A method of improving resolution of an image comprising an outline and a foreground color associated with a region of the image inside the outline and a background color associated with a region of the image outside the outline to be displayed by a display device having a plurality of pixels, each pixel including at least three pixel sub-components each of a different color, the pixel sub-components of the plurality of pixels being arranged to form stripes of same-colored pixel sub-components, the method comprising: mapping portions (622, 623, 624) of the image to respective individual sub-components (632, 633, 634) of a pixel, such that each of the respective individual sub-components of the pixel has a spatially different portion of the image mapped thereto, wherein each mapped portion comprises a set of segments of a rectangular grid representing the image, each set comprising one or more segments of the grid which are consecutive in a direction perpendicular to the stripes of the same-colored pixel sub-components; generating separate luminous intensity values for each of the respective individual sub-components of the pixel, comprising selecting either an "on" or an "off' luminous intensity value, wherein the "on" luminous intensity value is selected if the center of the portion of the image mapped to the respective individual sub-component of the pixel is within the outline of the image, and wherein an "on" luminous intensity means that the respective individual sub-component is assigned a value which would produce the specified foreground color if all three pixel sub-components were used to generate the foreground color and an "off" luminous intensity means that the respective individual sub-component is assigned a value which would produce the specified background color if all three pixel sub-components were used to generate the background color; and displaying the image on the display device using the generated separate luminous intensity value for each of the respective sub-components of the pixel. mapping portions (622, 623, 624) of the image to respective individual sub-components (632, 633, 634) of a pixel, such that each of the respective individual sub-components of the pixel has a spatially different portion of the image mapped thereto, wherein each mapped portion comprises a set of segments of a rectangular grid representing the image, each set comprising one or more segments of the grid which are consecutive in a direction perpendicular to the stripes of the same-colored pixel sub-components; generating separate luminous intensity values for each of the respective individual sub-components of the pixel, comprising selecting either an "on" or an "off' luminous intensity value, wherein the "on" luminous intensity value is selected if the center of the portion of the image mapped to the respective individual sub-component of the pixel is within the outline of the image, and wherein an "on" luminous intensity means that the respective individual sub-component is assigned a value which would produce the specified foreground color if all three pixel sub-components were used to generate the foreground color and an "off" luminous intensity means that the respective individual sub-component is assigned a value which would produce the specified background color if all three pixel sub-components were used to generate the background color; and displaying the image on the display device using the generated separate luminous intensity value for each of the respective sub-components of the pixel.
