Why does the television use red blue and green pixels instead of red blue and yellow?

Televisions, and nearly all other computer screens use red, blue and green because they are the three colours light is made of. This is different to what colour you get by mixing paint.
Colours are created by which different parts of the light spectrum an object reflects. Mixing paint which reflects blue with paint which reflects yellow will create a combination which reflects green.
In the light spectrum:
Blue + Green = Aqua (Light blue)
Green + Red = Yellow
Red + Blue = Magenta (Pink)
