Pixel Spacing Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Pixel Spacing (PS):

\[ PS = \frac{SL}{P} \]

Where:

\(PS\) is the Pixel Spacing (inches/pixel)
\(SL\) is the total screen length (inches)
\(P\) is the total number of pixels

What is Pixel Spacing?

Pixel Spacing (PS) refers to the distance between the centers of two adjacent pixels on a screen. It is an important measure in display technology, affecting the clarity and sharpness of the image displayed. Smaller pixel spacing generally results in higher resolution and better image quality.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Screen Length (SL) = 20 inches
Total Number of Pixels (P) = 1920

Using the formula:

\[ PS = \frac{20}{1920} = 0.01042 \]

The Pixel Spacing is 0.01042 inches/pixel.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Screen Length (SL) = 30 inches
Total Number of Pixels (P) = 2560

Using the formula:

\[ PS = \frac{30}{2560} = 0.01172 \]

The Pixel Spacing is 0.01172 inches/pixel.
