A nice idea. The trouble is our reliance on expecting displays to reproduce frequencies (aka. crispness) that is beyond the Nyquist frequency of the display.

A nice idea. The trouble is our reliance on expecting displays to reproduce frequencies (aka. crispness) that is beyond the Nyquist frequency of the display. So with the proposed bayer pattern, we can no longer represent horizontal and vertical lines which are common in text and widgets with the sharpness we expect (unlike photographs, where we don't expect these) We should be looking to satisfy Nyquist with a high enough resolution display and an optical low-pass filter between the display and the eye. Then things will all fall in to place...
