MONITOR

Computer monitor
A 19-inch, 16:10 widescreen LCD monitor.
A monitor or display (also called screen or visual display unit) is an electronic visual
display for computers. The monitor comprises the display device, circuitry, and an enclosure.
The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display
(TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors use a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as
the screen size.

2. Electron beams
3. Focusing coils
4. Deflection coils
5. Anode connection
6. Mask for separating beams for red, green, and blue part of displayed image
7. Phosphor layer with red, green, and blue zones
8. Close-up of the phosphor-coated inner side of the screen
SUCCESSThe cathode ray tube (CRT) is a vacuum tube containing an electron gun (a
source of electrons or electron emitter) and a fluorescent screen used to view images. It has a
means to accelerate and deflect the electron beam onto the fluorescent screen to create the
images. The image may represent electrical waveforms (oscilloscope), pictures (television,
computer monitor), radar targets and others. CRTs have also been used as memory devices,
in which case the visible light emitted from the fluoresecent material (if any) is not intended
to have significant meaning to a visual observer (though the visible pattern on the tube face
may cryptically represent the stored data).
The CRT uses an evacuated glass envelope which is large, deep (i.e. long from front screen
face to rear end), fairly heavy, and relatively fragile. As a matter of safety, the face is
typically made of thick lead glass so as to be highly shatter-resistant and to block most X-ray
emissions, particularly if the CRT is used in a consumer product.
CRTs have largely been superseded by more modern display technologies such as LCD,
plasma display, and OLED, which as of 2012 offer lower manufacturing and distribution
costs.

TFT LCD (Thin film transistor liquid crystal display) is a variant of liquid crystal display
(LCD) which uses thin-film transistor (TFT) technology to improve image qualities such as
addressability and contrast. TFT LCD is an active matrix LCD, in contrast to passive matrix
LCDs or simple, direct-driven LCDs with a few segments.
Liquid crystal displays as used in calculators and devices have direct driven image elements – a
voltage can be applied across one segment without interfering with other segments of the display.
This is impractical for a large display with a large number of picture elements (pixels), since it would
require millions of connections – top and bottom connections for each one of the three colors (red,
green and blue) of every pixel. To avoid this issue, the pixels are addressed in rows and columns,
reducing the connection count from millions to thousands. The column and row wires attach to
transistor switches, one for each pixel. The one-way current passing characteristic of the transistor
prevents the charge applied to the pixel from draining between refreshes to the display image.
3-High-definition television
High-definition television (HDTV) provides a resolution that is substantially higher than
that of standard-definition television.
HDTV may be transmitted in various formats.

4-E-book reader
An e-book reader, also called an e-book device or e-reader, is a mobile electronic device
that is designed primarily for the purpose of reading digital e-books and periodicals.
5-Overhead projector
An overhead projector typically consists of a large box containing a very bright lamp and a fan to
cool it. On top of the box is a large fresnel lens that collimates the light. Above the box, typically on a
long arm, is a mirror and lens that focusses and redirects the light forward instead of up.
