DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(19) FIG. 3 shows a display 300 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The display 300 includes a display panel 200, an image data transformer 310, a kernel filter 320 and a display data transformer 330. The sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 are sub pixels with four different colors. In some embodiments of the present invention, the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 may be corresponding to red sub pixel, green sub pixel, blue sub pixel and white sub pixel respectively. However, the present invention is not limited to the aforesaid corresponding colors. In other embodiments of the present invention, sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 may be corresponding to sub pixels of other colors.

(20) To display the image data on different types of displays, the image data is usually stored in a traditional way with three color image data. The image data transformer 310 may transform the three color image data D.sub.RGB required by the traditional display, such as the image data can be displayed by the red sub pixels, the green sub pixels and the blue sub pixels in the display 100, to a four color image data D.sub.RGBW, such as the image data required by the red sub pixels, the green sub pixels, the blue sub pixels, and the white sub pixels, by color mapping. In some embodiments of the present invention, the three color image data D.sub.RGB may be the gray scales or the gamma values displayed by the red sub pixels, the green sub pixels and the blue sub pixels, and the four color image data D.sub.RGBW may be the gray scales or the gamma values displayed by the red sub pixels, the green sub pixels, the blue sub pixels and the white (or transparent) sub pixels.

(21) For example, if the grayscales corresponding to a red sub pixel, a green sub pixel and a blue sub pixel of a set in the three color image data D.sub.RGB are 20, 60, and 120, then, after transformed by the image data transformed 310, the grayscales for the red color, the green color, the blue color and the white (or transparent) color may be 0, 40, 100, and 20 respectively. That is, in the four color image data D.sub.RGBW, the grayscale of the white color may be the minimum grayscale, 20 in this case, among the grayscales for the red sub pixel, the green sub pixel and the blue sub pixel. However, in other embodiments of the present invention, the image data transformer 310 may also transform the three color image data D.sub.RGB to the four color image data D.sub.RGBW according to other mapping relation.

(22) Since the pixels 210.sub.1 and 220.sub.1 of the display panel 200 only include two sub pixels of different colors respectively, the four color image data D.sub.RGBW may pass through the kernel filter 320 to generate at least the original data OA.sub.1, OB.sub.1, OC.sub.1 and OD.sub.1 of sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1, and sub pixel 230D.sub.1 disposed in sequence respectively. The sub pixel 230B.sub.1 is adjacent to the sub pixel 230A.sub.1 and the sub pixel 230C.sub.1. The sub pixel 230C.sub.1 is adjacent to the sub pixel 230D.sub.1. In some embodiments of the present invention, the kernel filter 320 may generate the original data OA.sub.1, OB.sub.1, OC.sub.1 and OD.sub.1 of sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1, and sub pixel 230D.sub.1 by calculating weighted averages on image data of neighboring pixels in the four color image data according to a matrix.

(23) FIG. 4A shows a four color image data 400a according to one embodiment of the present invention. The four color image data 400a may be outputted by the image data transformer 310. FIG. 4B shows original data 400b of a sub pixel according to one embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments of the present invention, the kernel filter 320 may use a matrix K1 to transform the four color image data 400a to the original data 400b of the sub pixels. The matrix K1 may be for example, but not limited to, represented as

(24) $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.1& 0.1& 0.1\\ 0.1& 0.2& 0.1\\ 0.1& 0.1& 0.1\end{array}\right].$

(25) The four color image data 400a include nine pixels 410a to 490a with a center of the pixel 450a. Each pixel 410a to 490a may include image data of four different colors, such as the image data of red color, green color, blue color and white color, respectively. The original data 400b of sub pixels may include the original data of pixels 410b to 490b with the center of the pixel 450b. The pixel 450b may be corresponding to the pixel 450a; however, the pixel 450b may include only two sub pixels of different colors, such as a red sub pixel and a green sub pixel. Pixels adjacent to the pixel 450b include sub pixels of different colors that are different from the colors of the sub pixels of the pixel 450b. For example, the pixel 460b may only include blue sub pixel and white sub pixel. In some embodiment of the present invention, the original data 450b.sub.R of the red sub pixel of the pixel 450b may be generated by calculating weighted averages on image data 410a.sub.R to 490a.sub.R of the red sub pixels of the pixels 410a to 490a. That is, the original data 450b.sub.R of the red sub pixel of the pixel 450b may be represented as formula (1) as below:
450b.sub.R=(0.1×410a.sub.R)+(0.1×420a.sub.R)+(0.1×430a.sub.R)+(0.1×440a.sub.R)+(0.2×450a.sub.R)+(0.1×460a.sub.R)+(0.1×470a.sub.R)+(0.1×480a.sub.R)+(0.1×490a.sub.R)  Formula (1):

(26) Similarly, the original data 450b.sub.G of the green sub pixel of the pixel 450b may be generated by calculating weighted averages on image data 410a.sub.G to 490a.sub.G of the green sub pixels of the pixels 410a to 490a. That is, the original data 450b.sub.G of the green sub pixel of the pixel 450b may be represented as formula (2) as below:
450b.sub.G=(0.1×410a.sub.G)+(0.1×420a.sub.G)+(0.1×430a.sub.G)+(0.1×440a.sub.G)+(0.2×450a.sub.G)+(0.1×460a.sub.G)+(0.1×470a.sub.G)+(0.1×480a.sub.G)+(0.1×490a.sub.G)  Formula (2):

(27) In some embodiments of the present invention, the kernel filter 320 may generate the original data OA.sub.1, OB.sub.1, OC.sub.1 and OD.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 of the display panel 200 according to the aforesaid method used to generate the original data 450b.sub.R and 450b.sub.G of the red sub pixel and the green sub pixel of the pixel 450b. However, the present invention is not limited to apply the aforesaid method to generate original data of sub pixels. In other embodiments of the present invention, the kernel filter 320 may also use a matrix of different size and/or different weighting.

(28) The display data transformer 330 may further transform the original data OA.sub.1, OB.sub.1, OC.sub.1 and OD.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 to generate the first display data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1. In some embodiments of the present invention, the display data transformer 330 may transform the original data OA.sub.1, OB.sub.1, OC.sub.1 and OD.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 to generate the first display data M230A.sub.1, S230B.sub.1, M230C.sub.1 and S230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 according to a characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 200.

