Where Have I Seen PenTile Before?

PenTile technology has been incorporated into more than 70 high-resolution mobile products over the last three years, so you’ve seen it in a lot of places… though you may not have known it at the time.

There are two versions of this technology. One is called PenTile OLED, which has no white subpixel and uses an RGBG pattern of OLED subpixels. The other is PenTile RGBW technology.

PenTile OLED has been used most famously in phones like the Samsung Galaxy S and in digital cameras like the Samsung NX10.

PenTile RGBW LCDs have been used in phones like the Motorola Atrix.

It can just as easily be used in a GPS screen, portable video player, computer monitor, HDTV, electronic game or other high resolution phone or digital camera device.

The short answer to the question… you’ve seen PenTile displays all over the place.
