Ok, now people... don't be thinking I'm posting this expecting to see the big honker in a saber. Maybe someday, but... the point of this thread is to show that the idea of arranging the dies in a STAGGERED form would be much much MUCH more intelligent vs. putting Red "over there" then green "over there" then Blue "over there".

Granted... that will NOT be an easy thing to do (as near as *I* understand LED technology) while still keeping everything TINY TINY SMALL.
This also goes to show that Eandori is probably right on the mark to say that "SINGLE" LEDs (which btw, are really multiple "dies" ANYWAY) are more likely to benefit the saber community over time vs. most RGBs.
I hope we're wrong though. :) I hope that SOMEone is able to invent the RGB LED that is super small, and yet the colors can be staggered or "matrixed" or whatever you want to say, such as the following:
........DIE 1.................DIE 2..................DIE 3.......
RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB
RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB
RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB
........DIE 4.............CENTER 5...............DIE 6........
RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB
RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB
RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB
........DIE 7.................DIE 8..................DIE 9.......
RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB
RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB
RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB .. RGB RGB RGB
Of course... this would be pretty tough to do... even with current technologies.
But you could ALSO do the following--which is what I'm guessing the P5 is all about...
........DIE 1.................DIE 2.................DIE 3........
RRR RRR RRR .. GGG GGG GGG .. BBB BBB BBB
RRR RRR RRR .. GGG GGG GGG .. BBB BBB BBB
RRR RRR RRR .. GGG GGG GGG .. BBB BBB BBB
........DIE 4.............CENTER 5...............DIE 6.......
GGG GGG GGG .. BBB BBB BBB .. RRR RRR RRR
GGG GGG GGG .. BBB BBB BBB .. RRR RRR RRR
GGG GGG GGG .. BBB BBB BBB .. RRR RRR RRR
........DIE 7.................DIE 8.................DIE 9........
BBB BBB BBB .. RRR RRR RRR .. GGG GGG GGG
BBB BBB BBB .. RRR RRR RRR .. GGG GGG GGG
BBB BBB BBB .. RRR RRR RRR .. GGG GGG GGG
There is still a problem though, since it would STILL mean that each die would need to be isolated separately... and connected to its corresponding "correct" color die "buddies".
But anyhow--this kind of thing represents what some old style "pixels" used to look like on TVs. In some ways... they are still represented in essentially the same way.
Thoughts, anyone?
