Subpixels in a sentence

For example, if a flat-panel display is examined under a magnifying glass, the pixels may appear as follows: Subpixels In the illustration above, there are nine pixels but 27 subpixels.

If each pixel on the display actually contains three rectangular subpixels of red, green, and blue, in that fixed order, then things on the screen that are smaller than one full pixel in size can be rendered by lighting only one or two of the subpixels.

In some displays, such as LCD, LED, and plasma displays, these single-color regions are separately addressable elements, which have come to be known as subpixels. citation For example, LCDs typically divide each pixel horizontally into three subpixels.

Subpixels Geometry of color elements of various CRT and LCD displays; phosphor dots in a color CRTs display (top row) bear no relation to pixels or subpixels.

Most VR headsets have displays with a resolution of roughly 2,000 x 2,000 pixels per eye and RGB stripe subpixels.

A stuck pixel is generated when one or two of the subpixels remain on and the rest are off.

Its look will vary in appearance based on which subpixels are working properly.

Almost all flat panels have a perfectly rectangular array of square pixels, each of which contains three rectangular subpixels in the three primary colors, with the normal ordering being red, green, and blue, arranged in vertical bands.

For example, if a diagonal line with a width smaller than a full pixel must be rendered, then this can be done by lighting only the subpixels that the line actually touches.

If the computer controlling the display knows the exact position and color of all the subpixels on the screen, it can take advantage of this to improve the apparent resolution in certain situations.

More precisely, the positions of the pixels and subpixels on the screen must be exactly known to the computer to which it is connected.

Most digital camera image sensors use single-color sensor regions, for example using the Bayer filter pattern, and in the camera industry these are known as pixels just like in the display industry, not subpixels.

Most printers already use such small pixels that aliasing is rarely a problem, and they don't have the addressable fixed subpixels ClearType requires.

Rotated displays, in which the subpixels are arranged vertically rather than horizontally, are not currently supported.

Some flat panels have unusual pixel arrangements, with the colors in a different order, or with the subpixels positioned differently (in three horizontal bands, or in other ways).

When the elements of a type character are smaller than a full pixel, ClearType lights only the appropriate subpixels of each full pixel in order to more closely follow the outlines of that character.

When the square pixel is divided into three subpixels, each subpixel is necessarily rectangular.
