Bigger image sensors are better because they allow the pixels embedded in their surface to be larger.
Here, the pixels shrank from 4mm2 to just 1mm2 -- roughly the same size as the tiny acoustic perforations.

However, even on screen that large, the 720p picture was considered pleasing due to how close the pixels are.
In much the same way, the goal of the Pixel is to make the pixels disappear, giving people the best web experience.
The combat is eye candy, the pixels are perfect, and the game evokes a sense of nostalgia that even a franchise neophyte can enjoy.

Instead of displaying the pixels and textures in a game, 3D machine vision is pulling in those polygons and textures into the compute device.
There's also digital zoom functionality, which is likely to be more appropriate for the VG900, since that model's full-frame sensor has the pixels to spare.

And we can see that pushing four times the pixels needs four times the GPU power to keep performance similar to the non-Retina equivalent, especially in games.

The pixels in an image can thus be processed simultaneously.
The company squeezed four times the pixels into the same physical space as on the iPad 2 and claims the new iPad's screen has a million more pixels than an HDTV.

But it's hard to do that on a large screen because larger masks tend to sag in the middle and the materials then overlap on the substrate, making a mess of the pixels.
Basically, it all comes down to the pixels.

It also means that Sony can reduce the size of the bezel and frame around the screen, giving more emphasis to the pixels and drawing your eye away from the physical size of the phone.
FORBES: Sony's Xperia T Is A Muscular Monster Of A Smartphone
After working for months on smaller (only 85- or 103-inch) 4K plasmas, the two companies had to come up with an entirely new drive method for the display that works by scanning the pixels vertically to achieve a uniform picture quality.

One way this can be successfully accomplished is by "multiplexing" the electrodes normally used to relay touch input -- that is, using the same electrodes to handle the signals for both touch control and the pixels of the LCD, according to a 2010 IHS report on touch-screen displays.
In LCDs silane gas breaks down into a film of silicon that forms the transistors that stimulate the pixels in the screen. (Flat-panel screens are essentially large semiconductor devices that sit on pieces of glass rather than on silicon wafers.) Another gas, nitrogen trifluoride, cleans the chambers in which both chips and LCDs are made.
Rather than remembering each pixel value as an address and three values for red, green, and blue (RGB), a program can check and discover that a whole region of the screen is the same color for the moment and simply say, for all the pixels between these two addresses, set them to these three values.

HDTVs tend to get blurry from up close at around 50 inches, but with UHD having four times the number of pixels the image on much larger panels stays sharp from any distance.

With the larger screen, there are now five rows of apps instead of the traditional four, and users can see the 326 pixels per inch, giving the iPhone 5 a 1136 x 640 resolution.
ILA, in which the signal is converted to analogue form, is smoother and better because it makes no assumptions about the number of pixels in the original digital signal.
Since then, Kuchera-Morin has added the number of pixels in the mix, for sharper visualization, and brought in colleagues from other data-rich fields to try and create new understanding of what they are doing.
TourWrist CEO Charles Armstrong is so confident that Apple will be doubling the number of pixels in the height and width of its next tablet, his team is already preparing a new version of its app.
He then denied he had any intention of leaving and quite possibly by the time these pixels appear on the web he will have resigned, will not have, have and then come back again or any other combination of possible events.
It's hard to say what the culprit is, but if we had to guess, we'd point our finger at Sense and the amount of pixels rendered on the Vivid's qHD screen versus the Skyrocket's WVGA. The Vivid's consistent loss to Moto's similarly clocked beastie and its TI OMAP 4430 processor also caught us off guard.
And the iPad mini has the same number of pixels as the iPad 2.
Computer analysis is less subjective, and measures the characteristics of individual pixels (the dots from which images are built up) taken from scanned samples of writing.