(29) Table 1 shows part of the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 200.

(30) TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 First Second Original characteristic characteristic data value value 32 74 15 64 105 32 96 123 79 128 128 128

(31) In some embodiments of the present invention, the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle may use two sub tables to store the relation between the original data and the first characteristic values and the relation between the original data and the second characteristic values respectively. The first column in Table 1 stores the original data, which is represented as grayscale in this case. The second and the third columns of Table 1 store the first characteristic values and the second characteristic values corresponding to the grayscales of the original data in the first column respectively. In some embodiments of the present invention, to avoid the image quality from being affected by a viewing angle of the user, the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle may map the brightness of the grayscale to two characteristic values according to the characteristic of viewing angle of the brightness of each of the grayscale. Therefore, the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 200 may have different corresponding relations between the grayscale of the original data, the first characteristic values and the second characteristic values as the characteristics of display panel 200 varies. In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 200 may use the gamma value to represent the original data, the first characteristic value, and the second characteristic value. In some embodiments of the present invention, a first characteristic value corresponding to a grayscale value may be substaintially greater or equal to a second characteristic value corresponding to the same grayscale, and the second characteristic value corresponding to the same grayscale may be substaintially smaller or equal to the grayscale.

(32) The display data transformer 330 may generate the first display data M230A.sub.1 and M230C.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1 and 230C.sub.1 according to the first characteristic values corresponding to the grayscales of the original data of the sub pixels stored in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle. Also, the display data transformer 330 may generate the first display data S230B.sub.1 and S230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230B.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 according to the second characteristic values corresponding to the grayscales of the original data of the sub pixels stored in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle. For example, if the grayscale of the original data OA.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.1 is 32, the first display data M230A.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.1 may by adjusted to about 74. If the grayscale of the original data OB.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230B.sub.1 is 64, the first display data S230B.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230B.sub.1 may by adjusted to about 32. Therefore, in the embodiment of FIG. 3, the brightness of the first display data M230A.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.1 (that is, the brightness of the grayscale or gamma value displayed on the display panel) is substaintially greater than the brightness of the original data OA.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.1, the brightness of the first display data S230B.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230B.sub.1 is substaintially smaller than the brightness of the original data OB.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230B.sub.1, the brightness of the first display data M230C.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230C.sub.1 is substaintially greater than the brightness of the original data OC.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230C.sub.1, and the brightness of the first display data S230D.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230D.sub.1 is substaintially smaller than the brightness of the original data OD.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230D.sub.1.

(33) In some embodiments of the present invention, the display data transformer 330 may generate two types of display data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 according to the first characteristic values and the second characteristic values corresponding to the grayscales of the original data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 stored in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle firstly, and then select the proper display data from the two types of display data as the first display data of the 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 by a switch. However, the present invention is not limited to select the first display data by a switch.

(34) Although, the data image transformer 330 may look up the first characteristic values and the second characteristics values of sub pixels with different colors in Table 1 in the aforesaid embodiments, in other embodiments, the display data of sub pixels with different colors may be generated from the original data of the sub pixels according to first characteristic values and second characteristic values with different corresponding relations. In other words, the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle may store the relations between the first characteristic values and the original data for different colors and the relations between the second characteristic values and the original data for different colors so that the display data transformer 330 may generate the display data of each sub pixels according to the colors of the sub pixels and the corresponding characteristic values stored in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle.

(35) After the display data transformer 330 generates the first display data M230A.sub.1, S230B.sub.1, M230C.sub.1, and S230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1, the display 300 may display a first frame of image F1 on the display panel 200 according to the first display data M230A.sub.1, S230B.sub.1, M230C.sub.1, and S230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1.

(36) Due to the display data transformer 330 of the display 300, the brightness of the first display data M230A.sub.1 and S230B.sub.1 of the adjacent sub pixels 230A.sub.1 and 230B.sub.1 are substaintially greater and substaintially smaller than the original data OA.sub.1 and OB.sub.1 respectively, and the brightness of the first display data M230C.sub.1 and S230D.sub.1 of the adjacent sub pixels 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 are substaintially greater and substaintially smaller than the original data OC.sub.1 and OD.sub.1 respectively. Consequently, the issue of color shift caused by different viewing angles of the users in the prior art can be solved.

(37) In some embodiments of the present invention, the display data transformer 330 may not only generate the first display data M230A.sub.1, S230B.sub.1, M230C.sub.1, and S230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 according to the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 200, but also generate second display data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 according to the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 200. In FIG. 5, the display data transformer 330 may generate the second display data S230A.sub.1 and S230C.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1 and 230C.sub.1 according to the second characteristic values corresponding to the grayscales of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1 and 230C.sub.1 stored in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle, and may generate the second display data M230B.sub.1 and M230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230B.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 according to the first characteristic values corresponding to the grayscales sub pixels 230B.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 stored in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle. A brightness of the second display data S230A.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.1 is substaintially smaller than the brightness of the original data of the sub pixel 230A.sub.1, a brightness of the second display data M230B.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230B.sub.1 is substaintially greater than the brightness of the original data of the sub pixel 230B.sub.1, a brightness of the second display data S230C.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230C.sub.1 is substaintially smaller than the brightness of the original data of the sub pixel 230C.sub.1, and a brightness of the second display data M230D.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230D.sub.1 is substaintially greater than the brightness of the original data of the sub pixel 230D.sub.1.

(38) Consequently, after displaying the first frame of image F1 according to the first display data M230A.sub.1, S230B.sub.1, M230C.sub.1, and S230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1, the display panel 200 may further display a second frame of image F2 according to the second display data S230A.sub.1, M230B.sub.1, S230C.sub.1, and M230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1. Namely, in some embodiments of the present invention, the display 300 may display the first frame of image F1 and the second frame of image F2 on the display panel 200 successively during a frame period. Since the first display data M230A.sub.1, S230B.sub.1, M230C.sub.1, and S230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 and the second display data S230A.sub.1, M230B.sub.1, S230C.sub.1, and M230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 are generated according to different types of characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle, the issue of low image quality caused by a pixel for displaying with fixed brightness that is substaintially greater or substaintially smaller than the brightness than its original data for a long time can be solved.

