The pixels are based on the RGB (Red, Green and Blue) color mode, which is mostly used for graphic elements (not printed), this is how a group of pixels manage to form images, combine and create a new color. Why does a pixel burn? There are many reasons, for example: a manufacturing fault; devices with screens that have higher resolution, having more pixels there is more risk of a pixel dying; cell phones with very cheap prices, they have lower quality components, etc.
