Subpixel rendering - Definition

This article or section should be merged with ClearType

Subpixel rendering is a generic term for providing an increase in LCD display resolution by taking advantage of the LCD display's geometry where each pixel is comprised of individual red, green and blue sub-pixel stripes. The eye can be fooled into perceiving the brightness of each of these colors as added resolution.
