Patent ID: 7804466

Claim:
A display device comprising: a plurality of rows of pixels for displaying an image during a field having a plurality of subfields, each of the pixels comprising a plurality of light emitting elements having different colors; a plurality of data lines for applying data signals to the pixels for the light emitting elements to emit light; a plurality of select lines coupled to the pixels for applying a plurality of select signals, each of the select lines being coupled to a corresponding one of the rows of pixels to apply a corresponding one of the select signals thereto; a scan driver configured to provide the plurality of select signals sequentially on all of the select lines to sequentially select all of the rows of pixels during each of the plurality of subfields; a plurality of emit lines coupled to each of the plurality of rows of pixels for applying emit signals to the pixels, the plurality of emit lines configured to sequentially start applying the emit signals at substantially a same time as the select signals for the corresponding one of the rows of pixels start being provided in accordance with the plurality of subfields; and a data driver configured to apply the data signals to the pixels for the light emitting elements having different colors to sequentially start emitting different color lights during each of the plurality of subfields, such that each of the light emitting elements continuously emits light during a period having a total duration less than or equal to the duration of one of the plurality of subfields of the field, wherein a first color sequence of the different colors corresponding to the data signals applied to all of the rows of pixels from first through last rows in accordance with the sequential selection of all of the select lines in a first subfield of the plurality of subfields is different from a second color sequence of the different colors corresponding to the data signals applied to all of the rows of pixels from the first through last rows in accordance with the sequential selection of all of the select lines in a second subfield of the plurality of subfields, such that the first color sequence in which the light emitting elements having different colors start emitting light in all of the plurality of rows from the first through last rows in the first subfield is different from the second color sequence in which the light emitting elements having different colors start emitting light in all of the plurality of rows from the first through last rows.
