Patent ID: 7888690

Claim:
An image display unit, comprising: a wiring board having an insulating surface for displaying an image in response to an image signal; and an array of pixels, each of said pixels including an array of three light emitting devices, each light emitting device emitting light of a different wavelength, only one address line common to the array of three light emitting devices and having a width greater than a width of any one of the three light emitting devices, and three data lines oriented in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of the address line, each data line corresponding to a different light emitting device of the array of three light emitting devices, and each data line having a width greater than a width of its corresponding light emitting device such that a total occupied area of the three data lines in the pixel is about half of an occupied area of each of said pixels, wherein each of the three light emitting devices for each of the pixels in the array are mounted on the wiring board with a hardened resin surrounding each of the three light emitting devices, and an occupied area of each one of the three light emitting devices for each of the pixels in the array ranges from about 25 μm 2 to about 10,000 μm 2 , wherein a ratio of the occupied area of one of the pixels on the image display unit to the occupied area of one of the three light emitting devices included in said pixel ranges from about 10 to about 40,000, wherein a total occupied area of all the three data lines for all of the pixels on the wiring board is about half of an occupied area of the wiring board, and wherein a pitch between immediately adjacent address lines in immediately adjacent pixels is greater than a pitch between immediately adjacent data lines in a given pixel or in immediately adjacent pixels, and a total occupied area of the address lines on the wiring board is less than the total occupied area of the data lines on the wiring board.
