I don’t know much about this but the basic idea is that the screen is made up of thousands of tiny little crystals with light devices behind them (this is known as an LCD – liquid crystal display). By changing the colour and brightness of the light that is sent through the crystal different colours can be formed. The devices would each form a single dot (a pixel) on the screen. Lots of these pixels are then used to create a picture.
A screen with a higher resolution (more pixels) can produce a more detailed image – but it requires more devices to create the light pixels. Hence higher resolution screens are more expensive.
