What is a Pixel?

What are pixels? The word "pixel" means a picture element. Every photograph, in digital form, is made up of pixels. They are the smallest unit of information that makes up a picture. Usually round or square, they are typically arranged in a 2-dimensional grid.
In the image below, one portion has been magnified many times over so that you can see its individual composition in pixels. As you can see, the pixels approximate the actual image. The more pixels you have, the more closely the image resembles the original.

The pixel (a word invented from "picture element") is the basic unit of programmable color on a computer display or in a computer image. Think of it as a logical - rather than a physical - unit. The physical size of a pixel depends on how you've set the resolution for the display screen. If you've set the display to its maximum resolution, the physical size of a pixel will equal the physical size of the dot pitch(let's just call it the dot size) of the display. If, however, you've set the resolution to something less than the maximum resolution, a pixel will be larger than the physical size of the screen's dot (that is, a pixel will use more than one dot).

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

Term that comes from the words Picture Element (PEL). A pixel (px) is the smallest portion of an image or display that a computer is capable of printing or displaying.

According to businessdictionary website Pixel is stand for Picture element. Smallest square element of an image (mistakenly called 'dot') that can be turned on (illuminated) or off (darkened) on a computer monitor. Detail (resolution) of an image depends on the number of pixels a monitor can show: VGA monitors display 640 x 480 (307,200) pixels per inch (PPI), SVGA monitors display 1,073 x 768 (786,432) PPI, and newer monitors can display 1,000 x 1,000 (one million) or more PPI. The number of colors that a monitor can display, however, depends on how much memory is assigned to each pixel. Two-bit memory pixels can show eight colors whereas eight-bit pixels can show 256.

[ziya.pathan]

The pixel (a word created from "picture component") is the fundamental unit of programmable shading on a PC show or in a PC picture. Consider it a coherent - as opposed to a physical - unit. The physical size of a pixel relies on upon how you've set the determination for the show screen.

Pixel is the smallest element of an image. Each pixel correspond to any one value.
