Graphics Software

There are two primary classifications for graphics software: general programming packages and special-purpose application packages. General graphics programming packages provide a comprehensive set of graphics functions that can be utilized within high-level programming languages like C or FORTRAN. An example of such a package is the GL (Graphics Library) system found on Silicon Graphics equipment. … Read more

RANDOM-SCAN SYSTEMS

RANDOM-SCAN SYSTEMS

Random-scan systems, also known as random-scan display systems, are computer graphics systems that utilize a scanning technique where the electron beam or laser scans the display screen randomly rather than following a fixed pattern. In a random-scan system, the display screen is divided into a grid of pixels, and the electron beam or laser selectively … Read more

Raster-Scan Display Processor

Raster-Scan Display Processor

A raster-scan display processor is a device or component that is used to create images on a computer screen. The process involves scanning the screen from left to right, line by line and then moving down to the next line. The processor activates the necessary pixels as it scans each line to generate the image. … Read more

RASTER-SCAN SYSTEMS

RASTER-SCAN SYSTEMS

A raster scan system is a type of display system that creates an image by scanning a beam of light across a screen, line by line. The beam is controlled by a computer, which determines the intensity of the light at each point on the screen. This creates a pattern of light and dark that … Read more

Liquid-crystal display

Liquid-crystal display

A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat-panel display or other electronically modulated optical device that uses the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly, but instead modulate the intensity of light passing through them. For this reason, LCDs are often used in electronic devices such as televisions … Read more

Flat-Panel Displays

Flat-Panel Displays

Flat-panel displays refer to a type of electronic display that is flat and thin, making it a popular choice for modern devices such as televisions, computers, smartphones, and tablets. These displays use different technologies to produce images, including liquid crystal displays (LCDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and plasma displays. Flat-panel displays offer high-quality images with … Read more
