Sometimes called "sharpness", it is an index reflecting the sharpness of image plane and edge.

If the definition is increased, the detail contrast on the image plane is also higher and looks clearer. For example, in the case of high definition, not only the wrinkles and spots on the face on the screen are clearer, but also the protrusions or depressions of facial muscles can be lifelike. On the other hand, dark lines or black lines in the vertical direction, or places where black-and-white images suddenly change, in the case of high sharpness, the edges of lines or black-and-white images suddenly change more sharply, and the overall picture appears clearer. Therefore, improving sharpness is actually improving clarity, which is the good side that people need.
