I'd bet there's no physical layout of dot's with this optimal factor, but a reduction of 2 seems possible. from 166 to 83.

Besides, it seems the new 5" screes have a better resolution (200 dpi?), so the colour resolution could be 100 dpi already.
True, the color system being proposed is actually 4 bits with a white one as well as the 3 colors. This will produce 100 dpi on a 5" screen with no other improvements. It is not clear how far the technology can go with smaller dots but 200 ppi is probably not the upper limit.
