Thumbs down E-ink screen closeup and anti-aliasing

I was reading some ebooks while I was waiting some sample preparation to finish up. Being the curious fellow, I wondered what the e-ink screen really looks like when zoomed in. And I though I should share this with my Mobileread fellows.

So here is the close up of the word "of":



You can clearly see the capsules with the black ink. With some electric field, one can manipulate the ink, turning the pixel black or white.

I was wondering about the anti-aliasing on the screen, and whether we can turn it off. Based on this picture, I think it is something inherent, as the e-ink screen does not really seem to have traditional pixels...

Edit: I do not know how I selected that thread icon
