INTRODUCTION
In today’s digital world we seen different types of
monitors. We spend most of our time sitting in
front of many types of monitors, like playing
games, watching movies, and many other things.
It’s now time to understand how all of these piece
of technologies works.

CRTs stands for Cathode
Rays Tubes. It’s the ancestor
of all the modern Displays.
They are heavy in size and
also consumes a lot of
electricity.
OLEDs
OLEDs (Organic Light
Emitting Diodes) are widely
popular because of its wide
viewing angles, picture
quality and outstanding
contrast.
LCDs LEDs

Displays) are the most used Diodes) are same as LEDs

LCD
A liquid crystal display or LCD draws its
definition from its name itself. It is a
combination of two states of matter, the
solid and the liquid. LCD uses a liquid
crystal to produce a visible image. Liquid
crystal displays are super-thin technology
display screens that are generally used in
laptop computer screens, TVs, cell phones,
and portable video games. LCD’s
technologies allow displays to be much
thinner when compared to a cathode ray
tube (CRT) technology.
WORKING MODEL
The liquid crystal display screen works on the
principle of blocking light rather than emitting
light. LCDs require a backlight as they do not
emit light them. Liquid crystal display is
composed of several layers which include two
polarized panel filters and electrodes. Light is
projected from a lens on a layer of liquid
crystal. This combination of colored light with
the grayscale image of the crystal (formed as
electric current flows through the crystal)
forms the colored image. This image is then
displayed on the screen.

due to low power consumption.
LED
LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. These
diodes are tiny little bulbs that you might have
seen on electronic devices. Large LED displays
use a large number of these diodes to light up
the screen. These diodes are low power
consumption devices that provide high
brightness. As a result, an LED screen has
several benefits over other display alternatives.
The fluorescent bulbs used earlier could only
give black and white tones. However, an LED
screen can display the entire color spectrum by
combining red, blue, and green colors (RGB).
WORKING MODEL
LED works in the same way as an LCD, the
main difference between both is that in LED,
we use different techniques such as light-
emitting diodes for using back lighting instead
of cold cathode fluorescent (CCFL) as in LCD.
These diodes are either red, blue, or green.
Each of these diodes is capable of emitting
light of different brightness. As you might
know, two or more colors can combine to
create new colors. Similarly, red, blue, and
green light from these diodes combined in
varying ratios create every color on the
spectrum.

The Plasma monitor panel (PDP) is made of
Plasma technology is another latest type of
computer monitor technology. Display of
plasma made with cells. These cells are
fi lled with ‘electrically charged Ionized Gas‘.
Such cells are called Plasma. The basic idea
behind the plasma technology is to
illuminate tiny colored fluorescent lights to
create image pixels. Each pixel is made of
three such fluorescent lights – red, green
and blue lights. To create a wide range of
colors, intensity of these lights is varied
accordingly.
WORKING MODEL
Plasma screens contain tiny pockets of gas that
get excited when voltage is applied to them,
turning them into a state of plasma. In that state,
the voltage then strikes electrons of mercury,
turning them into ultraviolet (UV) light. The UV
light then passes through phosphor cells; each
pixel contains red, green, and blue phosphor
cells. These phosphor cells then turn the UV light
into colors that are visible on the light
spectrum. Essentially, plasma TVs don't require a
light, and each pixel is self-emissive, so how one
pixel displays itself is independent of the next
pixel.
