CRT stands for Cathode Ray Tube. CRT is a technology used in traditional computer
monitors and televisions. The image on CRT display is created by firing electrons from
the back of the tube of phosphorus located towards the front of the screen.
This technology combines liquid crystals and polarizers to create images on the screen.
Generally, LCD TVs have three polarized glass panels known as substrates. It contains
liquid crystals in between them. These panels are in red, blue, and green colours
To render an image on a display, the computer's central processing unit (CPU) sends the
image data to a graphics processing unit (GPU). The GPU is either integrated into the
CPU or motherboard or is part of a separate graphics card. The GPU translates the image
data into bitmaps, which are then transmitted to the display.

contrast, are highly directional and thus “easy to couple efficiently into a light guide.”
(Lieberman, 2007).
These features made LED a better choice for mobile LCDs, where battery life is the
primary limitation. (Lieberman, 2007) In fact, it has also won dominance in the general-
purpose market, leaving CCFL monitor to voltage-limited applications with higher
brightness requirement. (Lim, 2013)
The LED has long been misunderstood as only capable of rough jobs such as
backlighting LCD panels, decorating signboards and broadcasting advertisements on the
Times Square. This misconception is proven wrong with the new-born display
technology — OLED. In comparison to liquid crystal displays, OLED offers wider
viewing angle, higher brightness, truer color, lighter weight, thinner design and less
energy consumption. However, the temperamental chemistry involved in its production is
keeping the cost high above the averagely affordable level of desktop users. (Zaccaria,
2008) On the other hand, in mobile applications such as smartphones, where screens are
usually less pricy due to relatively smaller sizes, this has little impact. Statistically
speaking, the OLED shipment for cellphones is expected to rise eightfold from 2009 to
2015, according to M2 Presswire. (M2 Presswire, 2009) Plus, with an organic thin-film
transistor (OTFT) backplane, OLED screens can be made bendable like a piece of paper,
while LCD possesses no flexibility at all. (Steudel, 2012) As a matter of fact, curved
OLED TV has been put into mass production by the conglomerate from South Korea,
Samsung (Manama, 2013), which is also the largest OLED panel manufacturer in the
world (Business Wire, 2009). To sum it up, OLED will replace LCD, just like what the
latter has done to the CRT monitor. In addition, several cooperations predicted that
OLED panels would rule the monitor market before 2012. (Bulkeley, 2007
As human’s appetite for thinness, vividness and flexibility of the screen goes expanding,
and with touchable interfaces, including smartphones and tablets, getting popular around
the globe, a brand-new generation of display technology is surely on its way. The
evolution of displays, just like any other technology, will continue to go on. ()

Samsung's Beginnings
With only 30,000 won (about US$27), Lee Byung-chul started Samsung as a trading
company based in a city called Taegu in 1938. With 40 employees, Samsung began as a
grocery store, trading and exporting goods produced in and around the city. It sold dried
Korean fish and vegetables, as well as its own noodles.
1960 to 1980
In the 1960s, Samsung entered the electronics industry with the formation of several
electronics-focused divisions:

1980 to 2000
In 1980, Samsung entered the telecommunications hardware industry with the purchase
of Hanguk Jeonja Tongsin. Initially building telephone switchboards, Samsung expanded
into telephone and fax systems, which eventually shifted to mobile phone manufacturing.
In the early 1980s, Samsung expanded to Germany, Portugal, and New York. In 1982,
Samsung Printing Solutions was founded. This subsidiary of the company delivered
digital solutions to the printing industry. The following year, the company started
producing personal computers, and in 1984 Samsung's sales reached one trillion won.
Later in the decade, Samsung expanded to Tokyo and the United Kingdom, positioning
itself as a leader in semiconductor manufacturing with massive production of 256K
DRAM. In 1987, founder Lee Byung-chul passed away, and his son, Lee Kun-hee,
assumed control of Samsung. Soon after that, Samsung Semiconductor and
Telecommunications merged with Samsung Electronics. The merged organization
focused on home appliances, telecommunications, and semiconductors. The next decade
brought additional growth and achievements. Samsung soon became a world leader in
chip production, formed Samsung Motors, and began producing digital TVs. The
company also began investing heavily in the design and manufacture of components for
other companies. It sought to become the world's largest consumer electronics
manufacturer. Samsung Ventures was founded in 1999 to invest in startup companies
focusing on many of Samsung's core services.
2000 to Present
Samsung entered the phone market with the SPH-1300, an early touch-screen prototype
released in 2001. The company also developed the first speech-recognition phone in
2005.In the late 2000s and early 2010s, Samsung acquired companies that developed
technologies for electronic devices. In 2011, Samsung released the Galaxy S II, followed
in 2012 by the Galaxy S III, one of the world's most popular smartphones. The year 2012
also marked Samsung becoming the world's largest mobile phone maker and the
acquisition of mSpot to provide entertainment to Samsung device users. The company
made additional acquisitions in the following years, including organizations that would
help it expand its offerings in medical technology, smart TVs, OLED displays, home
automation, printing solutions, cloud solutions, payment solutions, and artificial
intelligence. In September 2014, Samsung announced the Gear VR, a virtual reality
device developed for use with the Galaxy Note 4. By 2015, Samsung had more U.S.
patents approved than any other company, with more than 7,500 utility patents granted
before the end of the year. In 2017, Samsung was given governmental permission to test
a self-driving car. The following year, Samsung announced that it would expand its
renewable energy plans and hire 40,000 employees over the next three years.

