Preferably, a luminescence center of the first one of the first sub-pixels 11 in the first pixel column and a middle point of a connecting line which connects luminescence centers of the first and second ones of the second sub-pixels 12 in the second pixel column are on a same line in the row direction, a luminescence center of the first one of the third sub-pixels 13 in the third pixel column and a middle point of a connecting line which connects luminescence centers of the first and second ones of the second sub-pixels 12 in the fourth pixel column are on a same line in the row direction, a luminescence center of the second one of the first sub-pixels 11 in the first pixel column and a middle point of a connecting line which connects luminescence centers of the third and fourth ones of the second sub-pixels 12 in the second pixel column are on a same line in the row direction, a luminescence center of the second one of the third sub-pixels 13 in the third pixel column and a middle point of a connecting line which connects luminescence centers of the third and fourth ones of the second sub-pixels 12 in the fourth pixel column are on a same line in the row direction.
In the present embodiment, preferably, the first sub-pixel 11 is a red sub-pixel R, the second sub-pixel 12 is a green sub-pixel G, and the third sub-pixel 13 is a blue sub-pixel B, thereby the sub-pixels in the display substrate are arranged in RG/BG mode. In practical applications, the first sub-pixel 11, the second sub-pixel 12 and the third sub-pixel 13 also may be sub-pixels with other colors, which will not be enumerated one by one here.
The calculation method of output values of the sub-pixels in the display substrate of the present embodiment will be described below in detail by taking a specific example. In the present embodiment, as an example, the first sub-pixel 11 is the red sub-pixel R, the second sub-pixel 12 is the green sub-pixel G, and the third sub-pixel 13 is the blue sub-pixel B.
Since each of the pixel groups 1 comprises two first sub-pixels 11, eight second sub-pixels 12 and two third sub-pixels 13, the ratio of the numbers of R, G and B sub-pixles (R:G:B)=1:4:1. In the present embodiment, the total number of input values of input signals corresponding to all the sub-pixels in the display substrate is M×N×3 (wherein, M is a row resolution, N is a column resolution), that is, the input signals include M×N first sub-pixel input values, M×N second sub-pixel input values and M×N third sub-pixel input values. The display substrate has a replace ratio (RR) of 1.5 during displaying, thus the total number of output values of output signals corresponding to all the sub-pixels of the display substrate is M×N×3/2, wherein the replace ratio (RR) of 1.5 means that one pixel is represented by 1.5 sub-pixels during displaying. Since R:G:B=1:4:1, in the display substrate, the number of output values of the first sub-pixels 11 is M×N×3/2×1/6=M×N/4, the number of output values of the second sub-pixels 12 is M×N×3/2×4/6=M×N, and the number of output values of the third sub-pixels 13 is M×N×3/2×1/6=M×N/4.

