...New Generation Signage Displays with LCD Panel Resizing Technology By Esther Lin, Product Manager, Industrial Display Solutions Digital signage is an innovative medium for targeted information, entertainment, promotions and advertising, delivered in visually rich multimedia formats designed to attract consumers. Since digital signage so ubiquitous these days, people no longer ask what it is because digital signage has matured into a fully developed, versatile product that has adapted to many different applications and environments. Applications are constantly diversifying and we are now seeing semi-transparent digital signage displays (with products inside), large-format multi-touch displays, video walls, and tiles (smaller displays that can be configured in new ways), and interactive digital signage that aims to give consumers a more fun, educational and enhanced customer experience that helps drive sales. Digital signage displays now come in unusual shapes or configurations but 42" and above are the most common sizes. However, large-sized displays with conventional aspect ratios have limitations— in locations where they are restricted in height or physical space, like on elevators, buses, or in the transportation and medical markets. LED signages seem to be a good fit for these kinds of space-limited applications; however, LEDs are usually heavy, power consuming, and display low-resolution images. www.advantech.com LCD Panel Resizing Technology For space limited requirements...

...computer. Brief history of a monitor The video display terminal, or VDT, marked the early days of computer monitors. These VDTs included a screen and attached keyboard linked to a larger computer by a serial connection. Because VDTs required a connection to a larger computer, they were often referred to as "dumb terminals." Dumb terminals displayed text only in two colors, usually black and green. The Apple II and first game machines began using a television CRT. IBM's CRT The ssssst of its new PS/2 computer system. The display technology allowed for 256 different colors and 640 x 480 resolutions. Despite the appearance of newer display techniques, VGA has become a computer monitor standard. Indeed, the VGA may have become the impetus for the modern computer gaming industry as the increased color palette made graphics possible. Up to this point, computer displays were limited to text. RESEARCH Types of Monitors A cathode ray tube or CRT CRT technology, computer monitors continue to be referred to as "The Tube". A CRT works by moving an electron beam back and forth across the back of the screen. Each time the beam makes a pass across the screen, it lights up phosphor dots on the inside of the glass tube, thereby illuminating the active portions of the screen. By drawing many such lines from the top to the bottom of the screen, it creates an entire screenful of images. A Liquid crystal display (LCD) is a thin, flat display device made up of any number of color or monochrome...

...An new i-PR structure for a patterned retardertype 3D display To ameliorate the polarized glasses-type 3D display with a patterned retarder, we strongly recommend the i-PR (in cell black stripe Patterned Retarder) structure. In 3D mode, this particular structure can improve vertical viewing angle. When 2D switching mode is expressed, luminance and visibility will ameliorate at the same time. 1. Introduction These days, 3D movie is a rising star; with Hollywood as the center, numerous movies and major CATV enterprises are producing 3D contents including education, sports etc. End user’s requirements of 3D display have been increasing rapidly. [1]Especially, the patterned retarder type product has been demanded by producer of 3D contents as a professional use because it can able to express less than 1% of 3D crosstalk. When watching sports games in public (restaurants, pub, etc), polarized glasses has numerous merits. First of all, it is not an electronic device. It is easy to manage. Second of all, it is inexpensive compare to shutter glasses. Based on B2B market system, their requirements are slowly expanding. In this paper, we propose an ameliorated new i-PR (in cell black stripe Patterned Retarder) structure for a patterned retardertype 3D display. 2.

...Monitor Study Summary Issue All users have been provided with one 19” extended width monitor. The system provides the ability to view multiple documents at once (side by side) for comparison purposes, however this feature is not used very often because the screen size limits the display to only small fonts, the entire document is not visible all at once, and the dual display is too complicated to set-up. Additionally, the quality of the scan in many cases is not as clear as an original typed document (such as this document), requiring the font to be displayed larger than normal size in order for it to be legible. Tasks performed by our users require them to be constantly comparing documents. In order to compare documents, users usually switch back and forth between screens or print the documents. Our system does not provide the ability to simultaneously view a document while creating new forms, so users are required to switch back and forth. Currently, the our users are required to access several systems to obtain all of the necessary information, resulting in having several systems open simultaneously. Goal of Study The goal of the monitor study was to determine if an increase in the amount of screen surface would provide significant benefits such as improved efficiency, reduced print volume, increased accuracy, and reduced physical stress. If the increased screen space provided significant benefit, then the second goal of the study was to determine the best set-up...

