Monitor

The keyboard is the most commonly used input device and the monitor is the most commonly used output device
on most personal computer systems. As you use your computer-whether you are typing a letter, copying files, or
surfing the Internet-hardly a moment goes by when you are not looking at your monitor.
All monitors can be categorized by the way they display colors:
» Monochrome monitors display only one color (such as green, amber, or white) against a contrasting back-
ground, which is usually black. These monitors are used for text-only displays where the user does not need to
see color graphics.
» Grayscale monitors display varying intensities of gray (from a very light gray to black) against a white or off-
white background and are essentially a type of monochrome monitor. Grayscale flat-panel displays are used in
low-end portable systems-especially handheld com-puters-to keep costs down.
» Color monitors can display between 16 colors and 16 million colors. Today, most new monitors display in
color. Many color monitors can be set to work in monochrome or grayscale mode.

Cathode Ray Tube

Near the back of a monitor's housing is an electron gun. The gun shoots a beam of electrons
through a magnetic coil (sometimes called a yoke), which aims the beam at the front of the
monitor. The back of the monitor's screen is coated with phosphors, chemicals that glow when
they are struck by the electron beam. The screen's phosphor coating is organized into a grid of
dots. The smallest number of phosphor dots that the gun can focus on is called a pixel, a
contraction of the term picture element. Each pixel has a unique address, which the computer
uses to locate the pixel and control its appearance. Some electron guns can focus on pixels as
small as a single phosphor dot.
Actually, the electron gun does not just focus on a spot and shoot electrons at it. It systematically
aims at every pixel on the screen, starting at the top left corner and scanning to the right edge.
Then it drops down a tiny distance and scans another line.
Like human eyes reading the letters on a page, the electron beam follows each line of pixels
across the screen until it reaches the bottom of the screen. Then it starts over. As the electron gun
scans, the circuitry driving the monitor adjusts the intensity of each beam. In a monochrome
monitor, the beam's intensity determines whether a pixel is on (white) or off (black). In the case
of a grayscale monitor, the beam's intensity determines how brightly each pixel glows.

Flat Panel Display

Although flat-panel monitors have been used primarily on portable computers, a new generation of
large, high-resolution, flat-panel displays is gaining popularity among users of desktop systems. These
new monitors provide the same viewable area as CRT monitors, but they take up less desk space and
run cooler than traditional CRT monitors. There are several types of flat-panel monitors, but the most
common is the liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor. The LCD monitor creates images with a special
kind of liquid crystal that is normally transparent but becomes opaque when charged with electricity.

Advanced Display Technology

OLED:
OLEDs stand for Organic Light-Emitting Diode. OLED use organic compounds that emit
light when an electric current is applied. Each pixel is self-illuminating, meaning there's no
need for a backlight.
Applications: Commonly used in high-end TVs, smartphones, and wearables
QLED:
QLED stand for Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diode.QLEDs are essentially LED TVs with an
added layer of quantum dots. These quantum dots enhance the brightness and color accuracy
by converting the backlight into pure monochromatic light
MicroLED:
MicroLEDs are tiny LEDs that form individual pixels, similar to OLEDs, but they use
inorganic materials. Each pixel is self-emissive, eliminating the need for a backlight.
