PERIPHERAL DEVICES
Peripherals are connected directly to a computer
but it does not contribute to the computer's primary
function, such as computing. It helps end users
access and use the functionalities of a computer. It
is commonly divided into three kinds: input devices,
output devices, and storage devices.
Input Devices
– An input device converts incoming data and
instructions into a pattern of electrical signals in
binary code that are comprehensible to a digital
computer. It is also used to enter data to a
computer. Input Devices includes:
Input Devices
Scanner works more like a
photocopy machine. It is used
when some information is
available on paper and it is to be
transferred to the hard disk of the
computer for further
manipulation.
Input Devices
Digitizer is also known as Tablet
or Graphics Tablet as it converts
graphics and pictorial data into
binary inputs. A graphic tablet
as digitizer is used for fine
works of drawing and image
manipulation applications.
Input Devices
Barcode device is used for reading bar
coded data (data in the form of light
and dark lines). Bar coded data is
generally used in labelling goods,
numbering the books, etc. It may be a
handheld scanner or may be
embedded in a stationary scanner.
Input Devices
Joystick is also a pointing device, which
is used to move the cursor position on
a monitor screen. It is a stick having a
spherical ball at its both lower and
upper ends. The lower spherical ball
moves in a socket. The joystick can be
moved in all four directions.
Input Devices

The microphone is used

for various applications
such as adding sound to
a multimedia presentation
or for mixing music.
Input Devices
Mouse is the most popular pointing
device. It is a very famous cursor-
control device having a small palm size
box with a round ball at its base,
which senses the movement of the
mouse and sends corresponding
signals to the CPU when the mouse
buttons are pressed.
Input Devices

Keyboard is the most common and

very popular input device which
helps to input data to the
computer. The layout of the
keyboard is like that of traditional
typewriter, although there are
some additional keys provided for
performing additional functions.
Output Devices are any peripheral that
receives data from a computer, usually for
display, projection, or physical reproduction.
For example, the image shows an inkjet
printer, an output device that can make a
hard copy of anything shown on the monitor.
Output Devices
Headphones sometimes referred to
as earphones, are a hardware output
device that either plugged into a
computer line out or speakers.
Headphones allow you to listen to
audio or watch a movie without
disturbing people around you.
Output Devices
A projector is an output device that
can take images generated by a
computer or Blu-ray player and
reproduce them by projection onto a
screen, wall, or another surface. In
most cases, the surface projected
onto is large, flat, and lightly
colored.
Output Devices

A monitor is made up of
circuitry, a screen, a power
supply, buttons to adjust
screen settings, and casing
that holds all of these
components.
Output Devices
A printer is an external hardware
output device that takes the electronic
data stored on a computer or other
device and generates a hard copy of it.
Types of printer includes 3D printer,
AIO (all-in-one) printer, Dot matrix
printer, Inkjet printer, Laser printer,
LED printer, MFP (multifunction printer)
Plotter, Thermal printer
Output Devices

Braille reader, also called a braille

display, is an electronic device that
allows a blind person to read the text
displayed on a computer monitor. The
computer sends the text to the output
device, where it's converted to Braille
and "displayed" by raising rounded
pins through a flat surface.
Output Devices
Plotter is a computer hardware device
much like a printer that is used for
printing vector graphics. Instead of
toner, plotters use a pen, pencil,
marker, or another writing tool to
draw multiple, continuous lines onto
paper rather than a series of dots like a
traditional printer.
Storage
devices
Storage Devices
A hard disk drive (also known as a hard drive,
HD, or HDD) stores files for the operating
system and software programs, as well as user
documents, such as photographs, text files,
videos, and audio. The hard drive uses
magnetic storage to record and retrieve digital
information to and from one or more fast-
spinning disks.
Storage Devices
Floppy Disk Also know as a diskette, floppy, or FD,
the floppy disk uses magnetic storage technology to
store information. Floppy disks were once a
common storage device for computers and lasted
from the mid-1970's through to the start of the 21st
century. The earliest floppies were 8-inch (203
mm) in size, but these were replaced by 5 1⁄4-inch
(13 3 mm) disk drives, and finally a 3 1⁄2 inch (90
mm) version.
Storage Devices
The compact disc, known for short as
a CD, is a form of optical storage, a
technology which employs lasers and
lights to read and write data. Initially
com pact discs were used purely for
music, but in the late 1980's they
began to be also used for computer
data storage.
Storage Devices
The DVD (digital versatile disc) and Blu-ray disc
(BD) are formats of digital optical disc data
storage which have superseded compa ct discs,
mainly because of their much greater storage
capacity. A Blu-ray disc, for example, can store
25 GB (gigabytes) of data on a single-layer disc
and 50 GB on a dual-layer disc. In comparison, a
standard CD is the same physical size, but only
holds 700 MB (megabytes) of digital data
Storage Devices
USB Flash Drive Also known as a thumb drive,
pen drive, flash-drive, memory stick, jump
drive, and USB stick, the USB flash drive is a
flash memory data storage device that
incorporates an integrated USB interface.
Flash memory is generally more efficient and
reliable than optical media, being smaller,
faster, and possessing much greater storage
capacity, as well as being more durable due
to a lack of moving parts.
Storage Devices
Secure Digital Card (SD Card) A common
type of memory card, SD cards are used in
multiple electronic devices, including digital
cameras and mobile phones. Although there
are different sizes, classes, and capacities
available, they all use a rectangular design
with one side "chipped off" to prevent the
card from being inserted into the camera or
other device the wrong way.
Storage Devices
Solid State Drive (SSD) A solid state drive uses
flash memory to store data and is sometimes
used in devices such as netbooks, laptop, and
desktop computers instead of a traditional
hard disk drive. The advantages of an SSD
over a HDD include a faster read/write speed,
noiseless operation, greater reliability, and
lower power consumption. The biggest
downside is cost, with an SSD offering lower
capacity than an equivalently priced HDD.
