The Pixel Museum

From 1-bit to billions — how screens learned to see, one tiny square at a time.

Resolution Through the Ages

The same scene rendered across four decades of display standards. Watch pixels multiply and colors bloom.

Zoom into the building blocks of color. Every white pixel is actually three tiny lights working together.

Zoom 1x

RGB Stripe (LCD)

Three tall rectangles per pixel. Most desktop monitors.

PenTile (OLED)

RGBG diamond layout. Saves blue subpixels.

Delta (CRT)

Triangular dot arrangement. Classic phosphor CRTs.

Scroll through 127 years of display technology — from the first CRT to self-emissive MicroLED.

When you don't have enough colors, you fake it. Fewer levels = more visible dithering patterns.

Gray levels 4

No dithering

Ordered (Bayer)
