Patent ID: 8654050

Claim:
A multi-primary-color liquid crystal display device that performs a display operation in at least four primary colors, the device comprising: a plurality of pixels that are different colors and are included in at least two different types of subsets of pixels, each of the at least two different types of subsets of pixels includes at least two different color pixels of the plurality of pixels; wherein the multi-primary-color liquid crystal display device is arranged to perform rendering processing in which at least one of the plurality of pixels that defines a first one of the at least two different types of subsets of pixels lends a luminance to a second one of the at least two different types of subsets of pixels, each and every one of the plurality of pixels includes a first subpixel and a second subpixel that have a same color as the one of the plurality of pixels containing the first subpixel and the second subpixel, the first subpixel having a higher luminance and the second subpixel having a lower luminance, and the second one of the at least two different types of subsets of pixels borrows a luminance from the first subpixel of at least one pixel of the first one of the at least two different types of subsets of pixels.
