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.
