         12 . The electronic display of  claim 11 , wherein the interleaved arrangement substantially prevents side angle color shift. 
     
     
         13 . An electronic display comprising:
 a plurality of sets of triangular LED groupings, the plurality of sets including alternating even numbered sets and odd numbered sets, each triangular LED grouping including a red LED, a green LED and a blue LED, and defined by two adjacent lines in a first direction and three adjacent lines in a second direction;   each even numbered set having a plurality of triangular LED groupings therein, each odd numbered set having a plurality of triangular LED groupings therein and offset relative to an even numbered set, with each intermediate triangular LED grouping in the odd numbered set being positioned between two adjacently-spaced triangular LED groupings in the even numbered set.   
     
     
         14 . The electronic display of  claim 13 , wherein portions of adjacent alternating sets of triangular LED groupings comprise an electronically scannable line. 
     
     
         15 . The electronic display of claim of  claim 14 , wherein the number of electrically scannable lines and the number of triangular LED groupings in each electronically scannable line is sufficient to provide a predetermined display area. 
     
     
         16 . The electronic display of  claim 13 , wherein the plurality of triangular LED groupings are positioned and supported on a circuit board.
