What is Pixel Pitch and Why Does It Matter?
What is pixel pitch? Pixel pitch describes the density of the pixels (LED clusters) on an LED display and correlates with resolution. Sometimes referred to as pitch or dot pitch, the pixel pitch is the distance in millimeters from the center of a pixel to the center of the adjacent pixel. Since pixel pitch indicates the amount of space between two pixels, a smaller pixel pitch means there is less empty space between pixels. This equates to higher pixel density and improved screen resolution. Key Takeaways: Pixel pitch refers to the density of pixels A smaller pixel pitch indicates higher pixel density and higher resolution Pixel pitch is important; More…
