I just looked with my JBC under the microscope, and it shows patterns like this:
RBGWRBGW
GWRBGWRB
RBGWRBGW
GWRBGWRB

In other words the pixels are oriented diagonal, not horizontal or vertical.
Doing the pixels this way assures for the widest spread of color pixels (eg focus on blue and you'll see they are connected like a spider web, and so are all the other colors).
eg:
blue pixels compared to the others:
B---B
--B--
B---B

This assures best spread of colors, and the least rasterization like you sometimes can see on an old CRT TV. It's a well thought out balance between the JBC's superior Black and white resolution, vs color resolution!

When I was looking at the screen under the microscope, it looked like the screen was full of small drops! I thought it was sweat from my hands, but seemingly I was wrong!
Those drops are actually plastic fog they melt on the screen as a surface treatment to make the device have less glare!
