Development of the pentile Matrix color AMLCD subpixel architecture and rendering algorithms

Color subpixel rendering is enhanced by co-optimizing the color subpixel architecture and algorithms with respect to human vision. This has resulted in the PenTile display technology, which provides double the information content per subpixel when compared to a conventional RGB Stripe display. Output performance results from mathematical modeling, software simulations, and prototype AMLCDs displays demonstrate significant quality improvements to both text and full-color images in comparison to images from RGB Stripe displays that have the same number of subpixels and column drivers.

71.3: Invited Paper: High‐Pixel‐Density Mobile Displays: Challenges and Solutions

High-pixel-density displays are now under development to meet the needs of next-generation mobile devices; methods to more efficiently build such displays are described. Displays based on subpixel rendering and RGBW technologies, known as PenTile Matrix™ RGBW, are shown to offer the best approach to meeting the demanding requirements of low manufacturing cost, high brightness, and low power.
