    What is output

     The data that a computer send after


    processing it into useful information is called output. The
    output can be in two forms
     Soft copy output
     Hard copy output
    Cont…

    Soft copy output


     The output shown on display screen is called soft copy.
    Soft copy output is not tangible. It means that it cannot
    be touched.
    Hard Copy output
     The output printed on paper is called hard copy. The
    common devices to produce hard copy output are printers
    and plotters.
    Output device

     The hardware component that are used to receive


    information from the computer are called output devices.
     An output device is something you connect to a computer
    so that computer can send information to it.
     Output devices take information from the computer and
    convert it into a form that is understandable by the users.
    Cont…

     Some common output devices are


     – Display devices
     – Printers
     – Plotters
     – Data Projectors
     – Interactive Whiteboards
     – Audio Output Devices
    Display devices

     A display device is an output device that displays text,


    graphics and videos.
     The display for a desktop is typically a monitor that is a
    separate physical device.
     Mobile computers and devices normally integrate the
    display in their same physical case.
     Some display have touch screens.
     Display devices are available in a wide variety of sizes.
    Example
    Features of display device

     Display devices can be distinguished on the basis of


    following features
     Size and aspect ratio
     Color
     Resolution
     Refresh Rate
    Printer

     A printer is an output device that prints characters,


    symbols and graphics on paper.
     The printed output is called hard copy.
     Printers can be classified into two main categories
    1. – Impact printers
    2. – Non-impact printers
    impact printer

     An impact printer works like a type writer.


     It prints characters or images by striking a print hammer
    or set of pins against an inked ribbon.
     The ink is then pressed from the ribbon on the paper to
    produce the output.
    Cont…

     Impact printers are the oldest print


    technologies.
     They are used where low cost printing is required.
     Three most common forms of impact printers are dot
    matrix printers, daisy wheel printer and line printer.
    Non-impact printer

     A non-impact printer prints characters and graphics on


    paper without striking paper.
     The characters are printed on paper with different means
    such as laser.
     Some printers use spray ink while others use heat and
    pressure to create images.
     These printers are faster but costly than impact printers.
    Cont…

     Their quality is better than impact printers and they


    produce no noise during printing.
     Different kind of non-impact printers are laser printer,
    inkjet printer, thermal printer, photo printer and portable
    printer.
    Data projector

     Data projector is an output device that projects the


    output of computer screen onto a larger screen.
     The output projected by data projectors can be viewed by
    a number of people very clearly.
     Data projectors are used in classes to deliver lectures to
    many students.
     Two common types of data projectors are LCD Projector
    and DLP projector.
    Audio output devices

     Audio output devices are the components that produce


    voice, music and other audible sounds.
     The most commonly used audio output devices are
    speakers,
     headphones,
     headsets and
     earbuds.
    Speaker is the most common type of audio output device.
     It connects to a sound card in the system unit and
    provides audio output for computer games, music, video
    clips and other applications.
     The speakers for some desktop computers are built
    directly into the monitor while portable computers and
    mobile devices typically have speakers integrated into the
    device.
    Headphones are used instead of speakers so that other
    people are not disturbed at places such as public library.
    Headset is a headphone with a built-in microphone.
     It is often used when making telephone calls or
    participating in web conferencing using computer.
     Earbuds are often used with portable digital media
    players, handheld gaming devices and other mobile
    devices.
     Both headphones and earbuds usually include noise-
    cancelling technology to reduce interference of
    sounds from surrounding environment.
