Output Devices

Output devices are things we use to get information OUT of a estimator. hither are some examples of output devices- Monitor George Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty ImagesThe most common computer output device is the monitor or computer screen. Monitors do a visual display from processed entropy that users can view. They cope in a variety of screen sizes and visual resolutions. There are two types of computer monitors, cathode-ray tube and flat control board. CRT monitors use phosphorescent dots to make out the pixels that make up display throws. Flat panel monitors usually use LCD or plasma to create output. Light is passed through liquid crystals to create the pixels. All monitors rely on a video card that is primed(p) on the computer motherboard or in a special expansion slot. The video card processes the computer data into image expatiate that the monitors can display.PrinterRyan McVay/Photodisc/Getty ImagesPrinters produce a hard copy version of processed data such as historys an d photographs. The computer sends the image data to the printer, which then physically recreates the image onto an object. There are three types of computer printers ink jet, laser and dot matrix. Inkjet printers spray tiny dots of ink on a surface to create an image. Laser printers use toner drums that roll through magnetized pigment and then transfer the pigment to a surface. Dot matrix printers use a print head to imbed images on a surface, apply an ink ribbon. There are also colour printers which help to improve the appearance of a document or invent.Speakers/HeadphonesZedcor Wholly Owned/PhotoObjects.net/Getty ImagesComputers produce audio data that require output devices such as speakers and headphones to deliver the sound to the user. Audio data is created by the computer and then sent to the audio card, which is located in an expansion slot. The card translates the data into audio signals, which are sent to the audio output device.CD/videodisc/Floppy DiscJupiterimages/Coms tock/Getty ImagesCD, DVD and floppy disc are output devices that can also be apply as storage and input devices. The computer sends data to the disc, where it is embedded and can be later retrieved. carry disc, or CD, is an optical device that stores audio and visual data in a digital format. info is placed on the disc, using a laser writer that embeds the data into the discs coating. digital Versatile Disc, or DVD, is an optical device that stores visual data in a media format. DVDs feature a dual coating system that allows audio and visual data to be written at the selfsame(prenominal) time by using a laser. Floppy disc is a magnetic storage device. A layer of magnetized material is placed within a proactive plastic casing. The computer embeds the data into the magnetized material, using a writing head.ProjectorIT Stock/Polka Dot/Getty ImagesProjectors are display devices that project a computer created image. The computer sends the image data to the video card which then send s the video image to the projector. They are typically used for presentations or for viewing videos.PlotterStockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty ImagesPlotters create a hard copy version of a digitally rendered design. The design is sent to the plotter via a graphics card, and creates the design using a pen. Generally used with engineering applications, plotters basically draw an image using a series of tasteful lines.
