liquid crystal display (LCD) - ✔️✔️Molecules of liquid crystal line up in a way that alters
their optical properties, creating images on the screen by transmitting or blocking light.
vram - ✔️✔️Graphics cards have their own memory which stores each pixel's
information.
• The more ______, the higher the resolution you can use.
• Desktop publishers, graphics artists, and gamers need lots of ______.
color depth - ✔️✔️Number of bits stored in a dot (pixel).
- The higher the number the more true the colors
-24-bit color is better than 8-bit color, but it needs more video card memory.
refresh rate - ✔️✔️The number of times per second the pixels are recharged - a higher
rate gives less flicker.
resolution - ✔️✔️Refers to the image sharpness.
- The more pixels, the better.
- Expressed in dots per inch (dpi)
Dot pitch (dp) - ✔️✔️The amount of space between adjacent pixels (square picture
elements) on screen.
-The closer the pixels, the crisper the image
-Get .25 or better
aspect ratio - ✔️✔️The proportional relationship of a display screen's width and height.
• Standard displays have a 4:3 aspect ratio (4 units wide to 3 units
high); wide-screen displays have 16:9 or 16:10.
active display area - ✔️✔️The size of a computer screen measured diagonally from
corner to corner in inches.

14.1 inches, and smartphones 2.5-4.1 inches).
,softcopy - ✔️✔️Data shown on a display screen or is in audio or voice form; it exists
only electronically.
