Abstract
A display device (301) includes a plurality of pixels (302,309,310,315,330,331,332) operable to emit or modulate light. Each pixel of the plurality of pixels comprising a plurality of subpixels (303,304,305,306,307,308,311,312,313,333,334,335). To create an asymmetrical spacing across the display module, every pixel can at least two subpixels spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance (336), while one or more pixels, which form a subportion of the plurality of pixels, each comprise at least one subpixel spaced apart from at least one adjacent subpixel by another predetermined distance (337), where the other predefined spacing is greater than the predefined spacing.
Claims20
A display module comprising a plurality of pixels operable to emit or modulate light, with each pixel of the plurality of pixels comprising a plurality of subpixels, wherein:
- every pixel comprises at least two subpixels spaced apart from each other by a predefined spacing;
- one or more pixels comprising a subportion of the plurality of pixels each comprise at least one subpixel spaced apart from at least one adjacent subpixel by another predefined spacing;
- and
- the another predefined spacing is greater than the predefined spacing.
A method of placing pixels on a substrate to define a pixel array for a display module, the method comprising:
- placing all pixels such that at least two subpixels are separated by a predefined distance;
- and
- placing some of the pixels such that at least one subpixel is separated from at least one adjacent subpixel by a distance greater than the predefined distance.
