Subpixel Rendering (Paperback)

Subpixel rendering is a way to increase the apparent resolution of a computer's liquid crystal display (LCD) by rendering pixels to take into account the screen type's physical properties. It takes advantage of the fact that each pixel on a color LCD is actually composed of individual red, green, and blue subpixel stripes to anti-alias text with greater detail.A single pixel on a color LCD is made of three colored elements-ordered (on various displays) either as blue, green, and red (BGR), or as red, green, and blue (RGB).
