is an output device used to represent the information in the form of images (visual form)
(identify)
display device
are mostly called a video monitor or Video display unit (VDU).
(identify)
Display systems
are designed to model, display, view, or display information.

Display devices
The purpose of display technology is to ?.
(fill in the blanks)
simplify information sharing
Display Devices
(enumerate)
- Cathode-ray Tube (CRT)
- Color CRT Monitor
- Liquid crystal display (LCD)
- Light Emitting Diode (LED)
- Direct View Storage Tube (DVST)
- Plasma Display
- 3D Display
Display Devices
is a particular type of vacuum tube that displays images when an electron beam collides on the radiant surface.

Cathode-ray Tube
Components of CRT
(enumerate)
- Electron Gun
- Focusing & Accelerating Anodes
- Horizontal & Vertical Deflection Plates
- Phosphorus-coated Screen
Display Devices
Cathode-ray Tube: Components
is made up of several elements, mainly a heating filament (heater) and a cathode.
(identify)
Electron Gun
Display Devices
Cathode-ray Tube: Components
is a source of electrons focused on a narrow beam facing the CRT.
(identify)
Electron Gun
Display Devices
Cathode-ray Tube: Components
These anodes are used to produce a narrow and sharply focused beam of electrons.
(identify)
Focusing & Accelerating Anodes
Display Devices
Cathode-ray Tube: Components
These plates are used to guide the path of the electron the beam.
(identify)
Horizontal & Vertical Deflection Plates
Display Devices
Cathode-ray Tube: Components
The plates produce an electromagnetic field that bends the electron beam through the area as it travels.
(identify)
Horizontal & Vertical Deflection Plates
Display Devices
Cathode-ray Tube: Components
is used to produce bright spots when the high-velocity electron beam hits it.

Phosphorus-coated Screen
Display Devices
Two ways to represent an object on the screen
(enumerate)
- Raster Scan
- Random Scan (Vector Scan)
Display Devices
First way to represent object on the screen: Raster Scan
(describe)
- a scanning technique
- its electron beam moves along the screen from top to bottom, one line at a time
Display Devices
First way to represent object on the screen: Raster Scan
A raster scan is based on pixel intensity control display as a rectangular box on the screen called a ?.

raster
Display Devices
First way to represent object on the screen: Raster Scan
Picture description is stored in the memory area called as ?, or ?
(fill in the blanks)
(not same answer)
Refresh buffer. Frame Buffer
Display Devices
First way to represent object on the screen: Raster Scan
Frame buffer is also known as ? or ?.
(fill in the blanks)
(not same answer)
Raster. Bitmap
Display Devices
First way to represent object on the screen: Raster Scan
Raster scan provides the refresh rate of ? frames per second.
(fill in the blanks)
60 to 80
Display Devices
In this, the electron beam points only to the area in which the picture is to be drawn.
(identify)
Random Scan (Vector Scan)
Display Devices
Second way to represent object on the screen: Random Scan (Vector Scan)
also known as ? or ?
(fill in the blanks)
(not same answer)
stroke-writing display. calligraphic display
Display Devices
Second way to represent object on the screen: Random Scan (Vector Scan)
The image is constructed from a sequence of ?.
(fill in the blanks)
straight-line segments
Display Devices
Second way to represent object on the screen: Random Scan (Vector Scan)
On the screen, each ? is drawn by the beam to pass from one point on the screen to the other, where its x & y coordinates define each point.
(fill in the blanks)
line segment
Display Devices
It is similar to a CRT monitor