Based on the above conclusion, the output values of the sub-pixels are calculated by the following calculation method.
The output value of each of the first sub-pixels 11 in the first pixel column is obtained by dividing the sum of four first sub-pixel input values corresponding to the first sub-pixel 11 in the first pixel column by four, wherein, the four first sub-pixel input values corresponding to the output value Routij (wherein, i refers to the number of the row and 1≦i≦M; j refers to the number of the column and 1≦j≦N) of each of the first sub-pixels 11 are respectively Rin(2i-1, 2j-1), Rin(2i-1, 2j), Rin(2i, 2j-1) and Rin(2i, 2j) thus Routij=(Rin(2i-1, 2j-1)+Rin(2i-1, 2j)+Rin(2i, 2j-1)+Rin(2i, 2j))/4. In the pixel group 1, the output value of the first one of the first sub-pixels 11 in the first pixel column is Rout11=(Rin11+Rin12+Rin21+Rin22)/4, the output value of the second one of the first sub-pixels 11 in the first pixel column is Rout21=(Rin31+Rin32+Rin41+Rin42)/4, and the output values of the first sub-pixels 11 in the first pixel column of other pixel groups may be deduced by analogy, which will not be described in detail.
The output value of each of the second sub-pixels 12 in the second pixel column is equal to the second sub-pixel input value corresponding to the second sub-pixel 12 in the second pixel column, wherein, the second sub-pixel input value corresponding to the output value Goutij of the second sub-pixel 12 is Ginij, that is, Goutij=Ginij (wherein, i refers to the number of the row and 1≦i≦M; j refers to the number of the column and 1≦j≦N) In the pixel group 1, the output value of the first one of the second sub-pixels 12 in the second pixel column is Gout11=Gin11, the output value of the second one of the second sub-pixels 12 in the second pixel column is Gout21=Gin21, the output value of the third one of the second sub-pixels 12 in the second pixel column is Gout31=Gin31, the output value of the fourth one of the second sub-pixels 12 in the second pixel column is Gout41=Gin41. The output values of the second sub-pixels 12 in the second pixel column of other pixel groups may be deduced by analogy, which will not be described in detail.
The output value of each of the third sub-pixels 13 in the third pixel column is obtained by dividing the sum of four third sub-pixel input values corresponding to the third sub-pixel 13 in the third pixel column by four, wherein, the four third sub-pixel input values corresponding to the output value Boutij (wherein, i refers to the number of the row and 1≦i≦M; j refers to the number of the column and 1≦j≦N) of the third sub-pixel 13 are respectively Bin(2i-1, 2j-1), Bin(2i-1, 2j), Bin(2i, 2j-1) and Bin(2i, 2j), thus Boutij=(Bin(2i-1, 2j-1)+Bin(2i-1, 2j)+Bin(2i, 2j-1)+Bin(2i, 2j))/4. In the pixel group 1, the output value of the first one of the third sub-pixels 13 in the third pixel column is Bout11=(Bin11+Bin12+Bin21+Bin22)/4, the output value of the second one of the third sub-pixels 13 in the third pixel column is Bout21=(Bin31+Bin32+Bin41+Bin42)/4, and the output values of the third sub-pixels 13 in other pixel groups may be deduced by analogy, which will not be described in detail.
The output value of each of the second sub-pixels 12 in the fourth pixel column is equal to the second sub-pixel input value corresponding to the second sub-pixel 12 in the fourth pixel column, wherein, the second sub-pixel input value corresponding to the output value Goutij of the second sub-pixel 12 is Ginij, that is, Goutij=Ginij (wherein, i refers to the number of the row and 1≦i≦M; j refers to the number of the column and 1≦j≦N). In the pixel group 1, the output value of the first one of the second sub-pixels 12 in the fourth pixel column is Gout12=Gin12, the output value of the second one of the second sub-pixels 12 in the fourth pixel column is Gout22=Gin22, the output value of the third one of the second sub-pixels 12 in the fourth pixel column is Gout32=Gin32 the output value of the fourth one of the second sub-pixels 12 in the fourth pixel column is Gout42=Gin42. The output values of the second sub-pixels 12 in the fourth pixel column of other pixel groups may be deduced by analogy, which will not be described in detail.
Compared with the RG/BG pixel arrangement mode in the prior art, in the RG/BG pixel arrangement mode of the display substrate of the present embodiment, the number of the second sub-pixels 12 is maintained, but the numbers of the first sub-pixels 11 and the third sub-pixels 13 are reduced. In the present embodiment, each of the first sub-pixels 11 corresponds to two second sub-pixels 12 in the pixel column adjacent thereto, so that the first sub-pixel 11 is commonly used by the two second sub-pixels 12, and thereby the RG/BG pixel arrangement mode is formed while the number of the first sub-pixels 11 is reduced; each of the third sub-pixels 13 corresponds to two second sub-pixels 12 in the pixel column adjacent thereto, so that the third sub-pixel 13 is commonly used by the two second sub-pixels 12, and thereby the RG/BG pixel arrangement mode is formed while the number of the third sub-pixels 13 is reduced.
In practical applications, image analog display tests and black and white line display tests are performed on the display substrate of the present embodiment, and the result shows that, the display substrate of the present embodiment has a high resolution. Thus, in the present embodiment, although the numbers of the first sub-pixels and the third sub-pixels are reduced, a high resolution still can be obtained by cooperation of the above corresponding calculation method. Since the numbers of the first sub-pixels and the third sub-pixels (i.e., the red sub-pixels and the blue sub-pixels) are reduced in the present embodiment, the display quality for an image mainly based on red and blue colors will be reduced to some extent. Thus, the display substrate of the present embodiment is especially suitable for display apparatuses with super high resolution. When the display substrate of the present embodiment is applied for the display apparatus with super high resolution, influences caused by reduction of part of sub-pixels are reduced.
In technical solutions of the display substrate of the present embodiment, each of the pixel groups 1 comprises two first sub-pixels 11, eight second sub-pixels 12 and two third sub-pixels 13, the two first sub-pixels 11 are sequentially arranged in the first pixel column and the two third sub-pixels 13 are sequentially arranged in the third pixel column. Each of the first sub-pixels 11 is disposed so as to correspond to two second sub-pixels 12 in the pixel column adjacent thereto so that the first sub-pixel 11 is commonly used by the two second sub-pixels 12, each of the third sub-pixels 13 is disposed so as to correspond to two second sub-pixels 12 in the pixel column adjacent thereto so that the third sub-pixel 13 is commonly used by the two second sub-pixels 12. The number of the first sub-pixels 11 and the third sub-pixels 13 in each of the pixel groups is reduced in the present embodiment, thus the number of the sub-pixels in the whole display apparatus is reduced, the complexity and the cost for manufacturing the display apparatus are reduced while ensuring a high resolution of the display apparatus.

