There are no “dots” on a modern LCD display, there are pixels. In the old CRT days, when there was a physical mask between the electron guns and the phosphors on the screen, the size of the holes in the mask were referred to as “dot pitch”, with a smaller number such as .24 indicating a higher resolution display than a large number such as .38. But even then, it was a misnomer as the mask in Sony Trinitons had square, not round holes. Now there are no masks, no electron guns and no “dots” - there are pixels in an x-y display, and we refer to the resolution of the display as x pixels x y pixels. Some manufacturers do quote PPI, but never DPI as this is a printing, not a display term (as Paul has been saying for 4 pages).

There are 3 rectangular LCD elements for each of the pixel on an LCD screen. One LCD element can only have one color red, green or blue.
