output

-a spreadsheet printout -displaying a YouTube video on a TV screen -playing a song from spotify

characteristics of OLED technology

-capable of creating curved and extremely thin displays -currently more expensive to produce than LCD screens -use red, green, and blue LEDs to create each pixel -has the best possible contrast ratio -have the potential for making newspapers with video -costs approximately 5x more than competing display technologies

Plasma

-creates image using cells of ionized red, blue, and green gas -use cells of ionized gas to create images -becoming less popular -limited brightness may be a factor is a well-lit room

input

-entering text in a word processing program -recording a song using MIDI -putting a video from your phone onto your computer

select the characteristics of thermal printing

-paper turns black when heated -commonly used for printing receipts

output device

-projector -monitor -printer -speaker

LCD (liquid crystal display)

-refers to a type of monitor display -may have a relatively slow refresh rate sice it relies on molecular movement -because of their minimal power requirements, nearly all digital devices use liquid crystal displays -contrast ratio is not as great as competing technologies

ergonomics

-the study of human factors related to the things people use -can help improve mental concentration or improve physical capability by only providing necessary information to the user

inkjet printer

-uses ink cartridges -relatively low in initial cost -most common type of printer fro home use

laser printer

-uses toner cartridges -relatively high in initial cost

LED (light-emitting diode)
