MONITOR

Monitor Display Technology: - Often referred to as a monitor when packaged in a separate


case, the display is the most-used output device on a computer. The display provides instant
feedback by showing you text and graphic images as you work or play.

Most desktop displays use liquid crystal display (LCD) or cathode ray tube (CRT) technology,
while nearly all portable computing devices such as laptops incorporate LCD technology.
Because of their slimmer design and lower energy consumption, monitors using LCD technology
(also called flat panel or flat screen displays) are replacing the venerable CRT on most desktop.

LCD
Stands for "Liquid Crystal Display." LCDs are super-thin displays that are used in laptop
computer screens and flat panel monitors. Smaller LCDs are used in handheld TVs, PDAs, and
portable video game devices. The image on an LCD screen is created by sandwiching an
electrically reactive substance between two electrodes. This color of this substance can be
changed by increasing or reducing the electrical current. Since LCD screens are based on the
principle of blocking light (rather than emitting it), they use up much less power than standard
CRT (Cathode-Ray Tube) monitors.

LED

Stands for "Light-Emitting Diode." An LED is an electronic device that emits light when an
electrical current is passed through it. Early LEDs produced only red light, but modern LEDs can
produce several different colors, including red, green, and blue (RGB) light. Recent advances in
LED technology have made it possible for LEDs to produce white light as well.
LEDs are commonly used for indicator lights (such as power on/off lights) on electronic devices.
They also have several other applications, including electronic signs, clock displays, and
flashlights. Since LEDs are energy efficient and have a long lifespan (often more than 100,000
hours), they have begun to replace traditional light bulbs in several areas.
