Abstract
Disclosed is a display device in which high resolution representation is made by generating and displaying display data for each sub-pixel, and in which reduction in image quality is improved. The display device is provided with a display panel in which one pixel is constructed from sub-pixels of at least 4 colors. The display device generates the display data for each sub-pixel in accordance with an input image signal, and displays the display data on the display panel. Within the sub-pixels, high brightness sub-pixels which are the two sub-pixels having the highest brightness are arranged alternately with the other sub-pixels. Also, the area of each high brightness sub-pixel is smaller than that of the other sub-pixels. In a preferred example, the areas of the two sub-pixels having the highest brightness and the areas of the other two sub-pixels have area ratios in the following order: 1.0:1.0:1.6:1.6.