(39) In some embodiments of the present invention, the display data transformer 330 may generate the first and the second display data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 according to the first and the second characteristic values corresponding to the original data OA.sub.1, OB.sub.1, OC.sub.1 and OD.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle firstly, and then choose the proper display data for being displayed in a proper time frame as to generate the first and the second display data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 by the switch. However, the present invention is not limited to the aforesaid processing order.

(40) In some embodiments of the present invention, the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 may be sub pixels disposed in a row, however, in other embodiments of the present invention, the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 may be sub pixels disposed in a column.

(41) In some embodiments of the present invention, after the four color image data D.sub.RGBW passing through the kernel filter 320, original data OA.sub.2, OB.sub.2, OC.sub.2 and OD.sub.2 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.2, 230B.sub.2, 230C.sub.2 and 230D.sub.2 that are disposed in sequence on the display panel 200 may also be generated. The sub pixel 230C.sub.2 is adjacent to the sub pixel 230A.sub.1. The sub pixel 230D.sub.2 is adjacent to the sub pixel 230B.sub.1, the sub pixel 230C.sub.2 and the sub pixel 230A.sub.2. The sub pixel 230A.sub.2 is adjacent to the sub pixel 230C.sub.1 and the sub pixel 230B.sub.2. The sub pixel 230B.sub.2 is adjacent to the sub pixel 230D.sub.1.

(42) The display data transformer 330 may generate the first display data S230C.sub.2 and S230A.sub.2 of the sub pixels 230C.sub.2 and 230A.sub.2 according to the second characteristic values corresponding to the original data of the sub pixels 230C.sub.2 and 230A.sub.2 in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle, and generate the first display data M230D.sub.2 and M230B.sub.2 of the sub pixels 230D.sub.2 and 230B.sub.2 according to the first characteristic values corresponding to the original data of the sub pixels 230D.sub.2 and 230B.sub.2 in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle. In some embodiments of the present invention, a brightness of the first display data S230C.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230C.sub.2 is substaintially smaller than a brightness of the original data OC.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230C.sub.2, a brightness of the first display data M230D.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230D.sub.2 is substaintially greater than a brightness of the original data OD.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230D.sub.2, a brightness of the first display data S230A.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.2 is substaintially smaller than a brightness of the original data OA.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.2, and a brightness of the first display data M230B.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230B.sub.2 is substaintially greater than a brightness of the original data OB.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230B.sub.2.

(43) In some embodiments of the present invention, if the sub pixels 230A.sub.1 and 230A.sub.2 have the same original data, for example, both of the sub pixels have the grayscale of the original data to be 96, then according to Table 1, the grayscale of the first display data M230A.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.1 may be adjusted to 123, and the grayscale of the first display data S230A.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.2 may be adjusted to 79. Therefore, a brightness of the first display data M230A.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.1 is substaintially greater than the original data OA.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.1, which has grayscale of 96, and the brightness of the first display data M230A.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.1 is substaintially greater than a brightness of the first display data S230A.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.2.

(44) After the display data transformer 330 may generate first display data M230A.sub.1, S230B.sub.1, M230C.sub.1, S230D.sub.1, S230C.sub.2, M230D.sub.2, S230A.sub.2, M230B.sub.2 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1, 230D.sub.1, 230C.sub.2, 230D.sub.2, 230A.sub.2, 230B.sub.2, the display 300 may display the first frame of image F1 on the display panel 200 according to the first display data M230A.sub.1, S230B.sub.1, M230C.sub.1, S230D.sub.1, S230C.sub.2, M230D.sub.2, S230A.sub.2, M230B.sub.2 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1, 230D.sub.1, 230C.sub.2, 230D.sub.2, 230A.sub.2, 230B.sub.2. In other words, the display 300 may generate the display data of the adjacent sub pixels in the display panel 200 according to different types of characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle.

(45) In some embodiments of the present invention, the image displayed by the four color image data D.sub.RGBW may include edges of objects, such as the edge between an object in the front and an object in the background. If a sub pixel 230A.sub.3 is a sub pixel generated from an edge of the four color image data D.sub.RGBW by the kernel filter 320, then the display 300 may display the original data OA.sub.3 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.3 on the display panel 200 directly without using the display data transformer 330 to generate other display data of the sub pixel 230A. Consequently, the issue of edge blur caused by the sub pixels corresponding to the edges in the four color image data D.sub.RGBW being transformed to display different brightness can be solved. In some embodiments of the present invention, the display data transformer 330 may generate the two kinds of display data of the sub pixel 230A.sub.3 according to the first and the second characteristic values corresponding to the original data OA.sub.3 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.3 in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle firstly, and then choose one of the data among the two kinds of display data and the original data of the sub pixel 230A.sub.3 to display by using the switch.

