Why not RGBW with some interesting wavelength response of the white subpixel?
Hmm, I’m not really sure. A monochrome pixel would be much more sensitive, but without a neutral density filter it might saturate when the RGB pixels are well-exposed. With a neutral density filter I think it could resolve better the variation of light intensities of very small features.
Same with LCDs. It wouldn’t take much change in the manufacturing process much to create a WWW or YWB 1080p LCD that has less or no color but passes way more light, allowing less backlight or even a reflective mode, while still being driven with conventional electronics
So, would the WWW be a monochrome LCD? Wouldn’t these be similar to the ones sometimes used in small electronic displays like this one:
I am not sure of what the YWB would do.
These could be used in public transport signage etc. In some cases, a monochrome LCD with RGB backlight could also come in handy.
I am also interested in the use of the ‘E-Ink’ displays for public signage in well-illuminated places. I found a few examples online:
Also not really related but it infuriates me that Samsung turned the Bayer filter 45°, halved the pixel count and patented it as an OLED pattern so nobody can make similar displays.

I am not familiar with this… I looked it up and I think it is this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PenTile_matrix_family
I’ll look into it. Interesting!
