.Monitors (Visual Display Unit-VDU)
- commonly called as Visual Display Unit (VDU) the
main output device of computer.
- It forms images from tiny dots, called pixels that are
arranged in a rectangular form.
-The sharpness of the image depends upon the number of
pixels.
There are two kinds of viewing screen used for monitors.
• Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT)
• Flat-Panel Display

16. Output Devices
.Cathode Ray Tube Monitor(CRT)
-A CRT monitor is a bowl-shaped screen made of a glass
envelope containing an electron gun and a fluorescent
screen that emits light when the gun releases electrons.
-older, larger, and heavier ,High Power Consumption.

17. Output Devices
.Flat Panel Display Monitor
- reduced volume, weight and power requirement in
comparison to the CRT
-can hang them on walls
-The flat-panel display is divided into two categories −
Emissive Displays − Emissive displays are devices that
convert electrical energy into light. For example, plasma
panel and LED (Light-Emitting Diodes).
Non-Emissive Displays − Non-emissive displays use optical
effects to convert sunlight or light from some other source
into graphics patterns. For example, LCD (Liquid-Crystal
Device).

Graphic Plotter
- is a computer hardware device much like a printer that is
used for printing vector graphics.
- Instead of toner, plotters use a pen, pencil, marker, or
another writing tool to draw multiple, continuous lines
onto paper rather than a series of dots like a traditional
printer.
- commonly used for computer-aided design applications.

20. Output Devices
Printer
- is an output device, which is used to print information on
paper.
 Types
Impact Printers
Non – Impact Printers
Impact Printers
-Impact printers print the characters by striking them on the
ribbon, which is then pressed on the paper.
-Very low consumable costs
-Very noisy
-Useful for bulk printing due to low cost
-There is physical contact with the paper to produce an image

27. Storage Devices
 Primary Storage
- also known as main storage or memory, is the area in a
computer in which data is stored for quick access by
the computer's processor.
 Random Access Memory(RAM)
- a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly;
that is, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching
the preceding bytes.
- RAM is considered volatile memory, which means that the
stored information is lost when there is no power. So, RAM is
used by the central processing unit (CPU) when a computer is
running to store information that needs to be used very
quickly, but it does not store any information permanently

29. Storage Devices
 Read Only Memory(ROM)
- The memory from which we can only read but cannot
write on it.
-This type of memory is non-volatile.
-The information is stored permanently in such memories
during manufacture.
-A ROM stores such instructions that are required to start
a computer.
- ROM retains its contents even when the computer is
turned off.

 Secondary Storage
- secondary storage, secondary memory or external
memory, is a non-volatile memory (does not lose stored
data when the device is powered down) .
- holds data until it is deleted or overwritten
 Hard Disk
- is a data storage device that uses magnetic storage to
store and retrieve digital information using one or more
rigid rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with
magnetic material.
