Virtual Sub-pixel Processing for Triangle Display Panels

The patent introduces virtual sub-pixels as an intermediary concept between the physical triangle-shaped sub-pixel arrangement and the desired strip-shaped display效果. By calculating display components for virtual sub-pixels based on multiple physical sub-pixels and then mapping these to actual pixel outputs, the system achieves strip-shaped arrangement visual effects while maintaining the compact triangle-shaped physical structure. This intermediary virtual pixel layer resolves the contradiction by decoupling the physical arrangement from the visual presentation.

The patent merges the display functions of multiple physical sub-pixels to create virtual sub-pixels that simulate a strip-shaped arrangement. By combining information from multiple triangle-shaped physical sub-pixels (including same-color and different-color sub-pixels) to form virtual sub-pixel display components, the system achieves superior line display quality while maintaining the reduced physical sub-pixel count of the triangle-shaped arrangement.

The patent transitions from a two-dimensional physical sub-pixel arrangement to a three-dimensional processing space by introducing virtual sub-pixels with calculated display components. The virtual sub-pixel layer adds a computational dimension that allows strip-shaped arrangement visual effects to be achieved through software processing rather than physical layout, thereby avoiding the increased device complexity that would result from actual strip-shaped physical arrangements.
