A digital flat panel interface introduced by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG). Although other interfaces have been introduced, DVI is expected to become the industry standard.
Industry:Electronic components
Measured in degrees Kelvin, color temperature is a reference providing a standard for defining standard colors emitted from computer displays. 6500K is close to the European TV standard and close to the white color under the sun at noon.
Industry:Electronic components
The ratio of the luminosity of the brightest and the darkest color a display is capable of producing.
Industry:Electronic components
A measure of a color's purity. A highly saturated color contains a very narrow set of wavelengths and appears much more vivid than a similar, but less saturated color.
Industry:Electronic components
The ratio of the actual light-transmitting area to the theoretical sub-pixel size calculated based on active area and resolution.
Industry:Electronic components
The ratio of width to height. When an image is displayed on different screens, the aspect ratio must be kept the same to avoid 'stretching' in either the vertical or horizontal direction. Aspect ratios are typically 4:3 and 16:9 (or 16:10) for monitors and high-definition televisions (HDTV) respectively.
Industry:Electronic components
Some LCD displays are illuminated by the use of separate light sources or backlights that are built into the unit behind the LCD panel.
Industry:Electronic components
A frame of plastic or metal that fits around the LCD glass screen to protect the edges of the glass, provide electro static discharge (ESD) and reinforce the LCD panel structure.
Industry:Electronic components
The attribute of visual perception in accordance with which an area appears to emit more or less light. (Luminance is the recommended name for the photo-electric quantity which has also been called brightness.)
Industry:Electronic components
A type of fluorescent backlighting or edge lighting.
