1.

A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image or graphic that can be displayed
and represented on a digital display device.

2. Pixels are combined to form a complete image, video, text, or any visible thing
on a computer display.

3. A pixel is also known as a picture element (pix = picture, el = element).

4. A pixel is represented by a dot or square on a computer monitor display screen.

Pixels are the basic building blocks of a digital image or display and are created
using geometric coordinates.

5. Pixels are uniformly arranged in a two-dimensional grid, although some

different sampling patterns are available. For example, in LCD screens the three
main colors are sampled at different locations of a staggered grid, while digital
color cameras use a more regular grid.
In computer monitors, pixels are square-shaped, meaning that their vertical and
horizontal sampling pitches are equal.
Each pixel has a unique logical address, a size of eight bits or more and, in most high-
end display devices, the ability to project millions of different colors. The color of each
pixel is determined by the specific blending of the three main components of the RGB
color spectrum.
Depending on the color system, a different number of bytes can be allocated for
specifying each color component of the pixel. For example, in 8-bit color systems, only
one byte is allocated per pixel, limiting the palette to just 256 colors.

Resolution:-

Depending on the graphics card and display monitor, the quantity, size and color
combination of pixels varies and is measured in terms of the display resolution. For
example, a computer with a display resolution of 1280 x 768 will produce a
maximum of 98,3040 pixels on a display screen.

The pixel resolution spread also determines the quality of display; more pixels per
inch of monitor screen yields better image results. For example, a 2.1 megapixels
picture contains 2,073,600 pixels since it has a resolution of 1920 x 1080.