(46) Although in the embodiments in FIG. 3, the display data of each sub pixel may be generated according to the characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle that is different from the characteristic values selected by its adjacent sub pixels, the present invention is not limited to the aforesaid embodiments. FIG. 6 shows a display 500 according another embodiment of the present invention. The display 500 includes the display panel 200, an image data transformer 510, a kernel filter 520 and a display data transformer 530. The difference between the displays 500 and 300 is in that the display data transformer 530 may generate the first display data M230A′.sub.1, M230B′.sub.1, M230C′.sub.2, and M230D′.sub.2 of the four pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.2 and 230D.sub.2 that are adjacent vertically (respectively disposed in two adjacent rows) according to the first characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle, and may generate the first display data S230C′.sub.1, S230D′.sub.1, S230A′.sub.2, and S230B′.sub.2 of the four pixels 230C.sub.1, 230D.sub.1, 230A.sub.2 and 230B.sub.2 that are adjacent vertically (respectively disposed in two adjacent rows) according to the second characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle. Therefore, in the embodiment in FIG. 6, the brightness of the first display data M230A′.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.1 is substaintially greater than the original data OA.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.1, the brightness of the first display data M230B′.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230B.sub.1 is substaintially greater than the original data OB.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230B.sub.1, the brightness of the first display data M230C′.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230C.sub.2 is substaintially greater than the original data OC.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230C.sub.2, the brightness of the first display data M230D′.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230D.sub.2 is substaintially greater than the original data OD.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230D.sub.2, the brightness of the first display data S230C′.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230C.sub.1 is substaintially smaller than the original data OC.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230C.sub.1, the brightness of the first display data S230D′.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230D.sub.1 is substaintially smaller than the original data OD.sub.1 of the sub pixel 230D.sub.1, the brightness of the first display data S230A′.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.2 is substaintially smaller than the original data OA.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230A.sub.2, and the brightness of the first display data S230B′.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230B.sub.2 is substaintially smaller than the original data OB.sub.2 of the sub pixel 230B.sub.2. That is, in the embodiments in FIG. 5, the display data of the two sub pixels in the same pixel can be generated according to the same column of characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display. For example, the display data of both of the two sub pixels in the same pixel can be generated according to the first characteristic values corresponding to the original data of the two sub pixels or the second characteristic values corresponding to the original data of the two sub pixels. Also, the display data of the sub pixels in two adjacent pixels disposed in the same row can be generated according to the different columns of characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display. For example, the display data of the sub pixels in two adjacent pixels in the same row can be generated according to the first characteristic value and the second characteristic value corresponding to the original data of the two sub pixels respectively, or the second characteristic value and the first characteristic value corresponding to the original data of the two sub pixels respectively. In other words, in some embodiments of the present invention, the pixels 210.sub.1, 220.sub.1, 210.sub.11 and 220.sub.11 are disposed in the same row, the pixel 210.sub.11 has sub pixels 230A.sub.11 and 230B.sub.11 with two different colors, the pixel 220.sub.11 has sub pixels 230C.sub.11 and 230D.sub.11 with two different colors and the sub pixel 230A.sub.11 is right adjacent of the sub pixel 230D.sub.1; therefore, the display data transformer 530 may generate the first display data M230A′.sub.11 and M230B′.sub.11 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.11 and 230B.sub.11 of two different colors according to the first characteristic values corresponding to the original data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.11 and 230B.sub.11 in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display, and may generate the first display data S230C′.sub.11 and S230D′.sub.11 of the sub pixels 230C.sub.11 and 230D.sub.11 of two different colors according to the second characteristic values corresponding to the original data of the sub pixels 230C.sub.11 and 230D.sub.11 in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display.

(47) In the embodiment in FIG. 6, the display data transformer 530 may further generate the first display data of sub pixels 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, 230C.sub.3, 230D.sub.3, 230C.sub.4, 230D.sub.4, 230A.sub.4, and 230B.sub.4. In display panel 200, the sub pixels 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, 230C.sub.3, and 230D.sub.3 are disposed in a same row, the sub pixels 230C.sub.4, 230D.sub.4, 230A.sub.4, and 230B.sub.4 are disposed in a same row next to the sub pixels 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, 230C.sub.3, and 230D.sub.3, and the sub pixels 230C.sub.2, 230D.sub.2, 230A.sub.2, and 230B.sub.2 are disposed in a same row prior to the sub pixels 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, 230C.sub.3, and 230D.sub.3. In some embodiments of the present invention, the display data of the sub pixels 230C.sub.2 and 230D.sub.2 that are adjacent to the sub pixels 230A.sub.3 and 230B.sub.3 and the display data of the sub pixels 230C.sub.4 and 230D.sub.4 that are adjacent to the sub pixels 230A.sub.3 and 230B.sub.3 may be generated according to different types of characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle, and the display data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1 and 230B.sub.1 that are adjacent to the sub pixels 230C.sub.2 and 230D.sub.2 and the display data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.3 and 230B.sub.3 that are adjacent to the sub pixels 230C.sub.2 and 230D.sub.2 may be generated according to different types of characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle. In other words, the display data transformer 530 may generate the first display data M230C′.sub.3, M230D′.sub.3, M230A′.sub.4, and M230B′.sub.4 of the sub pixels 230C.sub.3, 230D.sub.3, 230A.sub.4, and 230B.sub.4 according to the first characteristic values corresponding to their original data in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle, and may generate the first display data S230A′.sub.3, S230B′.sub.3, S230C′.sub.4, and S230D′.sub.4 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, 230C.sub.4, and 230D.sub.4 according to the second characteristic values corresponding to their original data in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle.

(48) In some embodiments of the present invention, the display data transformer 530 may not only generate the first display data M230A′.sub.1, M230B′.sub.1, S230C′.sub.1, S230D′.sub.1, M230C′.sub.2, M230D′.sub.2, S230A′.sub.2, S230B′.sub.2, S230A′.sub.3, S230B′.sub.3, M230C′.sub.3, M230D′.sub.3, S230C′.sub.4, S230D′.sub.4, M230A′.sub.4 and M230B′.sub.4 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1, 230D.sub.1, 230C.sub.2, 230D.sub.2, 230A.sub.2, 230B.sub.2, 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, 230C.sub.3, 230D.sub.3, 230C.sub.4, 230D.sub.4, 230A.sub.4 and 230B.sub.4 according to the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 200, but also generate the second display data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1, 230D.sub.1, 230C.sub.2, 230D.sub.2, 230A.sub.2, 230B.sub.2, 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, 230C.sub.3, 230D.sub.3, 230C.sub.4, 230D.sub.4, 230A.sub.4 and 230B.sub.4 according to the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 200. In the embodiment in FIG. 7, the display data transformer 530 may generate the second display data S230A′.sub.1, S230B′.sub.1, S230C′.sub.2, S230D′.sub.2, S230C′.sub.3, S230D′.sub.3, S230A′.sub.4 and S230B′.sub.4 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.2, 230D.sub.2, 230C.sub.3, 230D.sub.3, 230A.sub.4 and 230B.sub.4 according to the second characteristic values corresponding to the original data of the sub pixels in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel, and generate the second display data M230C′.sub.1, M230D′.sub.1, M230A′.sub.2, M230B′.sub.2, M230A′.sub.3, M230B′.sub.3, M230C′.sub.4 and M230D′.sub.4 of the sub pixels 230C.sub.1, 230D.sub.1, 230A.sub.2, 230B.sub.2, 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, 230C.sub.4 and 230D.sub.4 according to the first characteristic values corresponding to the original data of the sub pixels in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel.

