The memo interestingly talked about screens, and that it does not contribute to the pixels as squares model because there are "overlapping shapes that serve as natural reconstruction filters"...

But it was in context of old CRT and Sony Trinitron monitors! I was wondering what it'd say about LCD screens but the memo is from 1995, and the first standalone LCDs only appeared in the mid-1990s and were expensive [1].

What it says about CRT electron beams no longer apply, but I'm guessing this still does:

> The value of a pixel is converted, for each primary color, to a voltage level. This stepped voltage is passed through electronics which, by its very nature, rounds off the edges of the level steps

> Your eye then integrates the light pattern from a group of triads into a color

> There are, as usual in imaging, overlapping shapes that serve as natural reconstruction filters
