Abstract
The display panel may include a light source which includes a red subpixel region, a green subpixel region, a blue subpixel region, and at least one white subpixel region; a red pixel electrode configured to supply a current to the red subpixel region; a green pixel electrode configured to supply the current to the green subpixel region; a blue pixel electrode configured to supply the current to the blue subpixel region; and at least one white pixel electrode disposed in at least one from among between the red pixel electrode and the green pixel electrode and between the green pixel electrode and the blue pixel electrode. The at least one white pixel electrode may be configured to supply the current to the at least one white subpixel region.
Claims19
A display panel comprising:
- a light source comprising a red subpixel region, a green subpixel region, a blue subpixel region, and at least one white subpixel region;
- a red pixel electrode configured to supply a current to the red subpixel region;
- a green pixel electrode configured to supply the current to the green subpixel region;
