I was curious as to why there are two green color points for each blue and red color points and I did some digging to discover that the pixels are actually arranged in a pattern called a Bayer filter, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayer_filter. It's interesting because this pattern is meant to mimic the physiology of the human eye. "The luminance perception of the human retina uses M and L cone cells combined, during daylight vision, which are most sensitive to green light."
