Can a Pixel size differ?

[crazy.wingman]

Hi,

Can a pixel size differ, or its an universal dimension?

All pixel in particular display size are same, but does different display size device has same size of pixel (universal pixel size)?

Please explain me if pixels are of contant size, then does mobile phone and LCD Tv pixels size will be the same.

Thanks

They differ.

Since you can have 10" tablet with full HD and a 55" inch with same resolution, the pixel size has to differ.

The pixel size of any LCD is defined by its native resolution. That is fixed in any given LCD. But, since there are many sizes and qualities of LCDs, there are therefore many native resolutions. Those would have different pixel sizes.

BTW, pixel is simply a technical contraction of "picture element."

Exactly. Look at Anandtech's cell phone and tablet reviews. Quite often they cover the different pixel technologies and post comparison images.
