Display apparatus

A display apparatus comprising:

• a first substrate comprising a plurality of pixel areas arranged in an array of rows and columns, the first substrate having a length in a row direction longer than a length in a column direction and each of the pixel areas having a length in the row direction longer than a length in the column direction;
• a plurality of pixels arranged in the pixel areas, respectively, to display an image in response to an image signal;
• a second substrate facing the first substrate;
• a color filter layer disposed on the second substrate and comprising color pixels corresponding to the pixel areas in a one-to-one correspondence, the color pixels comprising red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow color pixels;
• and
• a pattern retarder disposed to face the first substrate, the second substrate being interposed between the first substrate and the pattern retarder, to split light passing through the first substrate and the second substrate into two lights having different polarizing axes from each other,
• wherein:
• first to sixth pixels arranged in 3 rows (first, second, and third rows) by 2 columns (first and second columns) among the pixels define a unit pixel that displays one color information, and each of the first to sixth pixels corresponds to a different one of the red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow color pixels;
• and
• the pixels arranged in the third row of all of the unit pixels correspond to the magenta color pixel and the cyan color pixel.