In the present embodiment, as an example, the first sub-pixel 11 is the red sub-pixel R, the second sub-pixel 12 is the green sub-pixel G, and the third sub-pixel 13 is the blue sub-pixel B.
Since each of the pixel groups 1 comprises two first sub-pixels 11, eight second sub-pixels 12 and two third sub-pixels 13, the ratio of the numbers of R, G and B sub-pixles (R:G:B)=1:4:1.

The display substrate has a replace ratio (RR) of 1.5 during displaying, thus the total number of output values of output signals corresponding to all the sub-pixels of the display substrate is M×N×3/2, wherein the replace ratio (RR) of 1.5 means that one pixel is represented by 1.5 sub-pixels during displaying. Since R:G:B=1:4:1, in the display substrate, the number of output values of the first sub-pixels 11 is M×N×3/2×1/6=M×N/4, the number of output values of the second sub-pixels 12 is M×N×3/2×4/6=M×N, and the number of output values of the third sub-pixels 13 is M×N×3/2×1/6=M×N/4.

Based on the above conclusion, the output values of the sub-pixels are calculated by the following calculation method.
The output value of the first sub-pixel 11 in the first pixel column is obtained by dividing the sum of four first sub-pixel input values corresponding to the first sub-pixel 11 in the first pixel column by four, wherein, the four first sub-pixel input values corresponding to the output value Routij (wherein, i refers to the number of the row and 1≦i≦M; j refers to the number of the column and 1≦j≦N) of the first sub-pixel 11 are respectively Rin(2i-1, 2j-1), Rin(2i-1, 2j), Rin(2i, 2j-1) and Rin(2i, 2j), thus Routij=(Rin(2i-1, 2j-1)+Rin(2i-1, 2j)+Rin(2i, 2j-1)+Rin(2i, 2j))/4.

Thus, in the present embodiment, although the numbers of the first sub-pixels and the third sub-pixels are reduced, a high resolution still can be obtained by cooperation of the above corresponding calculation method. Since the numbers of the first sub-pixels and the third sub-pixels (i.e., the red sub-pixels and the blue sub-pixels) are reduced in the present embodiment, the display quality for an image mainly based on red and blue colors will be reduced to some extent.

Each of the first sub-pixels 11 is disposed so as to correspond to two second sub-pixels 12 in the pixel column adjacent thereto so that the first sub-pixel 11 is commonly used by the two second sub-pixels 12, each of the third sub-pixels 13 is disposed so as to correspond to two second sub-pixels 12 in the pixel column adjacent thereto so that the third sub-pixel 13 is commonly used by the two second sub-pixels 12. The number of the first sub-pixels 11 and the third sub-pixels 13 in each of the pixel groups is reduced in the present embodiment, thus the number of the sub-pixels in the whole display apparatus is reduced, the complexity and the cost for manufacturing the display apparatus are reduced while ensuring a high resolution of the display apparatus. Compared with the display substrate in the first embodiment, the first sub-pixel 11 and the third sub-pixel 13 in any pixel row are arranged symmetrically, so that the display state is more symmetrically, the display effect is improved.
