  2. Liquid-crystal display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-crystal_display

    A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat-panel display or other electronically modulated optical device that uses the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly [1] but instead use a backlight or reflector to produce images in color or monochrome.

  3. Refresh rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refresh_rate

    Refresh rate. The refresh rate, also known as vertical refresh rate or vertical scan rate in reference to terminology originating with the cathode-ray tubes (CRTs), is the number of times per second that a raster-based display device displays a new image. This is independent from frame rate, which describes how many images are stored or ...

  4. Moiré pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moiré_pattern

    This function average, f 3, clearly lies in the range [0,1]. Since the periodic variation A is the average of and therefore close to k 1 and k 2 , the moiré effect is distinctively demonstrated by the sinusoidal envelope "beat" function cos( Bx ) , whose periodic variation is half the difference of the periodic variations k 1 and k 2 (and ...

  5. Flicker (screen) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_(screen)

    The flicker of a CRT monitor can cause various symptoms in those sensitive to it such as eye strain, headaches [9] in migraine sufferers, and seizures in epileptics. [10]As the flicker is most clearly seen at the edge of our vision there is no obvious risk in using a CRT, but prolonged use can cause a sort of retinal shock where the flickering is seen even when looking away from the monitor.

  6. Comparison of CRT, LCD, plasma, and OLED displays - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_CRT,_LCD...

    For the majority of images it will consume 60–80% of the power of an LCD. OLED displays use 40% of the power of an LCD displaying an image that is primarily black as they lack the need for a backlight, [40] while OLED can use more than three times as much power to display a mostly white image compared to an LCD. [41]

  7. List of reagent testing color charts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reagent_testing...

    List of reagent testing color charts. It is advised to check the references for photos of reaction results. [1] Reagent testers might show the colour of the desired substance while not showing a different colour for a more dangerous additive. [2] For this reason it is essential to use multiple different tests to show all adulterants.

  8. Power-line flicker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-line_flicker

    Power-line flicker is a visible change in brightness of a lamp due to rapid fluctuations in the voltage of the power supply. The voltage drop is generated over the source impedance of the grid by the changing load current of an equipment or facility. These fluctuations in time generate flicker. The effects can range from disturbance to ...

  9. Display resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution

    1080p progressive scan HDTV, which uses a 16:9 ratio. Some commentators also use display resolution to indicate a range of input formats that the display's input electronics will accept and often include formats greater than the screen's native grid size even though they have to be down-scaled to match the screen's parameters (e.g. accepting a 1920 × 1080 input on a display with a native 1366 ...
