E Inks illustration suggest that these cells can support more than one 'pixel' as long as there are enough pigment subcells in each larger cell: if one cell covers two electrodes, both those electrodes can be used to 'paint' ...

I don't know if the cells are just randomly spread out -- in which case they're only to keep the pigment cells in one place, and the electrodes are the 'pixels' -- or if they're aligned by the electrodes, and so the combination of them act as the pixel.

I imagine that if a cell doesn't contain any pigment subcells it might appear dead ...
