Display Devices
There are some display devices given below:
▪ Cathode-Ray Tube(CRT)
▪ Color CRT Monitor [Watch Here]
▪ Liquid crystal display(LCD)
▪ Light Emitting Diode(LED)

Cathode Ray Tube
• CRT stands for Cathode Ray Tube.
• CRT is a technology used in traditional computer monitors and
televisions.
• The image on CRT display is created by firing electrons from the back
of the tube of phosphorus located towards the front of the screen.
• Once the electron heats the phosphorus, they light up, and they are
projected on a screen. The color you view on the screen is produced
by a blend of red, blue and green light.

LCD Monitor
LCD is a flat display technology, stands for "Liquid Crystal Display,"
which is generally used in computer monitors, instrument panels, cell
phones, digital cameras, TVs, laptops, tablets, and calculators.
It is a thin display device that offers support for large resolutions and
better picture quality, so the older CRT display technology has replaced
by LCDs.

LCD Monitor
The LCD displays are not only different in terms of heavy than CRT
monitors; even the process of working of them is also different.
An LCD contains a backlight rather than the firing electrons at a glass
screen, which offers light to individual pixels arranged in a rectangular
grid. All pixels have a sub-pixel, red, green, and blue, which can be
turned on or off. The display appears black if all of a pixel's sub-pixels
are turned off and appears white if all the sub-pixels are turned on
100%.
The millions of color combinations can be possible with
the help of adjusting the individual levels of red, green,
and blue light.

LCD Monitor
As compared to CRT technology, LCD consumed much less power and
allowed displays to be much thinner that also made them very less
heavy. Instead of emitting light, LCDs work on the principle of blocking
light.

Advantages of LCD
LCD panels are increasingly rapidly and replacing CRT monitors and
televisions in many homes and offices. These displays provide multiple
benefits while comparing with CRT technology. Some advantages are
discussed below:
i. Space: LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) technology made display
screens much thinner as compared to CRT technology, through
which they take up much less space. LCD displays do not take space
taken up by the cathode ray tube; therefore, they are also called
flat panel screens.

Advantages of LCD
ii. Power Consumption: One of the best advantages of LCD displays is
less energy Consumption. It takes very less energy as compared to
CRT technology.
iii. Brightness: As compared to CRT technology, LCD monitors provide
output with brighter pictures as they generate the high peak
intensity.

Advantages of LCD
iv. Screen Flicker: The screen viewing area is scanned as horizontal
lines in CRT monitors. And, the rate at which the entire screen is
scanned is called refresh rate. Typically, CRT monitors have a
flickering effect as they contain a low refresh rate. The flickering
effect can be caused to detrimental health and eye strain, and
headaches if anyone is viewing for a long time period. LCD monitors
have a very high refresh rate in comparison to CRT monitors. They
have a refresh rate of 75 and 85 hertz being common, which means
the flickering effect is very low in LCD displays that made them
much comfortable to use anywhere.

Disadvantages of LCD
LCD has many advantages, but it also has some disadvantages, which
are discussed below:
Expensive for their size: As compared to plasma flat panels, LCDs can
be more costly in order to increase the size.
Small viewing Angle: Typically, LCDs have poor viewing angle; however,
manufacturers are improving by giving some intensive efforts. Poor
viewing angle results that you do not get a better image quality if you
are watching the screen on some of the left and right sides, but not
almost directly in the front of the screen.

LED Monitor
LED’s full form is ‘Light Emitting Diode’ is the latest innovation in the
today’s market competing with LCDs and Plasma Monitors.
These types of monitors are slightly curved or flat panel displays that
use light-emitting diodes for backlighting on the screen instead of cold
cathode fluorescent (CCFL) for back-lighting.
LED displays are more bright with 4k resolution than other displays,
due to which the user can be read or seen easily in daylight time.
LED monitors use less power than LCDs as well as LEDs
are widely used by gamers for playing high graphics and
HD games.

LED Monitor
The advantage of LEDs is that they produce images with higher contrast
and vivid colors. In addition, the LEDs are more durable as compared to
LCD and CRT Monitors.
