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 The luminance variation between light and dark areas in an image. 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) (available for selective models) The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) specification provides a high-speed digital connection for visual data types that is display technology independent.
Glossary RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE E Energy Star Computers Program An energy conservation program launched by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), promotes the manufacture and marketing of energy-efficient office automation equipment. Companies joining this program, must be willing to commit themselves to manufacture one or more products capable of going into a low -power state (< 30 W) either after a period of inactivity, or after a predetermined time selected by the user.
Glossary Such a series may be made up of steps, which appear to be equally distant from one another. If the Analog/ Digital converter is 8 bit, then the monitor can display at most 28 = 256 levels. For a color monitor, R.G.B. each color hads 256 levels. Thus, total color can display is 256x256x256= 16.7 million. H Hue The main attribute of a color that distinguishes it from other colors. For example, a color may have a green, yellow, or purple hue. Color defined as having hue are know as chromatic colors.
Glossary Luminance A measure of the brightness or luminous intensity of light, usually expressed in units of Candelas per square meter (cd/m2) or foot Lamberts. 1 fL=3.426 cd/m2. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE N Nit A unit of luminance equal to 1 cd/m2 or 0.292 ftL. P Pixel PICture Element; the smallest element on a computerized CRT or LCD image, and hence a display. Polarizer A light filter which only allows light waves of a certain rotation through.
Glossary Refresh rate The number of times per second the screen is refreshed or redrawn. This number is usually stated in Hz (Hertz) or cycles per second. A rate of 60 Hz is equal to 60 tomes per second.
Glossary SmartManage Lite SmartManage Lite is a system for monitoring, managing and checking status of display devices designed to meet the specific needs of growing small and medium-size businesses that minimizes costs and maximizes IT staff efficiency by remotely controlling key display settings, providing status reports, compiling usage data, overseeing energy consumption and deterring thefts. sRGB sRGB is a standard for ensuring correct exchange of colors between different devices (e.g.
Glossary TrueVision TrueVision is industry-leading, proprietary Philips testing and algorithm technology for monitor adjustment and fine tuning, an extensive process that ensures ultimate display performance in compliance with a standard four-times more stringent than Microsoft's Vista requirements from each and every monitor that leaves the factory - not just a few review samples. Only Philips goes to these lengths to deliver this exacting level of color accuracy and display quality in every new monitor.
Glossary 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. Hubs can detect, attach and detach at each downstream port and enable the distribution of power to downstream devices.
Glossary Downstream 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.
