    Subpixel considerations for AMOLED screens

    marco:

    The alternating red/blue PenTile subpixel pattern, as described here, interested me when considering AMOLED-specific design tweaks for Instapaper’s text view.


    The Nexus One’s AMOLED screen displaying black text on a white background.

    Most significantly with OLEDs, power consumption is greatly reduced when displaying black or very dim colors, so a dark layout option is even more beneficial than with LCDs.

    Good to know. I’ve always been a fan of dark UIs (see the dark background on my Tumblr?) but I heard dark pixels actually use more energy than light pixels on an LCD.

      don’t suppose blue LED tech will catch up anytime soon.
