"Dead pixels" are pretty much what they sound like. They are also called "stuck pixels" (some people use a distinction for on and off state pixels). Anyway, on an active matrix screen each pixel is represented by an individual digital switch (of varying intensity on greyscale and colour). If the switch is broken the the pixel does not work. Depending on where the pixel is it can be an annoyance or go unnoticed.
