What is text that appears on the screen?

Text that appears on the screen is words and pictures you can see and read, just like when you look at a book or a toy label.

Imagine your favorite storybook, the one with bright colors and fun characters. Now think of that book being inside a smartphone, tablet, or computer. When you press a button or touch the screen, the words and pictures from the story come out, just like magic, but without using the word "magic."

Inside the device, there are tiny parts called chips that work together to show what you want to see. They talk to each other through wires, sending messages faster than you can blink your eyes. These messages tell the screen what colors and letters to show, like a painter choosing which colors go on the canvas.

And just like how you choose different toys to play with, you can choose different stories or games to enjoy on the screen!