(49) Consequently, after the display panel 200 displays the first frame of image F1′ according to the first display data M230A′.sub.1, M230B′.sub.1, S230C′.sub.1, S230D′.sub.1, M230C′.sub.2, M230D′.sub.2, S230A′.sub.2, S230B′.sub.2, S230A′.sub.3, S230B′.sub.3, M230C′.sub.3, M230D′.sub.3, S230C′.sub.4, S230D′.sub.4, M230A′.sub.4 and M230B′.sub.4 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1, 230D.sub.1, 230C.sub.2, 230D.sub.2, 230A.sub.2, 230B.sub.2, 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, 230C.sub.3, 230D.sub.3, 230C.sub.4, 230D.sub.4, 230A.sub.4 and 230B.sub.4, the display panel 200 may further display a second frame of image F2′ according to the second display data S230A′.sub.1, S230B′.sub.1, M230C′.sub.1, M230D′.sub.1, S230C′.sub.2, S230D′.sub.2, M230A′.sub.2, M230B′.sub.2, M230A′.sub.3, M230B′.sub.3, S230C′.sub.3, S230D′.sub.3, M230C′.sub.4, M230D′.sub.4, S230A′.sub.4 and S230B′.sub.4 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1, 230D.sub.1, 230C.sub.2, 230D.sub.2, 230A.sub.2, 230B.sub.2, 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, 230C.sub.3, 230D.sub.3, 230C.sub.4, 230D.sub.4, 230A.sub.4 and 230B.sub.4. That is, in some embodiments of the present invention, the display 500 may display the first frame of image F1′ and the second frame of image F2′ on the display panel 200 successively during a frame period. Since the first display data and the second display data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1, 230D.sub.1, 230C.sub.2, 230D.sub.2, 230A.sub.2, 230B.sub.2, 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, 230C.sub.3, 230D.sub.3, 230C.sub.4, 230D.sub.4, 230A.sub.4 and 230B.sub.4 are generated according to different types of characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle, the issue of low image quality caused by a pixel for displaying with fixed brightness that is substaintially greater or substaintially smaller than the brightness than its original data for a long time can be solved.

(50) In the embodiments of FIGS. 3 and 6, the displays 300 and 500 process the display data transformation after passing the four color image data D.sub.RGBW through kernel filter so that the complicated computation of the kernel filter can be saved. However, the present invention is not limited to this processing order. In other embodiments of the present invention, the four color image data can be firstly transformed by the display data transformer and then passed through the kernel filter so that the display data generated by the display data transformer may be displayed even more smoothly. FIG. 8 shows a display 600 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The display 600 includes the display panel 200, an image data transformer 610, a kernel filter 620 and a display data transformer 630.

(51) The image data transformer 610 may transform the three color image data D.sub.RGB to the four color image D.sub.RGBW, and the image data transformer 610 may transform the four color image data D.sub.RGBW to generate a first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW and a second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW. In some embodiments of the present invention, the display data transformer 630 may generate the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW according to the first characteristic values corresponding to each of the grayscales in the four color image data D.sub.RGBW in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 200 (ex., Table 1), and generate the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW according to the second characteristic values corresponding to each of the grayscale in the four color image data D.sub.RGBW in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 200. Therefore, if a grayscale for a red color of a pixel X in the four color image data D.sub.RGBW is 96, then, after transformed by the display data transformer 630, a grayscale for the red color in the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW corresponding to the grayscale for the red color of the pixel X in the four color image data D.sub.RGBW would be 123 (according to the first characteristic value), and a grayscale for the red color in the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW corresponding to the grayscale for the red color of the pixel X in the four color image data D.sub.RGBW would be 79 (according to the second characteristic value). That is, a brightness of the grayscale for the red color in the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW corresponding to the grayscale for the red color of the pixel X in the four color image data D.sub.RGBW can be substaintially greater than or equal to a brightness of the grayscale for the red color of the pixel X in the four color image data D.sub.RGBW, and a brightness of the grayscale for the red color in the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW corresponding to the grayscale for the red color of the pixel X in the four color image data D.sub.RGBW can be substaintially smaller than or equal to the brightness of the grayscale for the red color of the pixel X in the four color image data D.sub.RGBW.

(52) Since the pixels 210.sub.1 and 220.sub.1 in the display panel 200 include only two sub pixels respectively, the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW and the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW generated by the display data transformer 630 may still be passed through the kernel filter 620 to generate the display data needed by each of the sub pixels in the display panel 200. In some embodiments of the present invention, the kernel filter 620 may generate the display data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 by using the matrix K1 to calculate weighted averages on adjacent pixels in the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW and the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW.

(53) In some embodiments of the present invention, the display 600 may generate the first display data M230A.sub.1 and M230C.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1 and 230C.sub.1 by passing the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 620, and generate the first display data S230B.sub.1 and S230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230B.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 by passing the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 620.

(54) After the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW and the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW pass through the kernel filter 620, the display 600 may derive the first display data M230A.sub.1, S230B.sub.1, M230C.sub.1 and S230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 so the display panel 200 may display the first frame of image F1 according to the first display data M230A.sub.1, S230B.sub.1, M230C.sub.1 and S230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1.

(55) By passing the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW and the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 620 respectively, the first display data of M230A.sub.1 and S230B.sub.1 of the adjacent sub pixels 230A.sub.1 and 230B.sub.1 can be generated according to different types of characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle, and the first display data of M230C.sub.1 and S230D.sub.1 of the adjacent sub pixels 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 can also be generated according to different types of characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle. Therefore, the issue of color shift caused by different viewing angles of the users in the prior art can be solved.

