ClairVoyante Laboratories developed the PenTile Matrix, which uses five sub-pixels instead of the typical three, to take advantage of the fact that the human eye is more sensitive to blue colors."

  1. Doh! What about us colorblind folks? by cmckay · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Okay, I agree that this technology is cool, but I think I would still opt for a traditional LCD display. I'm red-green colorblind, so I am most sensitive to blue, rather than red or green as this display assumes.

    I'm surprised that nobody else has posted about colorblindness yet-- I was under the impression that more of us engineering types were affected!