Sony group corporation
Sony Corporate - History. It was in 1946 that Mr. Masaru Ibuka and Mr. Akio Morita
together with a small team of passionate and committed group of employees started to
build “Tokyo Tsushin Kenkyujo” (Totsuko), or “Tokyo Telecommunications Research
Institute” into the well-known global conglomerate that it is today. The main objective of
the company was to design and create innovative products which would benefit the
people.
FIGURE 1 MR. AKIO MORITA AND MR. MASARUN IBUKA SONY GROUP DEVELOP
Mr. Akio Morita (left) and Mr. Masaru Ibuka (right).The company name of Sony was
created by combining two words of “sonus” and “sonny”. The word “sonus” in Latin
represents words like sound and sonic. The other word “sonny” means little son. Used in
combination, Sony is supposed to represent a very small group of young people who have
the energy and passion towards unlimited creations and innovative ideas. With the far-
sight of expanding worldwide, it was in 1958 that the company formally adopted “Sony
Corporation” as its corporate name. Easy to pronounce and read in any language, the
name Sony, which has a lively ring to it, fits comfortably with the spirit of freedom and
open-mindedness.

Types of display device
There are many kinds of types of display device so, that I will see to difference display
screens, between their:
• LED (Light emitting diode)
• CRT (Cathode ray tube)
• LCD (Liquid crystal display)

What is LED display how it works?
An LED display consists of red, green and blue LEDs mounted in a fixed pattern. These
three colours combine to form a pixel. By adjusting the intensity of the diodes, billions of
colours can be formed. When you look at the LED screen from a certain distance, the
array of coloured pixels are seen as an image.

LCD Display device
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,[1] instead using a backlight or reflector to produce
images in color or monochrome.[2] LCDs are available to display arbitrary images (as in a
general-purpose computer display) or fixed images with low information content, which can be
displayed or hidden. For instance: preset words, digits, and seven-segment displays, as in a
digital clock, are all good examples of devices with these displays. They use the same basic
technology, except that arbitrary images are made from a matrix of small pixels, while other
displays have larger elements. LCDs can either be normally on (positive) or off (negative),
depending on the polarizer arrangement. For example, a character positive LCD with a backlight
will have black lettering on a background that is the color of the backlight, and a character
negative LCD will have a black background with the letters being of the same color as the
backlight. Optical filters are added to white on blue LCDs to give them their characteristic
appearance.
LCDs are commonly used for portable electronic games, as viewfinders for digital cameras and
camcorders, in video projection systems, for electronic billboards, as monitors for computers,
and in flat-panel televisions
How work
LCD screens are an array of small segments called
pixels, which can be manipulated for information
displaying. Such displays have several layers,
where two panels, made of glass material free of
sodium and called substrate, play a crucial role.
The substrate contains a thin layer of liquid
crystals between them.

Applications, Advantages & Limitations of LCD
Application
• LCDs with a small number of segments, are used in digital watches and pocket
calculators, Small monochrome displays in personal organizers, or older laptop screens
• High-resolution color displays such as modern LCD computer monitors and
televisions;
Advantages:
•An LCD cell consumes only microwatts of power over a thousand times less than LED
displays.
• LCDs can operate on voltages as low as 2 to 3 V and are easily driven by MOS IC
drivers.
Limitations:
• They cannot be seen in the dark,
• They have a limited viewing angle;
• They can be operated in limited temperature range.
10
Cathode Ray Tube (CRT):
CRT stands for Cathode Ray Tube. CRT is a technology used in traditional computer
monitors and televisions. The image on CRT display is created by firing electrons from
the back of the tube of phosphorus located towards the front of the screen. Once the
electron heats the phosphorus, they light up, and they are projected on a screen. The color
you view on the screen is produced by a blend of red, blue and green light.
11
CRT Display: Advantages and Disadvantages
• Advantages:
• Offers greater resolution.
• Widest viewing angle when compared to any other technology.
• It is cheap as compared to LCD, PLASMA displays.
• Disadvantages:
• Thickness is much larger as compared to LCD, PLASMA display.
• Cannot be used for smaller displays like watches, calculators, portable devices.
• View area is less than the offered monitor size.
• It is more fragile and bulkier.

