OUTPUT DEVICES
Following are few of the important output devices which are used in a computer.
 Monitors
 Projector
 Speaker
 Graphic Plotter

MONITORS :
Monitors, commonly called as Visual Display Unit (VDU), are the main output device of a computer. It forms images from
tiny dots, called pixels that are arranged in a rectangular form. The sharpness of the image depends upon the number of
pixels.
There are two kinds of viewing screen used for monitors.
 Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT)
 Flat- Panel Display
Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT) Monitor
The CRT display is made up of small picture elements called pixels. The smaller the pixels, the better the image clarity, or
resolution.
A finite number of characters can be displayed on a screen at once. The screen can be divided into a series of character
boxes - fixed location on the screen where a standard character can be placed.
Most screens are capable of displaying
80 characters of data horizontally
and 25 lines vertically. There are some
disadvantages of CRT:
 Large in Size

 High power consumption

Flat-Panel Display Monitor

The flat-panel display refers to a class of video devices that have reduced volume, weight and power requirement in
comparison to the CRT. You can hang them on walls. Current uses of flat-panel displays include calculators, video games,
monitors, laptop computer, graphics display.
The flat-panel display is divided into two categories:

 Emissive Displays - The emissive displays are devices that convert electrical energy
into light. Example are plasma panel and LED(Light-Emitting Diodes).
· Non-Emissive Displays - The Non-emissive displays use optical effects to convert
sunlight or light from some other source into graphics patterns. Example is
LCD(Liquid-Crystal Device)

PROJECTOR :
A projector or image projector is an optical device that projects an image (or moving
images) onto a surface, commonly a projection screen. The most common type of projector
used today is called a video projector.
Video projectors are digital replacements for earlier types of projectors such as slide
projectors and overhead projectors. These earlier types of projectors were mostly replaced
with digital video projectors throughout the 1990s and early 2000s (decade), but old
analog projectors are still used at some places.

SPEAKER:
Speaker are another types of output device, which allow you to listen to voice like music,
and conversation with people. A speaker, or speaker system converts an electrical signal
to sound.
• The term loudspeaker can refer to individual transducers (known as drivers), or to
complete systems consisting of a enclosure incorporating one or more drivers and
electrical filter components.
• Loudspeakers are the most variable elements in an audio system and are responsible
for the greatest degree of audible differences between sound systems.

PLOTTER
A plotter is a special kind of output device that , like a printer produces
image on paper but does so in a different way. Plotters are designed to
produce large drawings or image, such as construction plan for building or
blueprints for mechanical object. A plotter can be connected to the port
normally used by a printer.
There are two types of designs:
1) Flat bed: Plotters of small size to be kept on table with restriction of
paper size.
2) Drum: These plotter are of big size using rolls of paper of unlimited
length.
