Analytical study of RGB vertical stripe and RGBX square-shaped subpixel arrangements

The frequency characteristics of subpixel-based decimation with RGB vertical stripe and RGBX square-shaped subpixel arrangements are studied. To achieve higher apparent resolution than pixel-based decimation, the sampling locations are specially chosen for each of two subpixel arrangements, resulting in relatively small magnitudes of horizontal and vertical aliasing spectra in frequency domain. Thanks to 2-D RGBX square-shaped subpixel arrangement, all the horizontal, vertical, diagonal and anti-diagonal aliasing spectra merely contain low-frequency information, indicating that subpixel-based decimation with RGBX square-shaped panel is more effective in retaining original high frequency details than RGB vertical stripe subpixel arrangement.
