Everything about Subpixel rendering
Technique for increasing apparent display resolution
Subpixel rendering is a method used to increase the effective resolution of a color display device. It utilizes the composition of each pixel, which consists of three subpixels of which are red, green, and blue that can each be individually addressable on the display matrix. Wikipedia →
