1. A display method applied to a display panel, wherein the display panel comprises a plurality of rows of sub-pixels, the sub-pixels in each row are arranged in cyclical orders of sub-pixels of three colors, and the cyclical orders of the sub-pixels in the respective rows being the same; the adjacent sub-pixels in a column direction having different colors and being staggered from each other by ½ of a sub-pixel in a row direction, wherein the display method comprises the following steps: S1, generating an original image composed of a matrix of virtual pixels; S2, enabling the virtual pixels to correspond to sampling locations, wherein each sampling location corresponds to a virtual pixel; wherein each sampling location is located between every two adjacent rows of the sub-pixels, and corresponds to a location between two sub-pixels in one row and a central location of a sub-pixel in the other row; and S3, calculating a display component of each sub-pixel in accordance with original components of corresponding colors of the virtual pixels corresponding to the sub-pixel, wherein the virtual pixels are in one-to-one correspondence with the sampling locations, the sampling locations constitute a matrix, the number of rows of the matrix is less than the number of rows of the sub-pixels of the display panel by one and the number of columns of the matrix is less than twice of the number of the sub-pixels in one row by two; and a dimension of a sub-pixel in each of the first row and the last row in the column direction is ½ of that of a standard sub-pixel in the column direction.
