A
Active matrix 
 
This is a kind of liquid crystal display structure in which switching tr\
ansistors are attached to each 
pixel to control the on/off voltage. It produces a brighter and sharper \
display with a broader viewing 
angle than a passive matrix display. Also refer to TFT (thin film trans\
istor).
 
Amorphous silicon (a-Si)
A semiconductor material that is used to make the thin film...

The light source for a transmissive LCD. There are two techniques used i\
n nowaday LCD designs. 
Most TFT LCD panels use CCFLs (cold cathode fluorescent light) and a d\
iffuser panel directly 
behind the liquid crystal layer. New technology using Light Emitting Dio\
des (LED) are still under 
development.
 
Brightness
The dimension of color that is referred to an achromatic scale, ranging \
from black to white, also 
called lightness or luminous reflectance. Because of confusion with satu\...

Contrast ratio
The ratio of luminance between the brightest white pattern and the darke\
st black pattern.

D
D-SUB 
A VGA Analog input connector. Your monitor comes with a D-Sub cable.

Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) specification provides a high-speed\
 digital connection for visual 
data types that is display technology independent. The interface is prim\
arily focused at providing a 
connection between a computer and its...

Companies joining this program, must be willing to commit themselves to \
manufacture one or more 
products capable of going into a low -power state (< 30 W) either afte\
r a period of inactivity, or after 
a predetermined time selected by the user.

A technique of improving the viewing angle of an LCD where the liquid cr\
ystal molecules are 
switched in the plane of the LCD layer rather than vertical to it.
 
L
LCD (liquid crystal display)
A display composed of liquid crystal suspended between two transparent s\
heets. The display is 
composed thousands of pixels which can be turned on or off with electric\
al stimulation. Thus, 
colorful images/texts can be generated.

PerfecTune
PerfecTune is industry-leading, proprietary Philips testing and algorith\
m technology for display 
adjustment and fine tuning, an extensive process that ensures ultimate p\
erformance in compliance 
with a standard four times more stringent than Microsoft’s already high Vista requirements from 
each and every monitor that leaves the factory–not just a few review samples. Only Philips goes to 
these lengths to deliver this exacting level of color accuracy and displ\

Hubs are wiring concentrators and enable the multiple attachment charact\
eristics of USB. 
Attachment points are referred to as ports. Each hub converts a single a\
ttachment point into 
multiple attachment points. The architecture supports concatenation of m\
ultiple hubs. 
The upstream port of a hub connects the hub towards the host. Each of th\
e other downstream ports 
of a hub allows connection to another hub or function. Hubs can detect, \
attach and detach at each 
downstream port and...
