From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   dot pitch
  
      The distance between a dot and the closest dot of
      the same colour (red, green or blue) on a color {CRT}.   Dot
      pitch is typically from 0.28 to 0.51 mm but large presentation
      monitors may go up to 1.0 mm.   The smaller the dot pitch, the
      crisper the image, 0.31 or less provides a sharp image,
      especially when displaying text.
  
      Dot pitch measurements between conventional tubes and {Sony}'s
      {Trinitron} tubes are roughly, but not exactly comparable.
      Sony's {CRT}s use vertical stripes, not dots, and its
      measurement is the distance between stripes, not the diagonal
      distance between dots.
