Subpixel Experiments

[smiker]

i have been playing with subpixels, i think it's amazing how it works:

please zoom




^^ i luv them too much

I was searching for sub-pixel work the other day and I couldn't find anything this cool. I'm really impressed.

not really subpixel, more like rgb blending.

Thats pretty much how a tv works, am i right?

[smiker]

if you look closely you'll notice that this is a tft type subpixeling. the tv works in inverted bgr (also know as rgb) so, it's like tv...and it works the same way.

Well yeh, a lcd/tft screen has RGB pixels (some have BGR), what you are doing still is not much subpixelling as you have no real increased resolution.

Didnt find what I wanted to find, but this one is a pretty nice example of subpixeling:

As far as I know, subpixeling is something different, as this article explains:

http://www.grc.com/ctwhat.htm

This is the basic approach which is used by the new macs to make their fonts smoother (When you have a Mac, use [CTRL]+Scroll-Wheel, and see what happens). With this technique it is possible to adress the displays lightdots an a smaller level than the regular pixels.
What Crow showed is just AA, when I'm correct, cuz he uses the complete nearby Pixels and is not trying to adress the specific lightdots of the screen through pixel manually red/green/blue pixels at the end of the square. I think ptoing or baccaman showed this somwhere in this forum (can't find the thread right now)

The only real benefit of real subpixelling is making letters crisper and less jaggy.



No aa, subpixel rgb aa, 1 pixel classic and 2 pixel classic aa.

The technique where you animate something smoother TECHNICALLY speaking is not subpixel at all, just antialiased animation. The term subpixel animation just is being used for that for some reason.

i dont think this is as the workmode of a monitor, to make white we need three subpixels at max power (rgb, each one at max value)
so in this pic....a monitor would show nothing (taking away the fact that a subpixel cant be white color...

truly, i don't know what it is, but i can say that my pics shows how a monitor works - perfectly, as you can observe that there isn't any colors but red, green and blue, and that can demonstrate to anybody that don't believe it (i have one of that people next to me), that the light is composed of three channels
