Glossary Glossary ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ A Active matrix This is a kind of liquid crystal display structure in which switching transistors are attached to each pixel to control the on/off voltage. It produces a brighter and sharper display with a broader viewing angle than a passive matrix display. Also refer to TFT (thin film transistor). Amorphous silicon (a-Si) A semiconductor material that is used to make the thin film transistors (TFTs) layer of an active matrix LCD.
Glossary The light source for a transmissive LCD. There are two techniques used in nowaday LCD designs. Most TFT LCD panels use CCFLs (cold cathode fluorescent light) and a diffuser panel directly behind the liquid crystal layer. New technology using Light Emitting Diodes (LED) are still under development. Brightness The dimension of color that is referred to an achromatic scale, ranging from black to white, also called lightness or luminous reflectance.
Glossary Contrast ratio The ratio of luminance between the brightest white pattern and the darkest black pattern. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE D D-SUB A VGA Analog input connector. Your monitor comes with a D-Sub cable. Digital Visual Interface (DVI) The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) specification provides a high-speed digital connection for visual data types that is display technology independent.

Glossary Hubs are wiring concentrators and enable the multiple attachment characteristics of USB. Attachment points are referred to as ports. Each hub converts a single attachment point into multiple attachment points. The architecture supports concatenation of multiple hubs. The upstream port of a hub connects the hub towards the host. Each of the other downstream ports of a hub allows connection to another hub or function.
Glossary The direction of data flow from the host or away from the host. A downstream port is the port on a hub electrically farthest from the host that generates downstream data traffic from the hub. Downstream ports receive upstream data traffic. Upstream The direction of data flow towards the host. An upstream port is the port on a device electrically closest to the host that generates upstream data traffic from the hub. Upstream ports receive downstream data traffic.
