The dots of light on a computer screen are called pixels. The term "pixel" is short for "picture element" and refers to the smallest unit of a digital image or display. Each pixel is a tiny square that emits light and combines with other pixels to form the images and text that you see on the screen. The resolution of a screen is determined by the number of pixels it contains horizontally and vertically.