Application of Display Device
There are many kinds of display device application
• Television set.
• Computer monitors.
• Head-mounted displays, Heads-up displays and Virtual reality headsets.
• Broadcast reference monitor.
• Medical monitors.
• Mobile displays (for mobile devices)
• Smartphone displays (for smartphones)
• Video walls. ()
Television
This technology combines liquid crystals and polarizers to create images on the screen.
Generally, LCD TVs have three polarized glass panels known as substrates. It contains
liquid crystals in between them. These panels are in red, blue, and green colours.
Computer monitor
There are a lot of benefits to using a monitor, especially a high-quality monitor. It is
essential for a good image. Good computer monitor deals have higher levels of color
accuracy, full high definition support, high refresh rates, high resolutions, and many other
features. Used by Professionals and Non-Professionals These monitors are often used by
many professionals such as graphic designers, video editors, photographers, professional
gamers, just to name a few. A high-quality monitor can enhance your enjoyment of films
and improve your work efficiency. Not only that but you can also feel secure with its
many safety functions such as overheating and anti-glare protection.
Medical monitor
A medical display is a monitor that meets the high demands of medical imaging. They
usually come with special image-enhancing technologies to ensure consistent brightness
over the lifetime of the display, noise-free images, ergonomic reading and automated
compliance with DICOM and other medical standards.
13
Smart phone display
There are many display types used in smartphones: LCD, OLED, AMOLED, Super
AMOLED, TFT, IPS and a few others that are less frequently found on smartphones
nowadays, like TFT-LCD. One of the most frequently found on mid-to-high range
phones now is IPS-LCD.
Video wall
That's because the display technology used in video walls – such as LCD and LED – are
less susceptible to being “washed out” by ambient light. These displays also maintain
consistent brightness regardless of their size, while front-projected images become
dimmer and blurry when they are enlarged.

How its work
What is a display?
In computing, a display is a device with a screen that shows a rendered electronic image
made up of pixels that are illuminated in a way that distinguishes text and graphic
elements. Pixels are tiny areas of illumination
-- bright dots of light -- that can number in the
millions on a single display. Today, most
displays use colored pixels.
A display includes multiple layers of material
that together provide the structure necessary
to render an image onto the screen. The exact
components depend on the underlying display
technology. Displays, used in conjunction
with devices such as keyboards and
FIGURE 5 WHAT DO PIXELS LOOK LIKE
trackpads, allow users to interface with a
computer and view stored, generated or transmitted data in the form of text and graphics.
In some computers, such as laptops or tablets, the display is integrated into the unit, along
with the processor and other computer components. In other computer systems, such as
desktops, the display is packaged in a separate unit called a monitor, which is connected
to the computer either directly or indirectly over a network. A display is not the same
thing as a monitor. All monitors include displays, but not all displays are monitors. Even
so, the terms display and monitor are often used interchangeably, and they're both
sometimes called video display terminals (VDTs).
15
Whether the image signals are digital or analog, the computer must be able to
communicate with the display. With an integrated display, connectivity is established
through the computer's architecture.
If an external monitor is used, the computer and monitor must support the same
connectivity technology. Currently, there are four primary display technologies used to
facilitate communications:
Video Graphics Array (VGA). This was one of the original analog display standards
used extensively with CRT monitors. The first generation of VGA technology supported
a resolution of 640 x 480. Because this standard was unable to meet the demands of
newer displays, extended versions of VGA were introduced, such as Super VGA
(SVGA), Extended Graphics Array (XGA), and Ultra Extended Graphics Array (UXGA),
which can support resolutions up to 1600 x 1200. Despite these gains, VGA has been
steadily giving way to digital display technologies that can handle greater resolutions.
Digital Visual Interface (DVI). DVI is a newer technology than VGA. It can carry both
analog and digital signals, depending on the DVI type. It also offers better image quality,
delivering resolutions up to 2560 x 1600. There are three primary types of DVI systems:
DVI-A (analog only and rarely used), DVI-D (digital only) and DVI-I (digital and
analog).
DisplayPort (DP). DisplayPort is a digital display interface that was standardized by the
Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) as a high-performance replacement for
display technologies such as VGA and DVI. DisplayPort is extensible, supports high
resolutions and uses packetized data transmission like Ethernet. The latest versions of the
DisplayPort -- 1.3 and 1.4 -- can deliver resolutions up to 7680 x 4320.
16
Aspect ratio. This measurement is the ratio that compares an image's width and height.
Many of today's displays have an aspect ratio of 16:9, which is the same as high-
definition television (HDTV). Aspect ratios have varied over time as technologies
evolved.
Resolution. The resolution is the number of pixels displayed on the screen, typically
measured in terms of width and height. The higher the resolution, the better the image
detail. For example, a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (1080p) offers better quality than 1280 x
720 (720p).
Pixel density. The pixel density refers to the number of pixels per inch (ppi). The ppi is
based on the display size and resolution. For example, a 14-inch screen with a resolution
of 3024 x 1964 has a 258 ppi, but a 17-inch screen with the same resolution has only a
212 ppi. If the ppi gets too low, the display quality will suffer.
Refresh rate. Measured in hertz (Hz), the refresh rate is the number of times the display
is completely refreshed in a second. The higher the refresh rate, the smoother the
transitions between shifting images. Refresh rates typically range from 60 Hz to 120 Hz.
Some displays offer higher refresh rates, but those generally target specific use cases,
such as advanced graphics or gaming.
Image technology. This will primarily come down to choosing one of the available types
of LCD or LED display.
Connectivity. DisplayPort is generally favored over HDMI for computer monitors, with
DVI usually considered a third choice. (Connections such as Thunderbolt and USB-C
typically support DP connectivity.) VGA is seldom a consideration. ()
