Output Devices

• Is any piece of hardware equipment used to


communicate the result of data carried out by an
information processing system such as
computer to the outside world.

• Translate the data processed by the computer


into a format that people can understand,
appreciate and work with (E.g. in video, text,
image)

• Less complex than input devices because they


only have to turn computer signals into an input.

• Examples of output devices:


-Speakers
-Headphones
-Monitor
-Projector
Speakers

• Speakers (or loudspeakers) are output devices


that produce sound.
• When connected to a computer system,
digitised sound stored on a file needs to be
converted into sound.
• The digital data is first passed through a digital
to analogue converter (DAC) where it is
changed into an electric current.

Uses of Speaker

presentation.
• Everyone in a conference, for example, can hear
the output from a computer.
• Very simple technology.

Disadvantages of speaker

• Speaker output can be disturbing to others in, for


example, an office environment.

Headphones
• Headphones are smaller versions of
loudspeakers, one that can be carried around
one’s neck all day and they cover both the ears
reaching across from around the head.
• They’re generally cushioned for comfort and helps
in noise cancellation.

electronic musical instrument, video game
console, mobile phone, portable media player,
radio or wireless connection like Bluetooth.

Advantages of headphone

audio output device.
• Noise-canceling headphone blocks all unwanted
noise and distractions to allow you to focus on the
tasks at hand.
• They’re lightweight and made for easy movement.
Disadvantage of headphone

• Listening through headphones at high volume can


result in lifelong loss hearing.
• Focusing and concentration powers can get weak.

• Listening with your earphone in your hand or


crossing the road while listening over the phone
can put your life at risk.

• To get high-quality sound, the required


headphones can be quite expensive.
Monitors

• Computer monitor works as an output device


that helps to provide output in the form of
graphically and text as well.

Uses of monitor

• It can be used to display a computer’s output.


• It can be text, graphics, photos, or video from
the internet.
• They are often found in offices where people
use them routinely to get work done.
Advantages of monitor

• It provides the proper lighting in the eyes.


• Improved Communication.
• Energy consumption.

Disadvantages of monitor

• Expensive.
• Less desk spaces.
• Can only built in fixed position.
Projector

• Projectors are display devices and optical


equipment you can use to project video, slides,
and images onto a screen, especially in a
classroom or office.

Advantages of projector

• Screen customization.
• Enables many people to see a presentation rather
than crowding around a small computer screen.
Disadvantages of projector
