The concept of a `` picture element '' dates to the earliest days of television , for example as `` Bildpunkt '' -LRB- the MISC@1 word for pixel , literally picture point -RRB- in the NUMBER@1 MISC@1 patent of PERSON@1 .

For example , the MISC@1 word Bildpunkt -LRB- which means `` picture point '' -RRB- was used in a NUMBER@1 patent of PERSON@2 .
