Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the display device into multiple independent sub-pixel portions, each containing multiple light emitting devices of different colors (red, green, blue). This segmentation allows each sub-pixel to be manufactured and controlled independently, enabling fine pitch arrangements to achieve high resolution without proportionally increasing overall manufacturing complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a universal sub-pixel structure that can accommodate multiple light emitting devices with different characteristics (different colors, different pitches). This multi-functional design allows the same basic structure to be used across the entire display, simplifying manufacturing processes while maintaining the ability to achieve high resolution through fine pitch arrangements.

Inventive Principle:
