1-Introduction
A computer monitor is an output device that displays information in pictorial
form. A monitor usually comprises the display device, circuitry, casing, and power
supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor
liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) with LED backlighting having replaced cold-
cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlighting. Older monitors used a cathode ray
tube (CRT). Monitors are connected to the computer via VGA, Digital Visual
interface (DVI),HDMI,DISPLAYPORT (, Thunderbolt , low-voltage differential
signaling (LVDS) or other proprietary connectors and signals.
2-History of computer Monitor

The first monitors use CRT technology (cathode ray rube) and firstly
made in 1922, The earlier commercial version was produced in 1954. This
technology used for 50 years until 2000 when the LCD technology replace it, The
CRT technology used by computer monitors, and also for televisions too, in 2000
the bigger monitor manufacturers start to use the newer LCD technology (Liquid-
crystal display), Now most of the displays use this technology, and almost
replaced the CRT displays (almost in every area), The LCD displays has two
main type according the type of panel: TN (Twisted) and IPS (In-plane switching),
the newest type of display is OLED. (which maybe familiar from phone).
3-Type of Computer Monitor

Most people use computer monitors daily at work and at home. And while these
come in a variety of shapes, designs, and colors, they can also be broadly
categorized into three types. If you are not sure what these are and would like an
introduction to the different types of computer monitors then here we explain the
three main types, as well as the pros and cons of each.
3-1-CRT (cathode ray tube) monitors

These monitors employ CRT technology, which was used most commonly in the
manufacturing of television screens. With these monitors, a stream of intense
high energy electrons is used to form images on a fluorescent screen. A cathode
ray tube is basically a vacuum tube containing an electron gun at one end and a
fluorescent screen at another end.
While CRT monitors can still be found in some organizations, many offices have
stopped using them largely because they are heavy, bulky, and costly to replace
should they
break. While they are still in use, it would be a good idea to phase these monitors
out for cheaper, lighter, and more reliable monitors.
3-2-LCD (liquid crystal display) monitors

The LCD monitor incorporates one of the most advanced technologies available
today. Typically, it consists of a layer of color or monochrome pixels arranged
schematically between a couple of transparent electrodes and two polarizing
filters. Optical effect is made possible by polarizing the light in varied amounts
and making it pass through the liquid crystal layer. The two types of LCD
technology available are the active matrix of TFT and a passive matrix
technology. TFT generates better picture quality and is more secure and reliable.
Passive matrix, on the other hand, has a slow response time and is slowly
becoming outdated.
The advantages of LCD monitors include their compact size which makes them
lightweight. They also don’t consume much electricity as CRT monitors, and can
be run off of batteries which makes them ideal for laptops.
3-3-LED (light-emitting diodes) monitors

LED monitors are the latest types of monitors on the market today. These are flat
panel, or slightly curved displays which make use of light-emitting diodes for
back-lighting, instead of cold cathode fluorescent (CCFL) back-lighting used in
LCDs. LED monitors are said to use much lesser power than CRT and LCD and
are considered far more environmentally friendly.
The advantages of LED monitors are that they produce images with higher
contrast, have less negative environmental impact when disposed, are more
durable than CRT or LCD monitors, and features a very thin design. They also
don’t produce much heat while running. The only downside is that they can be
more expensive, especially for the high-end monitors like the new curved
displays that are being released.
Being aware of the different types of computer monitors available should help
you choose one that’s most suited to your needs. Looking to learn more about

3-4-TFT Monitor
Short for thin film transistor, a type of LCD flat panel display screen, in which
each pixel is controlled by from one to four transistors. The TFT technology
provides the best resolution of all the flat-panel techniques, but it is also the most
expensive
3-5-DLP Monitor
Data loss prevention (DLP) is a set of tools and processes used to ensure that sensitive
data is not lost, misused, or accessed by unauthorized users. ... DLP also provides
reporting to meet compliance and auditing requirements and identify areas of weakness
and anomalies for forensics and incident response.
3-6-Touch Screen Monitor

A touch screen is a computer display screen that is also an input device. The screens
are sensitive to pressure; a user interacts with the computer by touching pictures or
words on the screen
There are three types of touch screen technology:
a-Resistive: A resistive touch screen panel is coated with a thin metallic electrically
conductive and resistive layer that causes a change in the electrical current which is
registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing. Resistive touch
screen panels are generally more affordable but offer only 75% clarity and the layer
can be damaged by sharp objects. Resistive touch screen panels are not affected by
outside elements such as dust or water.
 b-Surface wave: Surface wave technology uses ultrasonic waves that pass over
the touch screen panel. When the panel is touched, a portion of the wave is
absorbed. This change in the ultrasonic waves registers the position of the touch
event and sends this information to the controller for processing. Surface wave
touch screen panels are the most advanced of the three types, but they can be
damaged by outside elements.
 c-Capacitive: A capacitive touch screen panel is coated with a material that

stores electrical charges. When the panel is touched, a small amount of charge is
drawn to the point of contact. Circuits located at each corner of the panel measure
the charge and send the information to the controller for processing. Capacitive
touch screen panels must be touched with a finger unlike resistive and surface wave
panels that can use fingers and stylus. Capacitive touch screens are not affected by
outside elements and have high clarity.
