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 transistors \
(TFTs) layer of an active 
matrix LCD.
 
Aspect ratio
The width-to-height ratio of the active area of a display. In general, m\
ost monitors have an aspect 
ratio of 4:3. Wide monitors or TVs have an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 16:10\
.
B
Backlight
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\
ration, the use of this term 
should be discouraged.

Glossary
 
C 
CCFL(cold cathode fluorescent light)
These are the fluorescent light tubes providing the light for the LCD mo\
dule. These tubes are 
generally very thin, approximately 2 mm in diameter.
 
Chromaticity
That part of color specification, which does not involve illuminance. Ch\
romaticity is two-dimensional 
and specified by pairs of numbers such as dominant wavelength and purity\
.
 
CIE (Commission International de IEclairage)
The International Commission on Illumination, the primary international \
organization concerned with 
color and color measurement.
 
Color temperature
A measurement of the color of light radiated by an object while it is be\
ing heated. This 
measurement is express in terms of absolute scale, (degrees Kelvin). L\
ower Kelvin temperatures 
such as 2400° K are red; higher temperatures such as 9300° K are b\
lue. Neutral temperature is 
white, at 6504° K. Philips monitors generally offers 9300° K, 6500\
° K, and user define.
 
Contrast
The luminance variation between light and dark areas in an image.
 
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 display device. The DVI specificat\
ion meets the needs of all 
segments of the PC industry (workstation, desktop, laptop, etc.) and w\
ill enable these different 
segments to unite around one monitor interface specification.
The DVI interface enables:
1.  Reduce signal loss and video noise in signal due to less signal conversi\
on.
2.  Independent from display technology, and can be used on LCD, Plasma, LCO\
S, etc.
3.  Plug and play through hot plug detection, EDID and DDC2B.
4.  Digital and Analog support in a single connector (DVI-I only).

E
Energy Star Computers Program
An energy conservation program launched by the US Environmental Protecti\
on Agency (EPA), 
promotes the manufacture and marketing of energy-efficient office automa\
tion equipment. 
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.

G
Gamma
Screen luminance as a function of video voltage approximately follows a \
mathematical power 
function of the input video signal, the exponent of which is called gamm\
a.
 
Grayscale
An achromatic scale ranging from black through a series of successively \
lighter grays to white. 
Such a series may be made up of steps, which appear to be equally distan\
t from one another. If the 
Analog/ Digital converter is 8 bit, then the monitor can display at most\
 2
8 = 256 levels. For a color 
monitor, R.G.B. each color hads 256 levels. Thus, total color can displa\
y is 256x256x256= 16.7 
million.
 
 
H 
Hue
The main attribute of a color that distinguishes it from other colors. F\
or example, a color may have a 
green, yellow, or purple hue. Color defined as having hue are know as ch\
romatic colors. White, 
black, and grays possess no hue.
I
IPS (In Plane Switching)
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.
 
 
Liquid crystal
The compound found in liquid crystal displays. Liquid crystal reacts pre\
dictably when electrically 
stimulated. This makes it the ideal compound to turn LCD pixels on or \
off. Liquid crystal is 
sometimes abbreviated as LC.
 
Luminance
A measure of the brightness or luminous intensity of light, usually expr\
essed in units of Candelas 
per square meter (cd/m2) or foot Lamberts. 1 fL=3.426 cd/m2.
 
RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE 
 
N
Nit
A unit of luminance equal to 1 cd/m2 or 0.292 ftL.
P
Pixel
PICture Element; the smallest element on a computerized CRT or LCD image\
, and hence a display.
 
Polarizer
A light filter which only allows light waves of a certain rotation throu\
gh. Polarized material with 
perpendicular filtering is used in LCDs to enclose the liquid crystal. T\
he liquid crystal is then used 
as the medium which twists the light waves 90° in order to allow the \
light to pass through or not.

R
Refresh rate
The number of times per second the screen is refreshed or redrawn. This \
number is usually stated 
in Hz (Hertz) or cycles per second. A rate of 60 Hz is equal to 60 tom\
es per second.
 
S 
 
sRGB 
 
sRGB is a standard for ensuring correct exchange of colors between diffe\
rent devices (e.g. digital 
cameras, monitors, printers, scanners, etc.)
Using a standard unified color space, sRGB will help represent pictures \
taken by an sRGB 
compatible device correctly on your sRGB enabled Philips monitors. In th\
at way, the colors are 
calibrated and you can rely on the correctness of the colors shown on yo\
ur screen.
Important with the use of sRGB is that the brightness and contrast of yo\
ur monitor is fixed to a 
predefined setting as well as the color gamut. Therefore it is important\
 to select the sRGB setting in 
the monitors OSD.
To do so, open the OSD by pressing the OK button on the front of your mo\
nitor. Move the down 
button to go to Color and press OK again. Use the right button to go to \
sRGB. Then move the down 
button and press OK again to exit the OSD.
After this, please do not change the brightness or contrast setting of y\
our monitor. If you change 
either of these, the monitor will exit the sRGB mode and go to a color t\
emperature setting of 6500K.
Other: 
USB plug: An upstream and a downstream USB plug is provide for users co\
nvenience.
T
TFT(thin film transistor)
Usually made from amorphous silicon (a-Si) and used as a switch to a c\
harge storage device 
located below each sub-pixel on an active matrix LCD.