...Mr. Wysuph List of Components I. Breadboard II. 8051 microcontroller III. 4x4 Hex keypad IV. 7 – segment display V. Keil program software VI. 5 volt power supply VII. 330 ohm resistor pack VIII. 1 resistor (8.2K ohm) Progress Update Although our circuit is not built, we have made progress. We have to order a part in order for the project to work. We have to order the 4x4 hex keypad. Once the keypad arrives, we can wire it to our breadboard or the trainer. In order for this project to work, we must make sure that our circuit chips have power (VCC) and are grounded. After that is done, we will take our 33pF capacitors and connect them to our 11.0592MHz oscillator, which is connected to XTAL1 and XTAL2 on the 8051 trainer. We will then tie R1 – R4 and C1 – C4 on our hex keypad to ports 1.0 through 1.7 together on the 8051. Ports 0.0 – 0.7 on the 8051 will have a 330 ohm resistor pack connected to the 7 segment display. We will then have our 10uF capacitor tied together with the 8.2k ohm resistor, which should be connected to our reset. Test Plan To troubleshoot the circuit, we first must know how it is supposed to work. If the keypad is not working, we must check all connections and we can use a logic probe to see if we are getting an output at certain pins. We can also use the logic probe if our 7 – segment display is not lighting up or not showing the desired number. Another issue can be that the wires are not in the correct place. That...

...& Logic Mod 2 Short Answer 4-10-15 I/O Devices I/O devices enable us to control the computer and display information in a variety of ways. In computing, input/output or I/O is the communication between a computer and the outside world, possibly a human or information processing systems. Inputs are the signals or data received by the system and outputs are the signals or data sent from it. The computer keyboard is used to enter text information into the computer, as when you type the contents of a report. The keyboard can also be used to type commands directing the computer to perform certain actions. Typical pointing devices are: mouse, trackball, touch pad, track-point, graphics tablet, joystick, and touch screen. Your computer must produce a video signal that a monitor can display. This may be handled by circuitry on the motherboard, but is usually handled by a video card in one of the computer’s expansion slots; often the slot is a special one dedicated to video use, such as an AGP slot (Accelerated Graphics Port). Video cards are also called video display adapters, and graphics cards. Many video cards contain separate processors and dedicated video memory for generating complex graphics quickly without burdening the CPU. These accelerated graphics cards are loved by gamers. A flat panel display usually uses an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen to display output from the computer. The LCD consists of several thin layers that polarize the light passing through...

...Introduction The Indian television market was all set to witness a high-end technology product launch in April 2009 as Samsung, Panasonic, LG and TCL announced that they would be introducing LED TV in India. LED TVs used 40% lower electricity [5], contained no mercury and were made of environment friendly products [6] With the existing LCD TV market, which used normal crystal display technology, LED used light emitting diodes(LED) in their panels LED TVs costed 30-40% more than LCDs. This price came down with the emergence of many players in the market. According to a study by McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), the Indian per capita income is likely to grow three folds over the next two decades making India the world’s fifth largest consumer market by 2025. Some of the key trends that have led to this increase in spending are listed below: * Higher disposable income and availability of finance * Affordable products * Continuous innovation * Competition to drive sales * Availability at large retail stores and online market places. A potential customer visiting an electronics showroom in India, may not decide to buy what he sees in the first visit. Since he has more than one place where he can buy from, offering various discounts, freebies, payment options etc the consumer can weigh all his options before he makes an informed choice. The sales of LED TVs like other consumer electronic items is seasonal in nature. Festivals like Diwali, Christmas and Eid...

...Paper Flat panel displays encompass a growing number of electronic visual display technologies. They are far lighter and thinner than traditional television sets and video displays that use cathode ray tubes (CRTs), and are usually less than 10 centimetres (3.9 in) thick. Flat panel displays can be divided into two general display device categories: volatile and static. In many applications, specifically modern portable devices such as laptops, mobile phones, digital cameras, camcorders, point-and-shoot cameras, and pocket video cameras, any display disadvantages are made up for by portability advantages. Most of the modern flat-panel displays use LCD technologies. Most LCD screens are back-lit to make them easier to read in bright environments. They are thin and light. They provide better linearity and higher resolution. A multifunctional monitor (MFM) is a flat panel display that has additional video inputs (more than a typical LCD monitor) and is designed to be used with a variety of external video sources. In many instances, an MFM also includes a TV tuner, making it similar to a LCD TV that offers computer connectivity. ------------------------------------------------- History[edit] The first engineering proposal for a flat panel TV was by General Electric as a result of its work on radar monitors.[when?] Their publication of their findings gave all the basics of future flat panel TVs and monitors. But GE did not continue with the R&D required and never built...

There they are cut to size, combined with electronic components shipped in from Asia and the United States, assembled into finished TVs, and located onto trucks bound for retail stores in United States. It’s a huge business. U.S consumers spend over $35 billion a year on flat panel TVs. The underlying technology for flat panel displays was invented in the United States in the late 1960s by RCA. But after RCA and rivals Westinghouse and Xerox opted not to pursue the technology, the Japanese company Sharp made aggressive investments in flat panel displays. By the early 1990s Sharp was selling the first flat panel screens, but as the Japanese economy plunged into a decade-long recession, investment leadership shifted to South Korean companies such as Samsung. Then the 1997 Asian crisis hit Korea hard, and Taiwanese companies seized leadership. Today, Chinese companies are starting to elbow their way into the flat panel display manufacturing business.
