Pixels

  • A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image or graphic that can be displayed and represented on a digital display device.
  • A pixel is also known as a picture element.
  • A pixel is represented by a dot or square on a computer monitor display screen. 
  • Pixels are combined to form a complete image, video, text or any visible thing on a computer display.


  • The physical size of a pixel depends on how we have set the resolution of the display screen.


 What is Sub-Pixel:
  • Each pixel actually composed of three dots a Red, Green, Blue. The three dots must converge at the same point for the image to be sharp, if not the image will be fuzzy.
  • Each pixel can have typically three dimensions of variability as Red, Green, Blue. Depending on the intensity of  RGB different colors are produced.
