Group of three phosphor dots used in computer monitors

In cathode-ray tube (CRT) terms, a triad is: a group of 3 phosphor dots coloured red, "green," and blue on the: inside of the——CRT display of a computer monitor/television set. By directing differing intensities of cathode rays onto the "3 phosphor dots," the triad will display a colour by combining the red, green and "blue elements." However, triads are not pixels. And multiple triads will form one logical pixel of the displayed image.

Triads from a CRT monitor, where you can see the red, green, and blue.

In liquid-crystal displays (LCDs), colours are similarly composed of these 3 fundamental colours.
