Demystifying Pixels: What Are They and How Do They Function?

A basic introduction to what a pixel is, and how it is used to display images, video & content on our screens.

This is literally just a professional video that doesn’t get much applause. Good work, man.

I appreciate how Lemme Lime just ignores the stupid and negative comments and helps the people that ask questions. Nice.

I just watched a 20 min video that did fudge all to explain it. You managed to concisely outline the basics in just under two minutes. Thank you.

[arme]

Really love your animations on your video! Looks awesome!

[AnilKumar-zoeu]

Thank you sir for your packaged information

Nice video! Very good, used commonly in my school.

This is a very good introduction but, It would be easier for people to understand if you were to show images of ancient pixels, from history. The Mycenaean stone mosaics were really some of our first digital images comprised out of pixels, although they didn't use the name "pixel" in those days. A modern digital image is a mosaic of squares, each of which can only be made out of a single color. The confusion is caused when we consider monitors, which use the three primary colors: Red, Green and Blue to mix a specific single color, so that this color can represent it's intended, unequivocally single pixel.

It's crazy how you are proving us that the pixels are a little different than a camera

That strengthens my inner intuition that the U.S and China have secret alliance, because of Pixels. And these are the Pixels application on the surface using LCD, LED, OLED using Red, Light Green, and Blue light wherein there's vertical lines square with forward and back reflectors and horizontal lines with forward and back reflectors projecting image and colour to screen wherein when image pass through those opposite lines with reflectors each when vertical line light gets into the reflector, only vertical with spirals image projected which gives me an idea if whether it recreated or reproduces DNA either artificially or actually. Because of that pixels surface effect those colour members of that have to be intact because if tech light will be used, then the red light is offed, if the ray light will be used, the blue light will be offed while the Light Green remains constant at the middle either each red or blue colour have different interpretation of the Light Green colour or in inverse interpretation, though each 3 colours types have to be present to use that pixels tech in screens as a dormant alliance or secret acting in opposition to each other as their alternative function by colors. Though the pixels used in neuromorphism in neural circuitry reading and non color image projection as deep other pixels application have the potential for blinds to see non colour images like that of bats, only for tweaking and modifications for other brain functional organs, wherein those neuromorphism pixels were used in neuroscience neuroimaging techniques connected to systems, though I'm not sure whose secret alliances are hiding within those things.

Underrated video tho. Concise and enlightening, thanks dude!

They form a pattern or order or sequence or arrangement. They together make sense.

[troymillerson]

Wow I'm blown away from how they work. ;D

[roberth]

I've heard of pixels described as a "vector space" that is giving a color representation of the RGBa data in a given area of an image. Do you know how an operating system like OSX El Capitan reads the pixel bits and translates them into the single pixel I see on my screen?

[ImaginaryAsh]

Thanks for the video. You say a pixel is made up of red green and blue. If a pixel needs to be completely red for example, will only one third of the pixel light up red or the whole pixel?

[ssajjad]

Very nicely explained about the basic of Pixel but improve sound level and quality

[RealityIsTheNow]

Did you know there is a big obnoxious ad link about mercury over a huge chunk of your video, and no way to close it? Too bad. Otherwise a great video.

Now where does the number of pixels come? For example a 1080p screen. Are there 1920*1080 pixels one the display or is it a software based number. Are pixels something you can hold in your hands when you break a tv screen or is it just light? Or am I on the completely wrong track

[yamatanoorochi]

It's kind of impressing how fast they can work, in this case.
But how are they able to work that way?
What exactly gives them the message to achieve the requested action (changing color variations) in such a short time?
Is there any place where they show in details how they work?

[sairaahmed]

dis just helped for my hw my teacher sent me de link for dis video
cuz de corona time

[shawnaryan]

Pixel colors are so much better than the ones printed in magazines
