Pixel Pitch

Pixel pitch denotes the centre-to-centre distance of adjacent pixels. Measured on the camera sensor (in micrometres) it influences light sensitivity and detail resolution; on output devices such as displays or LED walls it determines how finely image points are perceived from a given distance.

A smaller pixel pitch means more image points per area and therefore a finer rendering. In large-format printing, pixel pitch relates directly to the achievable resolution per area and the appropriate viewing distance.
