 Hardware components
Hardware components with which the user interacts to generate necessary
instructions for the creation of required graphics.
Printers:
Pointer produce output by either impact or non impact methods.
Impact printer :
e.g.. Line printer
Non impact printer:
uses laser technique.
Dot matrix printer:
It contains wire pins .pins depend on quality of picture.

 Input devices
Keyboard:
Function keys allows to enter frequently used operations
on single key stroke.
Cursor control key used to select displayed objects or co-
ordinate positions.
Numeric keypad included for fast entry of numeric data.

Mouse:
It is a small hand operated box with two or three
buttons on the top and a ball or roller at its bottom.
There is a cursor in the shape of an arrow always
associated with a mouse.
Potentiometer attached to the ball estimates the
relative positions of the mouse.

Lecture by Miss.D.H.Kumbhar 5
Trackball :
Ball can be rotated with the fingers or palm of the hand to produce screen
cursor movement.
Potentiometer attached to the ball , measures the amount and directions of
rotation.
Space ball:
o Provides six degrees of freedom.
o It does not actually move.
o Strain gauge measures the amount of pressure applied to the space ball.
o Used for 3D positioning and selection operations in virtual reality systems,
modeling , animation , CAD.

Joysticks:
A joysticks consist of a small vertical
lever(stick)mounted on the base to steer the screen cursor
around.
Potentiometer and spring also mounted at the base.

Data glove:
Is a device to interact with animated artificial objects.
You wear a glove with sensors and electrical wires
hooked to a compatible computer.
As you rotate or move your hand and manipulate your
fingers, you can see the same on the monitor.

Lecture by Miss.D.H.Kumbhar 9
Digitizer:
Common device for drawing , painting or interactively
selecting co-ordinate positions on an object.

Lecture by Miss.D.H.Kumbhar 10
Image scanner:
Drawings ,graphs , color or black and white photos or text can be
stored for computer processing.
It uses passing mechanism that is optical scanning.

Light pen:
It is pencil shaped device used to select screen positions by detecting
the light coming from points on the CRT screen.
Disadvantages:
Cannot detect positions within black areas.
Due to background lightning sometime gives false result.
Lecture by Miss.D.H.Kumbhar 11
Voice system:
Speech recognizers are used in some graphics
workstations as input devices to accept voice commands.
System operate by matching an input against a predefined
dictionary of words and phrases.

 Touch panel/Touch screen:
Touch panel allows displayed objects or screen positions
to be selected with the touch of finger.
A typical application of touch panels is for the selection
of processing options that are represented with graphical icons.
Touch input can be recorded using optical , electrical or
acoustical methods.

Lecture by Miss.D.H.Kumbhar 13
Optical touch panel
Advantages:
1. Highest image quality.
2. Unlimited touch life.
3. Impervious to surface scratches.

Disadvantages:
• Accidental activation may occur.
• Sensitive to water , snow , rain.
• Dust , oil or grease buildup on
screen could impede light beam
causing malfunction.
Lecture by Miss.D.H.Kumbhar 14
Electrical touch panel
Advantages:
1. Can be activated with virtually any object.
2. Has tactile feel.
3. Lowest cost touch technology.
4. Lower power consumption.

Disadvantages:
5. Lower image clarity compared to other
touch technology.
6. Outer polyester film is vulnerable to damage
from scratching , Poking , sharp object.
Lecture by Miss.D.H.Kumbhar 15
Acoustical touch panel
Advantages:
1. Excellent image clarity.
2. High touch life.
3. Even better scratch resistive than capacitive

Disadvantages:
4. Will not activate with hard items(pen , credit
cards).
5. Water droplet may cause false reading.

 Display systems:
Display systems where the graphics are rendered in the
console screen of the computer.
The primary output device in a graphic system is a video
monitor.
Operations of most video monitors is based on standard
cathode ray tube.(CRT).

 Flat panel display
Refers to class of video devices that have reduced volume , weight
and power required compared to CRT.
Currently used in TV monitors , calculators , pocket video games ,
laptop , computers and advertisement boards etc.
 Two categories:

1.Emissive Display 2.Non-Emissive Display

(Eg. Plasma panel , LED) (Eg. LCD)
Lecture by Miss.D.H.Kumbhar 23
Emissive display:
Emissive are the devices that convert electrical energy into
light.

Non Emissive display:

It uses optical effects to convert sunlight or light from some
other source into graphics patterns.

Lecture by Miss.D.H.Kumbhar 24
 Plasma panel display
Also called as gas discharge display.
It consists of an array of small lights.
Lights are fluorescent in nature.

Lecture by Miss.D.H.Kumbhar 25
 Plasma panel display:
Advantages:
Large screen size is also possible.
Less volume.
Less weight.
Flicker free display.
Disadvantages:
Wiring requirement anode and cathode is complex.
Its addressing is also complex.
Lecture by Miss.D.H.Kumbhar 26
 LED(Light Emitting Diode):
Matrix of diodes is organized to form pixel position on the
display.
Picture definition is stored in a refresh buffer.
 Is in scan line refreshing of CRT , data is read from refresh
buffer.
Converted to voltage levels that are applied to the diodes to
produce the light pattern in the display.

Lecture by Miss.D.H.Kumbhar 27
 LCD(Liquid crystal display):
Definition:
“ A liquid crystal display is a thin, flat display device made up of any number of pixels arrayed in front of a
light source or reflector.”
-It uses very small amount of electric power.
- Is a temperature dependent.0-70 degree Celsius.

Advantages:
• Low power consumption.
• Small size
• Low cost
Disadvantages:
• Temperature dependent.
• Does not emit light
