1. A display device comprising:
a plurality of subpixel emissive areas of a first color;
a plurality of subpixel emissive areas of a second color;
a plurality of subpixel emissive areas of a third color, wherein the plurality of subpixel emissive areas of the first, second, and third colors are arranged in an array, the array having a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, with rows of the array including subpixel emissive areas arranged in a repeating pattern of a first color subpixel emissive area, second color subpixel emissive area, a third color subpixel emissive area, and a second color subpixel emissive area, and with alternating columns of the array including subpixel emissive areas: (a) arranged in a repeating pattern of a subpixel emissive area of the first color and subpixel emissive areas of the third color, and (b) including only subpixel emissive areas of the second color;
a plurality of scan lines;
a plurality of column lines; and
a plurality of electronic subpixel circuits arranged in the array, each electronic subpixel circuit configured for receiving electronical signals from a scan line and from a column line and for converting the received signals into a current signal provided to one of the subpixel emissive areas to drive light emission from the subpixel emissive area,
wherein in alternating rows of the array, subpixel emissive areas of the first color and subpixel emissive areas of the third color are driven by subpixel circuits located in different columns than the emissive area that is being driven, such that electronic subpixel circuits arranged in a column of the array drive columns of emissive areas having only one color.
