1. The resolution of a digital camera is measured in megapixels, or picture elements . 2. Digital images are measured in mega pixels, a million picture elements . 3. In some instances superior picture elements are also now available. 4. Pixels, or picture elements , are the dots of light on a television or monitor. 5. Roughly comparable to grain in digital imaging are " pixels " ( picture elements ). 6. PIXEL : Abbreviation for " picture element ." 7. The screen supports a resolution of 1, 024-by-768 picture elements , so there's plenty of real estate. 8. But instead of controlling each picture element with a transistor, Sony controls the pixels with plasma. 9. This naturally contains fewer picture elements and thus requires less processing power from the coding device. 10. Both types of imaging chips have an array of cells representing the individual picture elements , or pixels.
