Abstract
A color display apparatus, such as a color liquid crystal display apparatus, is composed of a multiplicity of sub-pixels each designed for displaying one of a plurality (k) of mutually different mono-colors and arranged in rows and columns so as to form pixels each with a plurality of mutually adjacent sub-pixels. The sub-pixels and pixels are so arranged that a number n given by dividing a total number of sub-pixels arranged in a row or column with a total number of pixels arranged in the row or column is set to satisfy: 1<n<k, wherein k denotes the plurality of the mono-colors displayed by the sub-pixels. As a result, the pixel pitch can be reduced to provide an increased display density and an improved display quality.
