Types of Monitors

There are several types of computer monitors that differ in their display technologies. Cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors use electron beams to illuminate pixels on the screen and allow for color display. Liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors are flat and commonly used in laptops, using either passive or active matrix technologies to control pixels. Plasma displays produce sharp monochrome images but use more power than LCDs. Surface-conducted electron-emitted display (SED) monitors provide high resolution images on large, flat panels while consuming less energy than CRTs. Resolution, size, power consumption, and display quality vary between the different monitor technologies.

Types of Monitors

Monitor (Display screen) A monitor can be considered as a window into the computer's memory. It allows data entry to be checked by echoing input characters on the screen. The disadvantage of monitors is that data on the screen is temporary (called softcopy) and they can hold only limited amount of data. Quality Factor - Resolution 2). LCD (Liquid 1).

pixel

For monochrome displays, only one bit of memory is required for each pixel. If it is set to 1, the pixel is illuminated. If the corresponding memory location contains 0, the pixel is left dark. The equivalent A binary screen representati representati on in RAM on

Cathode Ray Tube (CRT)

Technology: A beam of electrons lights up pixels/dots on the screen Colour is achieved by combining Red/Green/Blue (RGB) of different intensities. Size: Size is measured diagonally (corner to corner). Today monitors are available in sizes 14", 15", 17", 21". But the monitor size doesn't tell anything about the maximum viewable image size. The bezel in front of every monitor's CRT diminishes the viewable area by approximately an inch. When deciding on which monitor5/15/12 think to buy,

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)


These displays are known as being used in calculators and watches. They have an advantage of being cheap but a disadvantage is that it is very hard to see what they display in the dark. They are used in LCDs because they are flat. laptopscome as monochrome or colour. Monochrome LCD images usually appear as dark gray images on a grayish-white background. Color Liquid Crystal Displays use two basic techniques for producing color: passive matrix and active matrix. Passive matrix is the less expensive of the two technologies. It offers good contrast and viewing angle suitable for graphical user interfaces but its colors are not 5/15/12 particularly sharp and it has slow reaction times. This is

Plasma
Gas-plasma display is a type of flat display screen, called a flat-panel display, used in some portable computers. Images on gas-plasma displays generally appear as orange objects on a black background. Although gas-plasma displays produce very sharp monochrome images, they require much more power than the more common LCD displays

SED Monitors
SED is abbreviated form of Surface-conducted electron-emitted display. These are high resolution and flat penal display screens. Some of these display units are even more than 40 inches in diagonal measurements. These display units are composed from an electron-emitting array and layer of phosphorus. Array and layer of phosphorus are separated by thin sheet that allows air to pass. SED consumes less energy in comparison with CRT and it gives higher resolution picture.
