| 316837 | 2005-01-23 01:59:00 | It depends. Lots of things have pixels. CCDs (the sensor in your digital camera, or webcam, or video camera. LCD/TFT displays. CRTs. FAX machines. Printers. On a "big" screen at a sports ground, the pixels are quite large. The famous NY Times screen used to have standard light bulbs as pixels. (Now it's lotsof LEDs). On an astronomical CCD, the pixels might be about 10 microns --- 1/100 th of a millimetre, On a CRT, .12 mm used to be considered quite good. |