(56) In some embodiments of the present invention, the display 600 may not only generate the first display data M230A.sub.1, S230B.sub.1, M230C.sub.1 and S230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 according to the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 200, but may also pass the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW and the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 620 respectively to generate the second display data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 according to the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 200. In the embodiments in FIG. 9, the display 600 may generate the second display data M230B.sub.1 and M230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230B.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 by passing the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 620, and generate the second display data S230A.sub.1 and S230C.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1 and 230C.sub.1 by passing the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 620. Consequently, after the display panel 200 displays the first frame of image F1 according to the first display data M230A.sub.1, S230B.sub.1, M230C.sub.1 and S230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1, the display panel 200 may further display the second frame of image F2 according to the second display data S230A.sub.1, M230B.sub.1, S230C.sub.1 and M230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1, and 230D.sub.1. In other words, in some embodiments of the present invention, the display 600 may display the first frame of image F1 and the second frame of image F2 on the display panel 200 successively during a frame period. Since the first display data M230A.sub.1, S230B.sub.1, M230C.sub.1 and S230D.sub.1 and the second display data S230A.sub.1, M230B.sub.1, S230C.sub.1 and M230D.sub.1 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1, 230D.sub.1 are generated according to different types of characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle, the issue of low image quality caused by a pixel for displaying with fixed brightness that is substaintially greater or substaintially smaller than the brightness than its original data for a long time can be solved.

(57) In some embodiments of the present invention, the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 may be sub pixels disposed in a row; however, in other embodiments of the present invention, the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1 and 230D.sub.1 may be sub pixels disposed in a column.

(58) In some embodiments of the present invention, the display 600 may pass the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 620 to generate the first display data M230B.sub.2 and M230D.sub.2 of the sub pixels 230B.sub.2 and 230D.sub.2, and may pass the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 620 to generate the first display data S230A.sub.2 and S230C.sub.2 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.2 and 230C.sub.2. Consequently, the display panel 200 of the display 600 may display the first frame of image F1 according to the first display data M230A.sub.1, S230B.sub.1, M230C.sub.1, S230D.sub.1, S230C.sub.2, M230D.sub.2, S230A.sub.2 and M230B.sub.2 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1, 230D.sub.1, 230C.sub.2, 230D.sub.2, 230A.sub.2 and 230B.sub.2. That is, in the display panel 200 of the display 600, the display data of each of the sub pixels may be generated according to different types of characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle from the characteristic values used by its adjacent sub pixels.

(59) In some embodiments of the present invention, the image displayed by the four color image data D.sub.RGBW may include edges of objects, such as the edge between an object in the foreground and an object in the background. The display 600 may pass the four color image data D.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 620 to generate the display data of each of the sub pixels. If a sub pixels 230A.sub.3 is generated by the kernel filter 620 from an edge of the four color image data D.sub.RGBW, the display 600 may display the display data generated by passing the four color image data D.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 620 on the display panel 200 directly without using the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW and the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW. Consequently, the issue of edge blur caused by the sub pixels corresponding to the edges in the four color image data D.sub.RGBW being transformed to display different brightness can be solved. In some embodiments of the present invention, the display may pass the four color image data D.sub.RGBW, the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW and the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 620 to generate three different kinds of display data of the sub pixel 230A.sub.3, and then choose one kind of the display data among the three kinds display data of the sub pixel 230A.sub.3 for display by using the switch.

(60) Although in the embodiments in FIG. 8, the display data of each sub pixel may be generated according to characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle that is different from the characteristic values selected by its adjacent sub pixels, the present invention is not limited to the aforesaid embodiments. FIG. 10 shows a display 700 according one embodiment of the present invention. The display 700 includes the display panel 200, an image data transformer 710, a kernel filter 720 and a display data transformer 730. The difference between the displays 700 and 600 is in that the display data transformer 730 may pass the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 720 to generate the first display data M230A′.sub.1, M230B′.sub.1, M230C′.sub.2 and M230D′.sub.2 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.2 and 230D.sub.2 (according to the first characteristic values) and pass the pass the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 720 to generate the first display data S230C′.sub.1, S230D′.sub.1, S230A′.sub.2 and S230B′.sub.2 of the sub pixels 230C.sub.1, 230D.sub.1, 230A.sub.2 and 230B.sub.2 (according to the second characteristic values). In other words, in the embodiments in FIG. 10, the display data of the two sub pixels in the same pixel can be generated according to the same column of characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display. For example, the display data of both of the two sub pixels in the same pixel can be generated according to the first characteristic values corresponding to the original data of the two sub pixels or the second characteristic values corresponding to the original data of the two sub pixels. Also, the display data of the sub pixels in two adjacent pixels disposed in the same row can be generated according to the different columns of characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display. For example, the display data of the sub pixels in two adjacent pixels can be generated according to the first characteristic value and the second characteristic value corresponding to the original data of the two sub pixels respectively, or the second characteristic value and the first characteristic value corresponding to the original data of the two sub pixels. In other words, in some embodiments of the present invention, the pixels 210.sub.1, 220.sub.1, 210.sub.11 and 220.sub.11 are disposed in the same row, the pixel 210.sub.11 has sub pixels 230A.sub.11 and 230B.sub.11 with two different colors, the pixel 220.sub.11 has sub pixels 230C.sub.11 and 230D.sub.11 with two different colors, and the sub pixel 230A.sub.11 is right adjacent of the sub pixel 230D.sub.1. Therefore, the display data transformer 730 may generate the first display data M230A′.sub.11 and M230B′.sub.11 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.11 and 230B.sub.11 according to the first characteristic values corresponding to the original data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.11 and 230B.sub.11 in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display. Namely, the display data transformer 730 may pass the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 720 to generate the first display data M230A′.sub.11 and M230B′.sub.11 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.11 and 230B.sub.11. Also, the display data transformer 730 may generate the first display data S230C′.sub.11 and S230D′.sub.11 of the sub pixels 230C.sub.11 and 230D.sub.11 according to the second characteristic values corresponding to the original data of the sub pixels 230C.sub.11 and 230D.sub.11 in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display. Namely, the display data transformer 730 may pass the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 720 to generate the first display data S230C′.sub.11 and S230D′.sub.11 of the sub pixels 230C.sub.11 and 230D.sub.11.

