Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple light emitting elements (first light emitting elements emitting first light and second light emitting elements emitting second light) within the same sub-pixel structure. This merging approach allows different color lights to be generated simultaneously from a single sub-pixel, improving front surface luminance while maintaining a relatively simple overall device architecture by integrating rather than separating the different light emitting components

Solution Approach 2:

The sub-pixel structure is designed to serve multiple functions by incorporating both first light emitting elements and second light emitting elements. This multi-functional design enables a single sub-pixel to generate multiple colors (first light and second light), thereby improving front surface luminance without requiring separate dedicated sub-pixels for each color, thus avoiding increased device complexity

Inventive Principle:
