Although we could just use a square matrix.
I’m assuming the reasons we don’t use a square are cost and space. Phones are pretty tightly packed in, every 1mm width you add probably has flow on effects for other things you can’t have.
And I am not sure what the limiting factor is but if you add a bunch more light sensors to make it square I’m assuming that comes with additional cost, not just the sensors but now you need to connect up a bunch more to whatever controls it which then might need more processing power or smaller connectors or some other flow on impact.
Oh yes, absolutely, to everything you’ve said. Every pixel on the matrix has to be wired up individually. My only argument would be that we’ve already reached ridiculous resolutions on phones - might as well plop a square sensor in.
