Perceived display resolution of a color electronic matrix display

An electronic matrix display comprising:

• a plurality of gate lines;
• a plurality of source lines intersecting the plurality of gate lines;
• a plurality of pixel units, each pixel unit comprising:
• at least three split-pixel subpixel units connected to a common gate line, wherein each of the at least three split-pixel subpixel units is connected to a separate source line, wherein each of the at least three split-pixel subpixel units corresponds to a different color;
• and
• a plurality of switches for activating/deactivating the subpixel units, wherein each gate line and source line intersection point is hardwired to a plurality of different ones of the subpixel units of the same color such that one to one correspondence exists between each of the plurality of switches and each of the at least three split-pixel subpixel units and further wherein the source lines connected to the plurality of different ones of the subpixel units of the same color are paired together outside the pixel unit.

A method for creating an electronic matrix display comprising:

• constructing a display panel for the electronic matrix display comprising:
• a plurality of pixel elements of at least three different colors arranged in a repeating pattern to form a matrix of horizontal and vertical rows within a pixel unit, wherein within each horizontal row each pixel element except those on the ends of the horizontal row has two neighboring pixel elements that are a different color than the pixel element and that are a different color than each other;
• a matrix of gate lines and source lines;
• and
• a plurality of switches for activating/deactivating the pixel elements, wherein each gate line and source line intersection point is associated with a plurality of different ones of the pixel elements of the same color such that one to one correspondence exists between each of the plurality of switches and each of the pixel elements and further wherein the source lines connected to the plurality of different ones of the pixel elements of the same color are paired together outside the pixel unit;
• connecting the gate lines and source lines to a driving integrated circuit chip of a driving current unit;
• connecting a backlight unit to the display panel;
• and
• integrating the driving current unit, the display panel, and the backlight unit into a chassis housing the electronic matrix display.
