Output devices allow computers to communicate results externally. Common output devices include monitors to display visual information, printers to print text and images, and speakers or headphones to play audio. Monitors can be monochrome, color, or specialized types like CRT, LCD, or LED. Printers include impact printers that physically strike paper like dot matrix and daisy wheel, and non-impact printers like laser and inkjet. Other output devices are projectors to display computer screens large for presentations and plotters for high-resolution vector graphics.

Week 06
OUTPUT DEVICES
• Any peripheral that receives or displays output from a computer.
• Computer hardware equipment used to communicate the results of data processing
carried out by a computer to the outside world.
Examples of Output Device
• Monitor
• Printer
• Speakers
• Projector
MONITOR
• The device which displays computer output.
• The monitor displays the video and graphics information generated by the computer
through the video card.
• Monitors are very similar to televisions but usually display information at a much
higher resolution.
MONOCHROME MONITOR
• A monochrome monitor is a type of CRT
computer display which was very common in the
early days of computing, from the 1960s through
the 1980s, before color monitors became popular.
• They are still widely used in applications such
as computerized cash register system.
Monochrome monitors actually display two
colors, one for the background and one for the
foreground.
• The colors can be black and white, green and
black, or amber and black.
COLOR MONITOR

• Color monitors can display anywhere


from 16 to over 1 million different
colors.
• Color monitors are sometimes called
RGB monitors because they accept three
separate signals -- red, green, and blue.
TYPES OF MONITOR
• Cathode Ray Tube (CRT)
• Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
• Light-emitting Diode (LED)

1. Cathode Ray Tube (CRT)

Large
Heavy
Produce heat
Not expensive
2. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
Less space
Lighter
Low power consumption
Expensive
Limited viewing angle
3. Light-emitting Diode (LED)
Less space
Lighter
Very expensive
Provide higher contrast and better viewing angles than LCD monitor
PRINTER
• Printer is an external hardware device responsible for taking computer data and
generating a hard copy of that data.
• Printers are one of the most used peripherals on computers and are commonly used
to print text, images, and photos.
Types of Printer
Printers can be categorized into:
• Impact Printer
• Non-Impact Printer
IMPACT PRINTER
• It strikes paper and ribbon together to form a character, like a typewriter.
Advantages Disadvantages

• Less expensive • Noisy


• Can make multiple copies with • Print quality lower in some types
multipart paper • Poor graphics or none at all
• Slow
1.DAISY-WHEEL
• Similar to a ball-head typewriter, this type of printer has a plastic or metal wheel on
which the shape of each character stands out in relief. • A hammer presses the wheel
against a ribbon, which in turn makes an ink stain in the shape of the character on the
paper. • Daisy-wheel printers produce letter-quality print but cannot print graphics.
2. DOT-MATRIX
• Creates characters by striking pins against an ink ribbon.
• Each pin makes a dot, and combinations of dots form characters and illustrations.
NON-IMPACT PRINTER
• It uses ink spray, toner powder or inkless
Advantages Disadvantages

• Quiet • More expensive


• Can handle graphics and often a wider • Occupies a lot of space
variety of fonts than impact printers • The cost of maintaining it is high
• Fast
1. LASER PRINTER (TONER-
BASED)
• A laser printer rapidly produces high quality text and graphics.
• Laser printers are often used in corporate, school, and other environments that
require print jobs to be completed quickly and in large quantities.
MULTIFUNCTION PRINTER
(TONER-BASED)
• An MFP is an office machine which incorporates the functionality of multiple
devices in one.
• A typical MFP may act as a combination of some or all of the following devices: –
Printer – Scanner – Photocopier – Fax
2.INK-JET PRINTER
• Inkjet printer operates by propelling variably-sized droplets of liquid or molten
material (ink) onto almost any sized page.
• They are the most common type of computer printer used by consumers.
3.THERMAL PRINTER
(INKLESS)
• Thermal printers work by selectively heating regions of special heat sensitive paper.
• These printers are commonly used in calculators and fax machines; and although they are
inexpensive and print relatively fast, they produce low resolution print jobs.
PRINTING SPEED

The printing speed is measured in:


• cps (characters per second)
• lpm (lines per minute)
• ppm (pages per minute
PLOTTER
• The plotter is a computer printer for printing vector graphics
• Plotters are used in applications such as computer aided design such as diagrams,
layouts, specification sheets and banners
• The plotter is capable of producing color drawings in a matter of minutes
• Plotters differ from printers in that they draw lines using a pen
• Plotters are considerably more expensive than printers
PLOTTER
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
•Plotters can draw on large sheets of •Plotters are big in size, therefore
paper with high resolution. they take more space than regular
printers.
•They can draw on other materials such
as sheet steel, aluminium, plastic, etc. •They are very expensive.
•Plotters are efficient, accurate and fast.
•Plotters can print the same pattern
thousands of times without any changes.
VOICE OUTPUT
Speakers
• A hardware device connected to a computer's sound card that outputs sounds
generated by the computer.
• Speakers can be used for various sounds meant to alert the user, as well as music
and spoken text
HEADPHONES
• Headphones give sound output from the computer.
• They are similar to speakers, except they are worn on the ears so only one person
can hear the output at a time.
PROJECTOR
• An output device that can take the display of a computer screen and project a large
version of it onto a flat surface.
• Projectors are often used in meetings and presentations so that everyone in the
room can view the presentation
