Samsung to use Sub-Pixel VGA Screens

pdawerks writes "Samsung Electronics has developed a new graphics chip that will allow half VGA screens to produce VGA resolution. The novelty is specially aimed at future mobiles with VGA screens that will be less than 2.4 inches. It generates color using an entirely new driving method called sub-pixel unit driving methodology." Not sure if I think it is exactly new or not, but it's nifty.

    You're running X on a cell phone? That's the news here, not the technology per se. This chip will be able to do sub-pix using very little power and on a teeny tiny display.
