The computer world is filled with a bunch of acronyms and today I will introduce you to two of them in respect to computer display technology. The CRT monitor or cathode ray tube is used to describe the how a display is drawn on a screen. This acronym applies to older television sets and older computer monitors. The picture above more a less a physical depiction of what CRT monitors looks like. In very basic terms the way this monitor works is a vacuum tube that has an electron gun which fires theses electrons unto a florescent screen.
*Think of electrons as a negatively charged particle.
LCD monitors displays a picture in very different manner. LCD monitors that you see are actually filed with liquid crystals hence the acronym LCD. These liquid crystal react to heat and will align themselves into a picture that the user sees.
Keep in mind that his is a very very basic way of how these two displays work, however if you would like to learn more please feel free to email me or post a comment and I will answer it as promptly as possible.
Thanks for stopping by :)