(61) In the embodiments of FIG. 10, the display 700 may further pass the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW and the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 720 to generate the first display data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, 230C.sub.3, 230D.sub.3, 230C.sub.4, 230D.sub.4, 230A.sub.4 and 230B.sub.4. In some embodiments of the present invention, the display data of the sub pixels 230C.sub.2 and 230D.sub.2, that are adjacent to the sub pixels 230A.sub.3 and 230B.sub.3, and the display data of the sub pixels 230C.sub.4 and 230D.sub.4, that are adjacent to the sub pixels 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, may be generated according to different types of characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle. Also, the display data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1 and 230B.sub.1, that are adjacent to the sub pixels 230C.sub.2 and 230D.sub.2, and the display data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.3 and 230B.sub.3, that are adjacent to the sub pixels 230C.sub.2 and 230D.sub.2, may be generated according to different types of characteristic values in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle. In other words, the display may pass the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 720 to generate the first display data M230C′.sub.3, M230D′.sub.3, M230A′.sub.4 and M230B′.sub.4 of the sub pixels 230C.sub.3, 230D.sub.3, 230A.sub.4 and 230B.sub.4 (according to the first characteristic value), and may pass the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 720 to generate the first display data S230A′.sub.3, S230B′.sub.3, S230C′.sub.4 and S230D′.sub.4 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, 230C.sub.4 and 230D.sub.4 (according to the second characteristic value).

(62) In some embodiments of the present invention, the display 700 may not only generate the first display data M230A′.sub.1, M230B′.sub.1, S230C′.sub.1, S230D′.sub.1, M230C′.sub.2, M230D′.sub.2, S230A′.sub.2, S230B′.sub.2, S230A′.sub.3, S230B′.sub.3, M230C′.sub.3, M230D′.sub.3, S230C′.sub.4, S230D′.sub.4, M230A′.sub.4 and M230B′.sub.4 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1, 230D.sub.1, 230C.sub.2, 230D.sub.2, 230A.sub.2, 230B.sub.2, 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, 230C.sub.3, 230D.sub.3, 230C.sub.4, 230D.sub.4, 230A.sub.4 and 230B.sub.4 according to the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 200, but may also generate the second display data of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.1, 230D.sub.1, 230C.sub.2, 230D.sub.2, 230A.sub.2, 230B.sub.2, 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, 230C.sub.3, 230D.sub.3, 230C.sub.4, 230D.sub.4, 230A.sub.4 and 230B.sub.4 according to the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 200. In the embodiment in FIG. 11, the display 700 may pass the second four color image data D2.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 720 to generate the second display data S230A′.sub.1, S230B′.sub.1, S230C′.sub.2, S230D′.sub.2, S230C′.sub.3, S230D′.sub.3, S230A′.sub.4 and S230B′.sub.4 of the sub pixels 230A.sub.1, 230B.sub.1, 230C.sub.2, 230D.sub.2, 230C.sub.3, 230D.sub.3, 230A.sub.4 and 230B.sub.4 (according to the second characteristic values), and may pass the first four color image data D1.sub.RGBW through the kernel filter 720 to generate the second display data M230C′.sub.1, M230D′.sub.1, M230A′.sub.2, M 230B′.sub.2, M 230A′.sub.3, M 230B′.sub.3, M 230C′.sub.4 and M 230D′.sub.4 of the sub pixels 230C.sub.1, 230D.sub.1, 230A.sub.2, 230B.sub.2, 230A.sub.3, 230B.sub.3, 230C.sub.4 and 230D.sub.4 (according to the first characteristic values).

(64) According to displays 300, 500, 600 and 700, the brightness of each of the pixels can be adjusted according to the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle so that the issue of color shift caused by different viewing angles of the users in the prior art can be solved.

(65) FIG. 12 shows a display 800 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The display 800 includes an image data transformer 810, a display panel 820, and a display data transformer 830. The display panel 820 includes six pixels 822.sub.1-822.sub.6. The pixel 822.sub.1 includes a first color sub pixel 822A.sub.1, a second color sub pixel 822B.sub.1, a third color sub pixel 822C.sub.1 and a fourth color sub pixel 822D.sub.1.

The pixel 822.sub.5 includes a first color sub pixel 822A.sub.5, a second color sub pixel 822B.sub.5, a third color sub pixel 822C.sub.5 and a fourth color sub pixel 822D.sub.5.

In the display panel 820, four sub pixels in a same pixel are all disposed in a same row of the display panel 820. In some embodiments of the present invention, the first color sub pixel of each of the pixels in the display panel 820 is red sub pixel, the second color sub pixel of each of the pixels is green sub pixel, the third color sub pixel of each of the pixels is blue sub pixel, and the fourth color sub pixel of each of the pixels is white sub pixel. However, the colors of the sub pixels in the present invention are not limited to the aforesaid embodiment.

(66) The image data transformer 810 may transform the three color image data D.sub.RGB required by the traditional display to the four color image data D.sub.RGBW by color mapping. In some embodiments of the present invention, the image data transformer 810 may have same operational principles as the image data transformer 310 has for generating the four color image data D.sub.RGBW. The three color image data D.sub.RGB include grayscales for the sub pixels of three colors in the traditional display, and the four color image data D.sub.RGBW include the grayscales corresponding to the sub pixels in each of the pixels 822.sub.1 to 822.sub.6.

(67) To solve the issue of color shift caused by different viewing angles of the users for the display 800, the display data transformer 830 may generate the grayscales that will be displayed practically by the sub pixels of each of the pixels 822.sub.1 to 822.sub.6 by transforming the four color image data D.sub.RGBW according to the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 820 so that the display panel 820 will display images according to the grayscales displayed by the sub pixels of each of the pixels 822.sub.1 to 822.sub.6.

(68) Although Table 1 does not provide first characteristic values and second characteristic values according the colors of the original data and assumes the maximum grayscale to be 128, the present invention is not limited to apply Table 1. Tables 2-4 show parts of the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 820 according to one embodiment of the present invention. In Tables 2-4, the same grayscales of different colors may correspond to different first characteristic values and different second characteristic values. Also, the maximum grayscale in Tables 2-4 is 256.

