Pixel density is the number of pixels in a certain amount of space and it describes the sharpness and clarity for different types of displays (i.e. computers, mobile devices, cameras, etc). Pixel density is often measured in Pixels per Inch (PPI) - the number of pixels present per inch on the display. A display's pixel density is different from its resolution, which is the total number of pixels across the display's width and height (Figure 1). <ref name=”1”>Nowell, P. (2016).
