A pixel is the smallest visual element on a video display screen (i.e. computer terminal or television set). The word "pixel" comes from "pix" (for picture) plus "el" (for element). A video screen contains thousands of pixels, each of which is made up of one or more dots, or a cluster of dots. You may also want to hear that a pixel is made of red, green and blue sub pixels. A signal is also nearby telling the pixel what to do, and also 3 sub pixels make a pixel. Pixels create colors you see every day. The shape of a pixel is rectangle.

∙ 12y agoThe term pixel is a short form of picture element (pix el) meaning the smallest part of an image that can be defined. For a CRT, TV, or monitor, the pixel is a single point of color combination (Red Green Blue) that can be separately determined and changed. Similarly, for bitmap images, a pixel can be made any color, but only one color per pixel.
The concentration of separate pixels may be known as the resolution of a monitor or photo, or the definitionof an image.
