A display device is an output device for presentation of information in visual [1] or tactile form (the latter used for example in tactile electronic displays for blind people). [2] When the input information that is supplied has an electrical signal the display is called an electronic display.
LCDs are available to display arbitrary images (as in a general-purpose computer display) or fixed images with low information content, which can be displayed or hidden: preset words, digits, and seven-segment displays (as in a digital clock) are all examples of devices with these displays.
The introduction of TN-effect displays led to their rapid expansion in the display field, quickly pushing out other common technologies like monolithic LEDs and CRTs for most electronics. By the 1990s, TN-effect LCDs were largely universal in portable electronics, although since then, many applications of LCDs adopted alternatives to the TN ...
Different display technologies have vastly different temporal characteristics, leading to perceptual differences of motion, flicker, etc. Sketch of some common display technologies' temporal behaviour. The figure shows a sketch of how different technologies present a single white/grey frame. Time and intensity is not to scale.
On two-dimensional display devices such as computer monitors the display size or viewable image size is the actual amount of screen space that is available to display a picture, video or working space, without obstruction from the bezel or other aspects of the unit's design. The main measurements for display devices are width, height, total ...
An electronic visual display is a display device that can display images, video, or text that is transmitted electronically. Electronic visual displays include television sets , computer monitors , and digital signage .
The ADC may be used in simple digital display devices, e. g., thermometers or light meters but it may also be used in digital sound recording and in data acquisition. However, a digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) is used to change a digital signal to an analogue signal. A DAC takes a series of binary numbers and converts it to an analogue signal.
A vector monitor, vector display, or calligraphic display is a display device used for computer graphics up through the 1970s. It is a type of CRT , similar to that of an early oscilloscope . In a vector display, the image is composed of drawn lines rather than a grid of glowing pixels as in raster graphics .
