This also allowed for sub-pixel font rendering since orange and blue pixels appeared half a pixel-width further to the right on the screen than green and purple pixels.

In a Sims city like Alphaville, players see the same stretch of green pixels on their computer screens, dotted with cartoon houses and stores.

Also, the new design is claimed to reduce the incidence of false colors, by having red, blue and green pixels in each line.

The number of green pixels is twice as large as that of the blue and red, thus the higher sensitivity and resolution of the human eye is replicated.

As each photodiode records the colour information for exactly one pixel of the image, without an image processor there would be a green pixel next to each red and blue pixel.

This is not the same as the number of pixels, because there are 3 'dots' per pixel - red, green and blue.

A row of 1 blue pixel, 2 black pixels, 1 green pixel, 4 black pixels:

The three clones, also played by Ms. Swinton (in more attractive if no more convincing hairpieces), are named after the red, green and blue pixels used to create color on computer screens.

Backlit color mode, with an alternance of red,green and blue pixels.

A conventional liquid crystal display with the same number of green pixels (green carries most brightness or luminance information for human eyes) as the OLPC XO-1 would be 693x520.
