A computer monitor is an output device that displays information in pictorial or textual form. A discrete monitor comprises a visual display, support electronics, power supply, housing, electrical connectors, and external user controls. The display in modern monitors is typically an LCD with LED backlight, having by the 2010s replaced CCFL ...
A refreshable braille display or braille terminal is an electro-mechanical device for displaying braille characters, usually by means of round-tipped pins raised through holes in a flat surface. Visually impaired computer users who cannot use a standard computer monitor can use it to read text output. Deafblind computer users may also use ...
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.
An elder 3D mouse. 3D pointing device. A pointing device is a human interface device that allows a user to input spatial (i.e., continuous and multi-dimensional) data to a computer. Graphical user interfaces (GUI) and CAD systems allow the user to control and provide data to the computer using physical gestures by moving a hand-held mouse or ...
Display Data Channel ( DDC) is a collection of protocols for digital communication between a computer display and a graphics adapter that enable the display to communicate its supported display modes to the adapter and that enable the computer host to adjust monitor parameters, such as brightness and contrast. Like modern analog VGA connectors ...
Extended Display Identification Data. Extended Display Identification Data ( EDID) and Enhanced EDID ( E-EDID) are metadata formats for display devices to describe their capabilities to a video source (e.g., graphics card or set-top box ). The data format is defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).
v. t. e. In computing, input/output ( I/O, i/o, or informally io or IO) is the communication between an information processing system, such as a computer, and the outside world, such as another computer system, peripherals, or a human operator. Inputs are the signals or data received by the system and outputs are the signals or data sent from it.
Display board at Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof (2005) 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 .
