Output Devices

Computer output devices receive information from the computer and present it to users in different forms like audio, visual, or hard copies. Common output devices include monitors, which display visual information, and printers, which produce hard copy outputs. Monitors can be LCD, LED, or CRT, while printers and plotters provide hard copy outputs. Speakers produce audio outputs and projectors display visual information onto large surfaces.

OUTPUT DEVICES

DEFINITION

COMPUTER OUTPUT DEVICES RECEIVE IN FORMATION FROM THE


COMPUTER AND CARRY DATA THAT HAS BEEN PROCESSED BY THE
COMPUTER TO THE USER .
OUTPUT DEVICES PROVIDE DATA IN DIFFERENT FORMS, SOME OF
WHICH INCLUDE AUDIO, VISUAL, AND HARD COPY MEDIA. THE
DEVICES ARE USUALLY USED FOR DISPLAY, PROJECTION, OR FOR
PHYSICAL REPRODUCTION . MONITORS AND PRINTERS ARE TWO OF
THE MOST COMMONLY-KNOWN OUTPUT DEVICES USED WITH A
COMPUTER.
TYPES OF OUTPUT DEVICES

• HARD COPY OUTPUT


• SOFT COPY OUTPUT
HARD COPY OUTPUT

These type of output are in print form on the paper or some material
that can be touched and carried for being shown to other. Unlike soft
copy output, these type of output does not need continuous supply of
power. The commonly used hard copy output devices are printer and
plotter.
SOFT COPY HARDWARE

The soft copy is a digital form of files and documents which can be saved or
stored in internal or external memory storage almost permanently. These soft
copies can be transferred or shared from one computer to another via Google
drives, email, or just by copying to pen drives, CDs, DVDs, or hard disk drives.
The soft copy is in digital format, which is not physically present, just like hard
copy output, i.e., papers, newspapers, magazines, etc.
MONITOR

A computer monitor is an output device that displays information in pictorial or


textual form. A discrete monitor comprises a visual display, support electronics,
power supply, housing, electrical connectors, and external user controls.
There are three type of monitor, they are:
 LCD Monitor
 CRT Monitor
 LED Monitor
CRT MONITOR
CRT means “Cathode Ray Tube”. Its main part is the Cathode Ray tube which is called the “Generally Picture
tube”. CRT monitors are much heavier in size as compared to LCD and LED monitors. Due to being heavy, they
have much trouble while moving and transporting from one place to another. Also, they need more space for
installation.

LCD MONITOR
LCD is known as ‘Liquid Crystal Display’ made of liquid crystals. It is the most used monitor worldwide, as it
requires less space, consumes less electricity, and produces relatively less heat than an old CRT monitor. LCD
monitors are thinner and much lighter in size and weight than CRT monitors. Due to this, it competes with LED
and OLED in the market.

LED MONITOR
LED’s full form is ‘Light Emitting Diode’ is the latest innovation in the market today’s market competing with
LCDs and Plasma Monitors. These types of monitors are slightly curved or flat panel displays that use light-
emitting diodes for backlighting on the screen instead of cold cathode fluorescent (CCFL) for back-lighting.
Speaker
Speakers are one of the most common output devices used with computer system. An expansion board that enables a
computer to manipulate output sound. Sound cards enable the computer to output sound through speakers connected
to the board. The purpose of speaker is to produce audio output that can be heard by listener. Nowadays speakers are
integrated in devices such as laptops, mobile, PDA which produce low quality sound. Speakers typically come in
pairs, which allow them to produce stereo sound form two separate audio channels. Some include four to seven (sub-
woofer) which creates realistic sound.

Projector
A projector is an output device that can take images generated by a computer or Blu-ray player and reproduce them
onto a screen, wall or other surface. Typically, the surface projected onto is large, flat, and lightly colored. For
example, you could use a projector to show a presentation on a large screen so that everyone in the room can see it.
Projectors can produce either still (slides) or moving images (videos).The first carousel slide projector was patented
on May 11, 1965 by a man named David Hansen. The digital projector we know today was created by Gene Dolgoff
in 1984, although he came up with the concept for it in 1968.
