Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why we see a complete image when there are just thousands of little red, green, and blue dots on the screen is that our eyes and brain perceive the image as a whole, rather than focusing on individual dots. This is known as the "pixels illusion".

When the pixels are small enough and close enough together, our eyes see them as a continuous image rather than individual dots. The brain is able to process the information from the individual pixels and interprets it as a cohesive image. The human visual system is able to perceive the image as a whole because of the high resolution capability of our eyes and the ability of the brain to process visual information and make sense of it. Additionally, the sub-pixels are illuminated at different intensities and color shades, so the brain can perceive the image as a whole and not just individual dots.
