Who doesn\u2019t\nlove to watch cartoons after school? Or movies with your family? Televisions\nallow us to get away from reality and imagine a new world or learn about a new\nperson. Whether you like fast-paced, adventure movies or an animated movie\nfilled with fun, silly characters, we can thank television for providing a\nlarge variety of entertainment. So, how does a television work? Let\u2019s find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When you are watching your favorite\ncartoon, let\u2019s say SpongeBob SquarePants\u2122, you are really seeing thousands of\npictures that are created one after another. When these pictures are shown\nquickly and in order, it looks like the picture is moving! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
What Makes a Picture: <\/em><\/strong>The image that you see when you turn on the TV is made of small grid dots, called pixels. Read on to learn more about how pixels create TV images.<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nature videos, news reports, and your favorite actors are all\nrecorded using a similar idea. Many pictures are taken quickly in a row in a\nvideo camera. Today, video cameras save this information digitally, meaning it\nis saved on computer chips. The video camera captures the light on a sensor\nwhich changes the information from the light into electronic signals that can\nbe saved on storage device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Electricity can do many things! <\/strong>Power & information!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Television networks use this stored information to send shows and movies\nto your TV. The network sends an electronic signal with the picture and audio\ninformation all the time. When you turn your TV on, your TV translates the\nelectronic signal so it can be shown on your TV\u2019s display and the audio is made\nby your TV\u2019s speakers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will remember that today\u2019s displays are made of small (grid) dots called\npixels. Light is sent to each pixel, either through a backlight (LCDs!) or\nlight emitting diodes (LEDs!). These tiny colors are designed to make the\nimages and movements that our brains understand.
