Must LCD pixel be square? How about a RGB Hexagonal Display?

Thank you guys for sharing your ideas in previous blog and forum topic! Aside from the functionality, Windell from Evil Mad Scientist Lab give us a jaw-breaking Hexagonal idea! I tried to illustrate the idea as below:

Actually it looks great when printed to 2-3cm diameter, which each pixel is about 1*1mm. Every details are uncertain, we might need in-depth consideration to come up the best most balanced way.

In the illustration, I tried to use 4 roll unit of ( 1+6+12+16), good for alphanumeric display or simple icon. If we use 3 roll unit of (1+6+12), it really save some space but some number like “B” will look wield. On the other hands, the controlling would be quite different from a normal graphic LCD.

How do you think? 🙂
