The shortcomings of AMOLED PenTile displays have been heavy on our minds lately, especially with Nilay’s scathing review of the Droid RAZR screen (pictured below), whose RGBG pixel arrangement not only looks dim and grainy, but also has a greenish tint. Now a company called Ignis claims to have a solution, with a 300ppi AMOLED screen featuring a “true RGB” pixel layout that still uses current manufacturing techniques.
