Subpixel rendering

Subpixel rendering is a way to increase the apparent resolution of a computer's liquid crystal display (LCD) or organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display by rendering pixels to take into account the screen type's physical properties. It takes advantage of the fact that each pixel on a colour LCD is actually composed of individual red, green, and blue or other color subpixels to anti-alias text with greater detail or to increase the resolution of all image types on layouts which are specifically designed to be compatible with subpixel rendering.

Background

A single pixel on a colour subpixelated display is made of several colour primaries, typically three coloured elements—ordered (on various displays) either as blue, green, and red (BGR), or as red, green, and blue (RGB). Some displays have more than three primaries, often called MultiPrimary, such as the combination of red, green, blue, and yellow (RGBY), or red, green, blue and white (RGBW), or even red, green, blue, yellow, and cyan (RGBYC).

Faster (George Harrison song)

"Faster" is the third single from George Harrison's 1979 eponymous album George Harrison. Faster begins the second side of the LP, and is the sixth track on the CD. It was released as the third single of the album but was not issued as a 45 in the USA.

History

During 1977 Harrison went to a lot of Formula One races instead of writing any songs. Harrison had been talking to Niki Lauda after the Watkins Glen Race, and became inspired to write a song "that Niki-Jody-Emerson and the gang could enjoy". Harrison got the title of the song from Jackie Stewart's book, and then wrote the chorus. He wrote the rest of the song in a way that did not limit it to only motor cars, the only car-related word being machinery. However, when sound effects from the 1978 British Grand Prix were added to the song, it was clearly associated to motor cars. Harrison later stated that

The song was dedicated to "the Entire Formula One Circus" and in memory of Ronnie Peterson. The single was released by Harrison to assist the fundraising for the "Gunnar Nilsson Cancer Fund", a fund started after the death of the Swedish driver Gunnar Nilsson in 1978, caused by cancer. The single however failed to chart.
