Study Notes
Display Devices
- Types of display devices:
- Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors: use an electron beam to excite phosphors, creating images on a screen
- Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitors: use a layer of liquid crystals to block or allow light to pass through, creating images
- Light Emitting Diode (LED) monitors: use an array of LEDs to produce images
- Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) monitors: use a layer of organic material to produce light and images
- Display device characteristics:
- Resolution: number of pixels per unit of length (e.g. pixels per inch)
- Aspect ratio: proportion of width to height (e.g. 16:9)
- Refresh rate: number of times the display updates per second (e.g. 60Hz)
Speech Recognition
- Types of speech recognition:
- Speaker-dependent: requires training for a specific speaker's voice
- Speaker-independent: can recognize speech from any speaker
- Speech recognition techniques:
- Acoustic modeling: uses audio signals to identify spoken words
- Language modeling: uses statistical models to predict the likelihood of a word or phrase
- Articulatory modeling: uses physical models of the human vocal tract to recognize speech
Keyboard Interfaces
- Keyboard types:
- QWERTY: most common keyboard layout, designed to slow down typing to prevent keys from jamming
- QWERTZ: similar to QWERTY, but with the "Y" and "Z" keys swapped
- Dvorak: designed to be more efficient and ergonomic
- Keyboard interfaces:
- PS/2: older keyboard interface, uses a 6-pin mini-DIN connector
- USB: modern keyboard interface, uses a USB connector
- Wireless: uses radio frequency (RF) or Bluetooth signals to connect to a computer
Printers
- Types of printers:
- Impact printers: use a physical mechanism to strike ink onto paper (e.g. dot matrix)
- Non-impact printers: use a non-physical mechanism to produce images (e.g. inkjet, laser)
- Printer technologies:
- Inkjet: uses a print head to spray ink onto paper
- Laser: uses a laser to create an electrostatic image on a drum, which attracts toner
- 3D printing: uses additive manufacturing to create physical objects
Touchscreens
- Types of touchscreens:
- Resistive touchscreens: use a flexible plastic sheet and a metal wire grid to detect touch
- Capacitive touchscreens: use a layer of glass and a conductive coating to detect touch
- Surface acoustic wave touchscreens: use a series of ultrasonic waves to detect touch
- Touchscreen technologies:
- Multi-touch: allows for multiple touch points to be detected simultaneously
- Gesture recognition: uses software to recognize specific touch patterns and respond accordingly
