• Prepare a summery sheet that shows the comparison of display device listed
below based on the following comparison criteria:-
• A Raster Scan Display is based on intensity control of pixels in the form of a rectangular box
called Raster on the screen. Information of on and off pixels is stored in refresh buffer or
Frame buffer. Televisions in our house are based on Raster Scan Method. The raster scan
system can store information of each pixel position, so it is suitable for realistic display of
objects. Raster Scan provides a refresh rate of 60 to 80 frames per second.
• Frame Buffer is also known as Raster or bit map. In Frame Buffer the positions are called
picture elements or pixels. Beam refreshing is of two types. First is horizontal retracing and
second is vertical retracing. When the beam starts from the top left corner and reaches the
bottom right scale, it will again return to the top left side called at vertical retrace.
• There are so many types of raster display system those are listed below in the next slide by
the given comparesion mechanism we will see one by one in detail.
1.Cathode Ray Tube(CRT) Display
A. Maximum size for direct display is limited to about 40 inch due to practical
and manufacturing restrictions.
B. They have a big back and take up space on desk (i.e they are heavy to pick up
and carry around)
C. It can easily increase the monitor's brightness by reflecting the light.
D. Higher resolution.
E. The contrast feature of the cathode ray tube monitor are controlled highly
excellent(i,.e high contrast ratio (over 15,000:1))
F. High power consumption.
G. long life ( a few several decades ,depending on use).
H. CRT are less fit to be installed in out door location .although many were
Even CRTs are still popular in the printing and broadcasting industries as well
as in the professional video ,photograph ,and graphics fields due to their
greater cobr fidelity .contrast and better viewing from off-axis (wider viewing
angle ).CRTs also still find adherents in video gaming because of their higher
resolution per initial cost ,f ast response time ,and multiple rative resolutions.
2.Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
a) Take up about 40% less desk space. LCDs are thin and compact.
c) Produces very bright images due to high peak intensity. Very suitable for
environments that are brightly lit.
d) Works best at the native resolution. The native resolution cannot be changed.
All other resolutions require adjusting procedures which can cause considerable
deterioration of the image.
e) The aspect ratio and resolution are fixed (i.e. Lower contrast than CRTs due to
a poor black-level.) ranges between 1000:1 to 4000:1 even more than this.
f) Energy efficient. Consume less than 1/3 the power of a comparable CRT.
Consume less electricity than a CRT and produce little heat.
