Patent ID: 8902265

Claim:
A method of controlling a color display, comprising: providing a plurality of pixels located on a substrate, each pixel including only three light-emitting sub-pixels that each emits light of a different non-white color, the plurality of pixels including a first sub-set of first pixels and a second sub-set of second pixels, the second pixels having locations alternating with the first pixels, each of the first and second pixels including at least one first sub-pixel emitting light of a common first color, and the second pixels including at least one different sub-pixel emitting light of a different color that is not emitted by any sub-pixel of the first pixels, and wherein the light emitted by the sub-pixels of the first pixels defines a full-color gamut, and the light emitted by the sub-pixels of the second pixels defines less than a full-color gamut; providing a controller having circuits connected to the sub-pixels that converts a received image signal to a display signal by: receiving an image signal; converting the received image signal to a display signal; and controlling the light emitted by the sub-pixels with the display signal.
