> Right, but there's still an addressable set of display units that convert an RGB signal to actual glowing lights, right?
Yes. But those glowing lights aren't little squares in a neat horizontal and vertical rows.
The square pixel is useful in logical contexts - like an SVG or bitmap graphic. But when it is turned into a physical display, those pixels aren't displayed as little squares. The RGB elements are arranged in dozens of different formations depending on the display technology.
Yes, except 80% of those displays align them as neat little rows and columns. Mobile is really the outlier with odd formations. Nearly everything else is physically identical to the grid conceptual model.
