 2.1 Introduction to Input and Output Devices

Devices?
 It can be defined as the components or peripeharls
which are attached to the computer to enter the data
and get the desired result.
 Examples:- Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Printer, and
others

 2.3 Keyboards

 Keyboard Was Invented By Christopher Latham Sholes

 A Keyboard is a human interface device which is

represented as layout of button or keys.

 Features of keyboard:-
1. Typewriter Keyboard with Numeric Keypad.
2. Special Purpose Keys.
3. Toggle And Combination Keys.
 DVORAK Keyboard

 Puts the most commonly

used keys at “home keys”
 Reduces distance of
finger stretches
 QWERTY Keyboard

•The QWERTY layout was originally designed for typewriters, not

computers, and was meant to slow typists to prevent typewriter
keys from jamming.
•The QWERTY layout is therefore considered inefficient because
it slows typing speeds.
Virtual Laser Keyboard

•The virtual laser

keyboard projects the
image of a QWERTY
keyboard on any
surface.

•Sensors detect typing

motions and the data is
transmitted to a
computing device via
Bluetooth technology.
 2.4 Pointing Devices

Light Pen
Touchpad
Mouse

Joystick
Pointing stick
 Mouse

 Roller ball mouse

 Less expensive
 Harder to keep clean

 Trackball
 Harder to control
 Stationary on desk

 Optical mouse
 Needs no mouse pad
 Doesn’t need cleaning
 More expensive
Pointing Stick

 A pointing stick is a
pressure-sensitive
device that resembles a
pencil eraser

 You move a pointing

stick with your
forefinger while using
your thumb to press
related keys
 Touchpad

Touchpad means a pointing device consisting of specialized

surface that can translate the motion and position of a user’s
fingers or a stylus to a relative position on a screen
Joystick

 Joystick is a pointing device,

which is used to move cursor
position on a monitor screen.
It is a stick having a spherical
ball at its both lower and
upper ends. The lower
spherical ball moves in a
socket. The joystick can be
moved in all four directions

 The function of joystick is

similar to that of a mouse. It
is mainly used in Computer
Aided Designing (CAD) and
playing computer games
 Light Pen

 It is handheld pointing
device
 A light sensitive device or
pen like device
 It is connected to a
computer by a wire
 A photocell on its front end
 When front of the
photocell touched with
monitor screen, it detects a
position on display screen
 The has a button, to select
and press
 PDA and other handheld
devices
 2.5 Stylus

Stylus
 small pen like pointer to draw directly on screen
 may use touch sensitive surface or magnetic detection
 Used in PDA, tablets PCs and drawing tables

Light Pen
 Now rarely used
 Uses light from screen to detect location

Both (Stylus and Light Pen)

 Very direct and obvious to use
 But can obscure screen
 2.6 Touch and Multi touch screen

 A touch screen is an input

device that allows users to
operate a PC by simply touching
the display screen
 Touch input is suitable for a
wide variety of computing
applications
 A touch screen can be used with
most PC systems as easily as
other input devices such as
track balls or touch pads
2.6 Touch and Multi touch screen

 Multi touch screen is a set of

interaction techniques which allow
computer users to control
graphical applications with several
fingers

 Multi touch screen interface

consists of a touch screen (screen
table, wall, etc) as well as software
that recognizes multiple
simultaneous touch points (e.g.
computer touchpad ATM), which
only one touch point
 2.7 Scanner and Reader

 Scanning devices translate images, texts, drawings, pictures

and similar items into a digital form for direct entry to the
computer. Images that have been processed can be displayed
on the screen, saved on the storage device and sent to other
computers.
 2.7 Scanner and Reader

 Reader is an electronic device

for reading printed barcodes

 Like a flatbed scanner, it

consists of a light sensor
translating optical impulses into
electrical ones

 Additionally, nearly all barcode

reader contain decoder circuitry
analyzing the barcode’s image
data provided by the sensor and
sending the barcode’s content to
the scanner’s output port
 Scanner

There are two technologies:

- optical recognition and
- magnetic recognition
 Optical Recognition

 This technology device, also

known as the optical reader,
uses light to scan images

 Examples of optical
recognition devices such as
Optical Mark Reader (OMR),
Fax Machine, Barcode
Reader, Optical Character
Reader and Optical
Handwriting Reader
Magnetic Recognition

 This uses magnetic methods to scan

magnetic writing.
 The technological device used is the
Magnetic Ink Character Reader
(MICR).
 The MICR reads the number (in
strange form) that is printed using
magnetic ink. The MICR is often
used in cheques to facilitate sorting,
as done by the Central Bank of
Malaysia and other banks.
 OUTPUT DEVICES

computer either in Softcopy or Hard Copy

 Audio output device can be

used to translates audio
information from the
computer into sounds that
people can understand

 For example speakers and

headphone
2.8 Audio & Video Devices

 Video input device that can

be used to entering full
motion recording into a
computer

 For example digital camera,

webcam and video capture

 Difference of LCD and LED monitor

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Light Emitting Diodes (LED)

LCD that consists of crystal liquid LED consists of LED matrices
matrix
LCD needs backdrop support / white LEDs do not require a backlight, the
backlight matrix that shapes the LED will
automatically generate their own light
so that the colors will appear
themselves
LCD has an arrow angle view of the LEDs that have a broader and thinner
LED. The angle view is owned by the viewing angle. The light emitted by the
LCD is narrower as the LCD panel size LED monitor is clearer and does not
is composed of several layers, so the require backlight assistance to emit
structure is somewhat thicker light.
LCD monitors have lower acuity than LED monitor will appear to have a
LED monitors clearer color contrast. Especially in
black and white, you will be able to
differentiate itself.
Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) Monitor
LED vs OLED
Difference of LED and OLED monitor
 Difference of LCD and LED monitor

Light Emitting Diodes (LED) Organic Light Emitting Diodes

(OLED)
LEDs function by passing electrons OLED displays, on the other hand, are
through a semiconductor to produce organic compounds that light up when
light. an electric current is passed through
them
LED displays are basically LCD screens OLED displays, on the other hand,
with LED backlighting, they tend to be cannot match the brightness of LED
brighter screens
LEDs is a change in picture quality OLEDs are pricier is that they offer
when viewed away from the center better viewing angles and the picture
quality remains the same irrespective of
the viewing angle
LED displays come with a standard OLEDs are capable of a 120 Hz refresh
refresh rate of 60Hz rate
 2.11 Terminals

 The terminal is an input (and output) device that connects you to

a mainframe or other types of computers, called a host computer
or server. There are three types of terminal, as shown in Table
below.
 2.13 Interactive Whiteboard

 An Interactive whiteboard
(IWB) is a hardware device
that is similar to a whiteboard
that is found in schools and
also in businesses.
 It transmits any information
written it to a computer or
multiple computers.
 The first IWB IWBs were
designed and manufactured
for use in the office.
 2.14 Others Input and Output Devices

 There are other input

devices that can receive
input in the form of
audio, video, electronic
pictures, senses and
human biology.

enable the use of
multimedia and there
are some used for
security objectives, such
as the concept of
biometry.
