ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sub-pixel resolution

Okay kiddo, have you ever looked at your computer screen really closely? Like super, super close? If you do that, you might notice that each tiny dot on the screen is actually made up of three even tinier dots - one red, one green, and one blue. These dots are called pixels.

Sub-pixel resolution is when we use those three tiny dots (the red, green, and blue ones) to make the picture on the screen even clearer and more detailed. It's like looking at a picture with a magnifying glass - you can see all the little details that you couldn't see before.

By using sub-pixel resolution, we can make things look sharper and more realistic on our screens. It's especially important for things like text, which can sometimes look blurry or fuzzy if the sub-pixels aren't used properly.

So when you see a really clear, sharp picture on your computer screen, it's because the sub-pixel resolution is working its magic!
