jetBook Color under the microscope
Since some people wonder how the jetBook Color renders coloured text at a lower apparent resolution than black text I thought I'd stick it under the microscope again to demonstrate. This is a small PDF just consisting of four lower case 'a' characters in black, red, green and blue. The black one uses all the sub-pixels available (1200x1600 of them at approx 206dpi) to render a nice smooth letter form. The coloured ones basically blot out the unwanted colour sub-pixels giving a checkered and slightly jagged effect, although it doesn't look anywhere near as bad on screen as it does in the magnified photos. I got bored before doing the green pictures...
Incidentally I used a trial version of Autopano Pro to stitch together the high magnification pictures out of smaller sections - I think I'll be buying it as it makes the job really easy.