(69) TABLE-US-00002 TABLE 2 Original data First characteristic Second characteristic for red color value for red color value for red color 128 130 116 192 200 190

(70) TABLE-US-00003 TABLE 3 Original data First characteristic Second characteristic for green color value for green color value for green color 128 135 110 192 199 188

(71) TABLE-US-00004 TABLE 4 Original data First characteristic Second characteristic for blue color value for blue color value for blue color 128 133 100 192 197 189

(72) The first column in Table 2 is the original data for red color. The second and third columns in Table 2 are the first characteristic values and the second characteristic values corresponding to the original data for red color in the first column. The first column in Table 3 is the original data for green color. The second and third columns in Table 3 are the first characteristic values and the second characteristic values corresponding to the original data for green color in the first column. The first column in Table 4 is the original data for blue color. The second and third columns in Table 2 are the first characteristic values and the second characteristic values corresponding to the original data for blue color in the first column.

(73) In some embodiments of the present invention, if the original grayscale of the first color sub pixel 822A.sub.1 of the pixel 822.sub.1 in the four color image data D.sub.RGBW is 128, then the display data transformer 830 may generate the grayscale displayed by the first color sub pixel 822A.sub.1 according to the first characteristic value, 130, or the second characteristic value, 116, in Table 2. If the original grayscale of the second color sub pixel 822B.sub.1 of the pixel 822.sub.1 in the four color image data D.sub.RGBW is 128, then the display data transformer 830 may generate the grayscale displayed by the second color sub pixel 822B.sub.1 according to the first characteristic value, 135, or the second characteristic value, 110, in Table 3. If the original grayscale of the third color sub pixel 822C.sub.1 of the pixel 822.sub.1 in the four color image data D.sub.RGBW is 128, then the display data transformer 830 may generate the grayscale displayed by the third color sub pixel 822C.sub.1 according to the first characteristic value, 133, or the second characteristic value, 100, in Table 4. Therefore, even the original grayscales for the sub pixels of different colors are the same, the grayscales displayed by the sub pixels of different colors that are generated by the display data transformer 830 may still be different from each other.

(74) In some embodiments of the present invention, the three color image data D.sub.RGB may be used to display image of single color, that is, all pixels present the same color with same brightness. When the three color image data D.sub.RGB is used to display image of single color, the four color image data D.sub.RGBW generated by the image data transformer 810 by transforming the three color image data D.sub.RGB will also be used to display the image of single color. For example, the three color image data D.sub.RGB may include the red data, the green data and the blue data for displaying the image of single color. If the grayscales of the red data, the green data and the blue data are represented as (128, 0, 0), then, when the image data transformer 810 generates the four color image data D.sub.RGBW with the same operation principle of the image data transformer 310, the grayscales of the red data, the green data, the blue data, and the white color may be represented as (128, 0, 0, 0) in the four color image data D.sub.RGBW.

(75) In some embodiments of the present invention, the display data transformer 830 may generate the grayscale displayed by the first color sub pixel 822A.sub.1 of the pixel 822.sub.1 according to the first characteristic values corresponding to each of the grayscales in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 820. For example, according to Table 2, the grayscale displayed by the first sub pixel 822A.sub.1 of the pixel 822.sub.1 can be set as 130, which is different from the original grayscale of 128. Also, the grayscales displayed by the second color sub pixel 822B.sub.1, the third color sub pixel 822C.sub.1, and the fourth color sub pixel 822D.sub.1 may still be 0.

(76) In some embodiments of the present invention, the grayscale displayed by the first color sub pixel 822A.sub.2 of the pixel 822.sub.2, which is disposed in a same row as the pixel 822.sub.1, may be same as the grayscale displayed by the first color sub pixel 822A.sub.1 of the pixel 822.sub.1, namely, 130. Also, the display data transformer 830 may generate the grayscales displayed by the first color sub pixels disposed in two adjacent rows according to the first characteristic values and the second characteristic values corresponding to each of the grayscale respectively in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 820. In other words, the grayscales displayed by the first color sub pixels disposed in two adjacent rows may be different. For example, the pixels 822.sub.1 and 822.sub.3 are disposed in two adjacent rows so that the display data transformer 830 may generate the grayscale, 130, displayed by the first color sub pixel 822A.sub.1 of the pixel 822.sub.1 according to the first characteristic values corresponding to each of the grayscales in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 820, and may generate the grayscale, 116, displayed by the first color sub pixel 822A.sub.3 of the pixel 822.sub.3 according to the second characteristic values corresponding to each of the grayscales in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 820. Also, since the pixels 822.sub.5 and 822.sub.3 are also disposed in two adjacent rows, the display data transformer 830 may generate the grayscale, 130, displayed by the first color sub pixel 822A.sub.5 of the pixel 822.sub.5 according to the first characteristic values corresponding to each of the grayscales in the characteristic table of color shift and viewing angle of the display panel 820.

(77) Although in the aforesaid embodiments, the pixels 822.sub.1 and 822.sub.2 in the display panel 820 are pixels in the same row and the four sub pixels of the same pixel are disposed in the same row in the display panel 820, in other embodiments of the present invention, the pixels 822.sub.1 and 822.sub.2 can also be adjacent pixels in the same column and the four sub pixels of the same pixel can be disposed in the same column in the display panel 820. In this case, if the four color image data is still for image of a single color and the grayscales corresponding to the red, green, blue, and white color sub pixels are still represented as (128, 0, 0, 0), then the grayscales displayed by the first color sub pixels of the pixels in the same column will be the same, and the grayscales displayed by the first color sub pixels of the pixels in two adjacent columns will be different.

(78) Furthermore, in FIG. 12, the sub pixels of different colors of the pixels in the same row are disposed in a same order, and the sub pixels of different colors of the pixels in two adjacent rows are disposed in different orders. For example, the first color sub pixel 822A.sub.1, the second color sub pixel 822B.sub.1, the third color sub pixel 822C.sub.1, and the fourth color sub pixel 822D.sub.1 of the pixel 822.sub.1 are disposed in a different order from the first color sub pixel 822A.sub.3, the second color sub pixel 822B.sub.3, the third color sub pixel 822C.sub.3, and the fourth color sub pixel 822D.sub.3 of the pixel 822.sub.3 are disposed. However, the present invention is not limited by the aforesaid embodiments. In other embodiments of the present invention, the sub pixels of all the pixels can be disposed in a same order.
