Super AMOLED Plus Gets Crisper with Doubled Subpixel Count Thanks to ‘Real-Stripe’
PenTile has been a technique in place on the current generation of AMOLED and SUper AMOLED displays that shares green subpixels among several whole RGB pixels, creating a grainier image in displays with smaller pixel counts. With the introduction of the Super AMOLED Plus, Samsung has deployed a pixel scheme they are calling Real-Stripe, which introduces regular old pixels for all colors red, green and blue, eliminating the granulation issue caused by PenTile in older AMOLED displays.
The drawback to Real-Stripe is that pixels require a greater overall size, meaning displays need to be slightly larger in size to achieve proper resolutions. This would be why Samsung went with 4.3-inch and 4.5-inch versions of the Super AMOLED Plus in their Infuse and Galaxy S II.
These are the sort of subtle differences you might not notice at first comparison of the Super AMOLED and its Plus version, but the screen technology keeps getting better and better. Now, hopefully battery drain issues will improve alongside.
