You have to understand how the display effect works.
What switches, does with a 150dpi density.
Four neighbouring dots, in some way, are used to represent a single colour. In abstract. Concretely, it's four dots with different lightness and a fixed filter on top which darkens them to a fixed hue.
Now make the effort to visualize how text is rendered on such system. It will be a set of darkened dots under multicolor filters side by side to a set of lighter dots coloured by the filter. It's not properly 75dpi, since the text is rendered at 150dpi, and it's not 150dpi, since its background is not uniform, nor is probably the foreground.
The effect is probably properly said as being less than 150dpi, given the harlequinade, and more than 75dpi, given that there is an equivalence of sub-pixel rendering, and nonetheless still something anomalous, again given the harlequinade.
Is is clear now?

There are no "black and white areas", the black or white areas are one fourth of the display, the remainder being 1/4 dark red or light red, 1/4 dark green or light green, 1/4 dark blue or light blue...
