Display Devices

Display devices are output devices that represent information visually. Common display devices include CRT, LCD, LED, plasma, and 3D displays. CRT uses an electron gun to produce images on a phosphor-coated screen but is bulky. LCD and LED displays are flat panel displays that are more compact. LCD uses liquid crystals to block or allow light while LED produces its own light. Plasma displays use gas cells filled with neon that glow when charged. 3D displays use optics to direct separate images to each eye for a 3D effect. Newer display technologies aim to provide higher quality images while reducing size, weight, and power consumption.

DISPLAY DEVICES

DISPLAY DEVICES IN COMPUTER GRAPHICS :

• The display device is an output device used to represent the information in


the form of images (visual form). Display systems are mostly called a video
monitor or Video display unit (VDU).
• Display devices are designed to model, display, view, or display information.
The purpose of display technology is to simplify information sharing.
• Today, the demand for high-quality displays is increasing.
THERE ARE SOME DISPLAY DEVICES GIVEN BELOW:

• Cathode-Ray Tube(CRT)
• Color CRT Monitor
• Liquid crystal display(LCD)
• Light Emitting Diode(LED)
• Plasma Display
• 3D Display
CATHODE-RAY TUBE (CRT)

Here, CRT stands for Cathode ray tube. It is a technology which is used in traditional
computer monitor and television.
Cathode ray tube is a particular type of vacuum tube that displays images when an electron
beam collides on the radiant surface.

Component of CRT:
Electron Gun: The electron gun is made up of several elements, mainly a heating filament
(heater) and a cathode.
The electron gun is a source of electrons focused on a narrow beam facing the CRT.
V

Focusing & Accelerating Anodes: These anodes are used to produce a narrow and sharply focused beam
of electrons.
Horizontal & Vertical Deflection Plates: These plates are used to guide the path of the electron the beam.
The plates produce an electromagnetic field that bends the electron beam through the area as it travels.
Phosphorus-coated Screen: The phosphorus coated screen is used to produce bright spots when the high-
velocity electron beam hits it.
THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO REPRESENT AN OBJECT ON THE
SCREEN:

• Raster Scan: It is a scanning technique in which the electron beam moves along the screen.
It moves from top to bottom, covering one line at a time.
• A raster scan is based on pixel intensity control display as a rectangular box on the screen
called a raster.
• Picture description is stored in the memory area called as Refresh buffer, or Frame Buffer.
• Frame buffer is also known as Raster or Bitmap. Raster scan provides the refresh rate of 60
to 80 frames per second.
• For Example: Television
Advantages:
• Real image
• Many colors to be produced
• Dark scenes can be pictured
 
Disadvantages:
• Less resolution
• Display picture line by line
• More costly
COLOR CRT MONITOR

It is similar to a CRT monitor.


The basic idea behind the color CRT monitor is to combine three basic
colors- Red, Green, and Blue. By using these three colors, we can produce
millions of different colors.
Shadow–Mask Method: It is used with a raster scan monitor for displaying
pictures. It has more range of color than the beam penetration method. It is
used in television sets and monitors.
STRUCTURE:
It has three phosphorus color dots at each position of the pixel.
• First Dot: Red color
• Second Dot: Green color
• Third Dot: Blue color
It has three different guns. Each for one color.
It has a metal screen or plate just before the phosphorus screen, named
“Shadow-Mask.”
It also has a shadow grid just behind the phosphorus coated screen with tiny
holes in a triangular shape
WORKING:
A Shadow Mask is a metal plate with tiny holes present inside a color monitor.
A Shadow Mask directs the beam by consuming the electrons so that the beam
hits only the desired point and displays a resulting picture.
It has three different guns. These guns direct their beams to shadow mask,
which allows them to pass. It is a task of a shadow mask to direct the beam on
its particular dot on the screen and produce a picture on the screen.
A Shadow Mask can display a wider range of pictures than beam penetration.
Advantages:
• Display a wider range picture.
• Display realistic images.
• In-line arrangement of RGB color.

