This is a new technology for LCD-optimized rendering. It capitalizes
on the fact that each color channel grid is shifted by a third of a
pixel. Therefore it is logical to render 3 separate monochrome
bitmaps shifting the outline by 1/3 pixel, and then combine them.
Importantly, the resulting output does not require additional LCD
filtering.
