LECTURE-11 OUTPUT DEVICES

SUPERVISED BY
FARHAD AHMED
LECTURER OF ICT
CONTENTS
• Input Devices:

Keyboards, Pointing Devices, Scanner ( Including OCR and OMR), Barcode

Scanner, Webcam, Microphone, Touch Screen, Biometric Scanner, Card Readers,

Sensors

• Output Devices:

• Monitor, Printer, Plotter, Data Projector, Speaker, Control Device

• Usage, Advantages and Disadvantages of each Input and Output

Devices.
Monitor
• Monitors are also known as visual display unit (VDUs). They come in

different styles and quality levels. Screen color quality, resolution and clarity

are just some of the features that affect how desirable a particular monitor

is to you.

• Picture elements: Although the picture on a computer monitor may look

sharp and clear, it is made up of many illuminated dots known as picture

elements or pixels. The dots are usually so tiny that you would not normally

notice them individually – you just see the whole picture. If you could

actually see the picture elements, the picture would look jagged.
Printer
• There are three types of standard printer:

• Dot Matrix: These printers are sometimes called Impact Printers. This is because the
print is made by hitting or impacting the paper through a ribbon of ink, and this
process is very noisy. The paper often has a number Of carbon copy layers so it make
several copies of the same document as it prints it.

• Inkjet Printer: These printers use cartridges containing different colored ink. Black ink
is held in a one cartridge, while the color cartridge is often split into three colors: cyan,
magenta and yellow. Tiny dots of these is often are sprayed onto the paper to form
images or text.

• Laser printer: These printers contain a rotating cylinder or drum that holds an electric
charge. A laser is used to discharge certain points on the drum and draw an image.
Electricity charged toner is attracted to those points on the drum and is heated onto
paper that is passed over the drum
3D Printer
• Three dimensional printers create real-life versions of

digital models. These printers work by adding layers of

heated material from the bottom of the model all the way

to the top. 3-D printed models take a long time to create.

• 3D printers are often used to create complex items,

sometimes with working parts.


Plotter
• A plotter draws lines on paper using differently colored pens. In a flatbed plotter, the
paper is held still while the pen moves. Other plotters have the pen moving from left to
right, while the paper goes forwards and backwards. Yet others use wires to draw
charged patterns on special paper, then fuse toner onto the electrically charged
patterns. An upright plotter can handle long sheets of paper, because of the way the
paper flows, and can produce long continuous lines. Plotters are frequently used in
computer-aided design.

• Advantage of plotters:

• Much larger and longer sheets are printed.

• Disadvantage of plotters:

• Printing is very slow

• Plotters are usually more expensive than printers.


Data Projector
• Data projectors are used for home entertainment, such as
watching television or playing games, and for giving
presentations in classrooms and business meetings. They
have following Features:
• Light Bulbs: These bulbs can have various brightness levels
(measured in lumens) and are expensive to replace.
• Resolution: Like monitors, they use different quality screens
• Zoom Functionality: The projected image can be made larger by
enlarging the image using either optical zoom or digital zoom
• Portability: Some smaller and lighter projectors are available, and
these are easier to move around.
Speaker
Speakers are output unit of sound. This is sued to play music, to make telephone calls using VoIP, to
listen to voicemail, to play video and DVDs for entertainment or education and to listen TV and
radio. Speakers are also needed for speech synthesis, where a computer reproduces human speech.
The voice need not be recording and could be computer – generated. For instance, you can have
text-reading program that takes a word-processed document in electronic form and reads it aloud.

• Advantages of speakers:

• They allow computer systems to be used for a wide range of multimedia applications.

• Interaction with a computer using voice recognition and speech synthesis is more natural
and intuitive than programming.’

• Disadvantages of speakers:

• Applications that use speakers can be difficult to operate for people who have impaired
hearing.

• Voice recognition systems can be difficult to set up and use.


Control Device
In control applications, computers make events happen using control devices or
actuators. Examples of actuators are valves, heaters, coolers and motors. These
can be powered by a range of different sources of energy, including electricity and
compressed air. Actuators also include devices such as buzzers and alarms, which
can warn us about various events: a burglar has entered through the window etc.

• Advantages of control devices:


• Actuators enable computer to perform physical tasks in the real world. For example,
computers can control a central heating system or a mechanical digger.

• Disadvantages of control devices:


• Actuators perform physical operations when instructed by a computer. This can be
dangerous for people if their presence is not known to computer.
