Read and translate the text. Display technology
There are a wide variety of display technologies ranging from inexpensive displays to high-end colour stereoscopic displays. There are some common characteristics that should be examined when matching a display to an application. They include
The ability to display images as well as text.
Resolution or quality of the image.
Portability of the computer.
The price of the display.
A video display is a subsystem that consists of two components: a display adapter and a display screen. The display adapter acts as a channel of communication between the computer and the display screen. It contains built-in video memory that stores the images for the display screen. The greater the complexity of the images to be displayed, the more memory required. It also contains its own processor, sometimes called a video coprocessor.
A display divides the screen into a grid of rows and columns. The intersection of a row and column on the screen is called a pixel, short for picture element. It is the smallest unit of display. Resolution refers to the number of pixels displayed across and down on the display screen. The more pixels on the screen, the finer the quality and detail of the image. Another measure of resolution is the size of the pixel, called a dot pitch. The smaller the pixels, the sharper the quality of the displayed image.
Aliasing. Because display images consist of pixels arranged in rows and columns instead of continuous surfaces, the problem of aliasing—the jagged or stair step appearance of the edges of diagonal lines or curves—must be resolved. Higher resolution solves part of the problem, but anti-aliasing techniques have been developed that shade or colour neighbouring pixels along an edge to make the transition between light and dark less visible.
Video Graphics Array. Because of advances in display technology, resolution continues to increase.. There are several standard resolutions that have evolved to meet the needs of various applications. Video Graphics Array (VGA), a standard developed by IBM in 1987, offers a minimum 640-by-480-pixel resolution.
VGA has been enhanced by a standard called Super VGA, which can display images at two resolutions: 800 by 600 pixels, and 1024 by 768 pixels.
Extended Graphics Array (XGA),introduced in 1991, is an IBM extension of VGA that offers 1280-by-1024-pixel resolution and up to 32,768 simultaneous colours.
Ultra Extended Graphics Array (UXGA) supports resolution 1600x1200 pixels.
VGA resolution both use the same number of pixels, so the smaller image always looks better.
