Large pixel multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display using fringe fields

A display unit comprising:

• a plurality of odd numbered rows of pixels, wherein the pixels on the odd numbered rows are of a first pixel design and alternate between a first dot polarity pattern of the first pixel design and a second dot polarity pattern of the first pixel design;
• and
• a plurality of even numbered rows of pixels;
• wherein a first pixel of the display unit using the first pixel design further comprises:
• a first first-pixel color dot;
• a second first-pixel color dot;
• and
