LED Pixels

Some LED display manufacturers use "virtual pixel" technology. They claim that "virtual pixel" doubles the actual resolution of screen, i.e., a screen with a physical (true) resolution of 320x240 pixels in reality is expressed as the "virtual" resolution of 640x480. In an attempt to smooth out digital image of a virtual pixel display, each pixel of the image corresponds not to an actual module pixel but to a light/data source that is part of the group of pixels that form the "Virtual pixel". This mode of pixel sharing means one pixel contains the "virtual group"* of pixels image information. *(The 2 or 4 pixels that are combined to form the "virtual" effect). Virtual pixels are also known as "pixel sharing" or "dynamic pixels". Some claim that with "virtual pixels" the displayed image has twice the resolution as the "physical" resolution. However, this is not true. One module pixel cannot memorize or hold and display the majority of information from the initial pixel. The majority of the original information vanishes. This results in distortion of important details and other elements such as colors that are part of the initial image.

Virtual Pixel	True Pixel
Uses pixel sharing to achieve "virtual" pitch. Attempts to achieve equal resolution using 1/4 the diodes of a true pixel display.	Each pixel is distinct, using individual groups of LEDs. Display has 4x the diode density of a virtual pitch, resulting in 4x brightness, greater color depth and better color accuracy.
