Types of Display Flashcards
cathode ray tube, or CRT Monitors
How do they work?
it uses electrons and it literally fires them from a gun behind the screen.
And electrons carry a negative charge. The electrons then strike the screen, or the sensor component of the screen, and it activates phosphors, which cause illumination
Types of LCD Displays
- in-plane switching, or IPS
is considered to have the best color accuracy and viewing angles and overall image quality - super plane to line switching, or PLS
developed by Samsung, and it is very similar to IPS, the in-plane switching, but it tends to be a little bit brighter - vertical alignment, or VA
does offer wider viewing angles and better quality, but it had slower response times - and twisted nematic, or TN panel technology
does offer wider viewing angles and better quality, but it had slower response times
what is organic light-emitting diodes, or OLED
and this is a very thin display technology that does not require any kind of backlighting
uses organic compounds to produce electroluminescence
THIS CONTAINS a TFT, which is known as a thin film transistor. Then an anode, and that’s the opposite of a cathode.
Two different types within OLED
passive-matrix OLED
active-matrix OLED
What are the differences
Passive: which strictly uses the electroluminescent layer to light the screen. In other words, it does not use the TFT
Active: does use the TFT. But the problem here is that the organic compounds that produce the luminescence do tend to degrade over time. So with the active, this was a better choice for devices that aren’t on all the time, such as your tablet or your phone.
