 INTRODUCTION TO PIXEL

• In digital imaging, a pixel, pel, or picture element is the

smallest addressable element in a raster image.

•  the smallest addressable element in an all points

addressable display device.

• so it is the smallest controllable element of a picture

represented on the screen.

• The intensity of each pixel is variable.

 RGB (Red Green Blue)

• Each pixel on these displays is built by using three

small and very close RGB light sources

• It is used in cathode ray tubes, LCD displays, and LED

display such as television, computer monitor or large
screens.

• The main application of the RGB color model is

to display digital images.
 WHAT IS PPI?

• Pixels per inch (PPI) is the measure of resolution in a digital image or video display.

• Pixels per inch (PPI) is typically used to refer to the display resolution, or pixel
density, of a computer monitor or mobile display / screen.

• The greater the pixels per inch (PPI), the greater the detail in the image or display.

• In the early 2000s, the most common computer display resolution was 1024 x 768;
by 2019, 1920 x 1080 was common.
 RESOLUTION

• Resolution is the number of pixels on a display or

screen.

• A single pixel, the smallest unit to measure the

display resolutions, is a tiny dot on the screen
often no visible individually to the naken human
eye.

• The more the number of pixels, the higher the

sharpness of the display.

 FINDING PPI IN DISPLAYS

FOR INSTANCE :

MOBILE SCREEN

……………………………………………………………
The total no.of pixels present in our example screen is

………………………………………………………….
y

dis
= 1080 * 2220 = 23,97,600 (Pixels)

s
inc
he 2.3 million megapixel
6”

2220 (b)
(c)

By using Hypotenuse theorem,

We know that,
Hypotenuse = √ [Base2 + Perpendicular2]

..……………………………………

……………………………..…………..
1080 (a)
By appling this on a screen/display resolutions we can find PPI ~
 𝒄 𝟐=𝒂 𝟐+ 𝒃𝟐
𝒄=
  √ 𝒂𝟐 +𝒃𝟐
 

Now divide the result with screen size (inches) to get PPI ~

No.of pixels in “c”

=
Screen size(inches)

1 SQUARE INCH – 411 PPI

=  
6 “ (inches)

= 411.46081222882

~ 411 PPI
 PIXELS IN LED

• Pixels in LED displays are going to off electronically when

the black colour is going to appear.

• Due to this, the power consumption is less in LED displays.

• We do not have better visibility in sunlight / outdoors.

 PIXELS IN IPSLCD

• Pixels in IPS LCD will display black colour instead of

turning off.

• Due to this, the power consumption is high in IPSLCD

displays.

• We’ll have better visibility in sunlight / outdoors.

 APPLICATIONS

• To Display an Image.
• Pixels are color dots
• In true-color images, it uses three bytes to define a color.
 CONCLUSION

The drawback for pixel-based image processing routines is

the relatively unsophiscated use of spatial information.
Object based approaches may offer a better alternative for
many standard image processing tasks.
