The word pixel refers to the smallest unit of measurment when dealing with LED signs. One pixel will consist of a red, blue, green and blue LED.

Pixel pitch refers to the distance in millimeters, from the center of one pixel to the center of the adjacent pixel. In other words, the smaller the closer the pixels are to none another, the better the resolution is on your LED sign.
The pixel pitch is the most important aspect of creating quality advertisments that pertain videos and graphics. If you do not have enough pixels on your LED sign, the quality of your advertisments will not be as sharp.
For example, a 10mm LED sign will have a higher resolution than a 20mm LED sign because the distance between pixels are closer together.