Disadvantages:
• Difficult to cover all three beams on the same hole.
• Poor Resolution.
FLAT PANEL DISPLAY:
The Flat-Panel display refers to a class of video devices that have reduced volume, weight and
power requirement compare to CRT.
Example: Small T.V. monitor, calculator, pocket video games, laptop computers, an
advertisement board in elevator.
 1. Emissive Display: The emissive displays are devices that convert electrical energy into light.
Examples are Plasma Panel, thin film electroluminescent display and LED (Light Emitting
Diodes).
).

2. Non-Emissive Display: The Non-Emissive displays use optical effects to convert sunlight or
light from some other source into graphics patterns. Examples are LCD (Liquid Crystal Device).
LCD
Stands for "Liquid Crystal Display." LCD is a flat panel display technology commonly
used in TVs and computer monitors. It is also used in screens for mobile devices, such as
laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

LCD displays don't just look different than bulky CRT monitors, the way they operate is
significantly different as well. Instead of firing electrons at a glass screen, an LCD has
backlight that provides light to individual pixels arranged in a rectangular grid. Each pixel
has a red, green, and blue RGB sub-pixel that can be turned on or off. When all of a pixel's
sub-pixels are turned off, it appears black. When all the sub-pixels are turned on 100%, it
appears white. By adjusting the individual levels of red, green, and blue light, millions of
color combinations are possible.
Advantage:
• Low power consumption.
• Small Size
• Low Cost
Disadvantage:
• LCDs are temperature-dependent (0-70°C)
• LCDs do not emit light; as a result, the image has very little contrast.
• LCDs have no color capability.
• The resolution is not as good as that of a CRT.
LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED):

LED is a device which emits when current passes through it. It is a


semiconductor device.
The size of the LED is small, so we can easily make any display unit by
arranging a large number of LEDs.
LED consumes more power compared to LCD. LED is used on TV,
smartphones, motor vehicles, traffic light, etc.
LEDs are powerful in structure, so they are capable of withstanding
mechanical pressure. LED also works at high temperatures.
Advantages:
• The Intensity of light can be controlled.
• Low operational Voltage.
• Capable of handling the high temperature.
 
Disadvantages:
• More Power Consuming than LCD.
PLASMA DISPLAY
Plasma-Panels are also called as Gas-Discharge Display. It consists of an array of
small lights. Lights are fluorescent in nature.

Components of Plasma Display:


1.Cathode
2.Anode
3.Fluorescent cells
4.Glass Plates
• The gas will slow when there is a significant voltage difference between
horizontal and vertical wires.
• The voltage level is kept between 90 volts to 120 volts.
• Erasing is done by reducing the voltage to 90 volts.
• Each cell of plasma has two states, so cell is said to be stable.
• Displayable point in plasma panel is made by the crossing of the horizontal
and vertical grid.
• The resolution of the plasma panel can be up to 512 * 512 pixels.
Figure shows the state of cell in plasma panel display:
Advantage:
• Large screen size is also possible.
• Less Volume
• Less weight
• Slim
 

Disadvantage:
• Poor Resolution
• Wiring requirement anode and the cathode is complex.
• Its addressing is also complex.
• It consumes more electricity than LCD.
3D DISPLAY:

It is also called auto-stereoscopy.


A stereo display is a display device capable of conveying depth perception to
the viewer.
As we know the cinematic experience radically changed from black and white
to colour and now to 3D. Now bulky TVs have been changed to slim LCD and
LEDs and equipped with 3d technology.
Using optics to direct pixel to each eye.
APPLICATIONS:

• Medical and scientific visualization .


• 3d computer graphics
• 3d visualization
• Entertainment
• Flight simulation and training
Advantage:
• Impressive Picture Quality
• High Definition picture and videos

 
Disadvantage:
• Expensive
• Binocular fusion
