Abstract:
1. An array for a display, comprising: a plurality of row positions and a plurality of column positions; a plurality of three-color pixel elements, one of said three-color pixel elements disposed in each of said row positions and said column positions, each of said three-color pixel elements comprising: a blue emitter disposed at a center of a square disposed at an origin of an X, Y coordinate system having a first, a second, a third, and a fourth quadrant, wherein said blue emitter is square-shaped; a pair of red emitters spaced apart from said blue emitter and symmetrically disposed about said blue emitter in said second and said fourth quadrants, wherein said red emitters occupy a portion of said second and said fourth quadrants not occupied by said blue emitter, wherein said red emitters are generally square-shaped having truncated inwardly-facing corners forming edges parallel to sides of said blue emitter; a pair of green emitters spaced apart from said blue emitter and symmetrically disposed about said blue emitter in said first and said third quadrants, wherein said green emitters occupy a portion of said first and said third quadrants not occupied by said blue emitter, wherein said green emitters are generally square-shaped having truncated inwardly-facing corners forming edges parallel to said sides of said blue emitter; a pair of row lines associated with each said row position in said array, a first of said row lines coupled to said red emitters and to said green emitters in said row position disposed above said origin of said coordinate system in each of said three-color pixel elements and coupled to said blue emitters of every even pair of adjacent said three-color pixel elements in said row position, and a second of said row lines coupled to said red emitters and to said green emitters in said row position disposed below said origin of said coordinate system in each of said three-color pixel elements, and coupled to said blue emitters of every odd pair of adjacent said three-color pixel elements in said row position; and three column lines associated with each said column position in said array, a first of said column lines coupled to said red emitters and to said green emitters in said column position disposed left of said origin of said rectangular coordinate system in each of said three-color pixel elements, a second of said column lines coupled to said blue emitter in said column position disposed at said origin of said rectangular coordinate system in each of said three-color pixel elements, and a third of said column lines coupled to said red emitters and to said green emitters in said column position disposed right of said origin of said rectangular coordinate system in each of said three-color pixel elements, wherein said second column line is coupled to said second column line of a next nearest neighboring said three-color pixel element.
