For other meanings see Triad (disambiguagion).

In computer terms, a triad is a group 3 phosphor dots on the inside of a computer monitor (CRT-type) of the colors Red, Green, and Blue. Triads are separated by dot pitch. By directing differing amounts of electrons on the 3 phosphor dots, the Triad will display a color by combining the Red Green and Blue elements.

On LCD displays colors are similarly composed of these three colors.
