I am reading this article: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
It says that the formula Android uses to convert between a dp
If what I've read is correct, 1.5px means the single '1' pixel is a color specified, and the .5 of a pixel surrounding it will be a blend with the '1' pixel and a pixel next to it.
E.g.
| A | AB | B |
A is 1.5px and B is 1.5x, therefore the pixel in-between is a mixture of both.
So using that, two pixels next to each other will be blended together e.g with a 1px display
| X | Y |
Now with a 1.5px display:
| XY | YX | It becomes mix of both! but the pixel set as X will be more X than the pixel set as Y
