Q12. Write a note on VDU(Visual Display Unit)?

Ans- VDU is a more seasoned British term utilized to depict any gadget utilized with computers to show content and
pictures. For case, a flat-panel show and a projector are both illustrations of VDUs. In any case, VDU is most
commonly utilized to depict the CRT screen, a presently age-old standard that has been supplanted by flat-panel
show strategies like LED.

There is three types of VDU:

1. Liquid Crystal Displays


Liquid crystals are fluid materials that have a few optical properties of crystals. A show made of liquid
crystals acts like a cluster of little shades that transmit or square light. A shining light source called a
backdrop illumination, arranged behind the LCD screen, sparkles through the LCD, making thousands of
modest dabs of red, blue, and green that frame a color picture.
2. Cathode Ray Tube
Some time recently the 1990s, about all computer shows, tv sets, and video screens utilized cathode-ray
tube innovation. A CRT may be a thick glass vacuum tube, one conclusion of which could be a smoothed
screen with a phosphorus coating on the interior. Within the vacuum, a bar of electrons from a hot metal
fiber at the conclusion inverse to the screen strikes the phosphorus, creating a shine. An electronic
controlling component twists the pillar, causing it to check over and down the screen, “portray” an
arrangement of unmistakable pictures on it. Even though CRTs create high-quality pictures, LCD and other
unused innovations are much lighter and more secure and have driven the cathode-ray tube’s obsolescence.
3. Plasma screens
Plasma screens make a high-resolution picture by lighting up thousands of modest dabs (or “pixels”) with a
high-energy electron pillar. Plasmas combine three-pixel colors (red, green, and blue) to form the whole
range of colors, coming about in richer colors than LCD or CRT shows. Plasma shows are frequently very
large widescreens by and large utilized as TVs, but numerous plasmas can be utilized as computer shows.
Even though they are bigger and heavier than LCDs, plasmas are for the most part as they were almost six
inches thick. Plasma show units more often than not expand marginally more power.

Advantages

 The VDU is regularly not exceptionally expensive.


 It has good quality resolution.
 It has an Animation capability.
 Virtually boundless run of variable color capability.
 The present day VDUs are more slender, which implies less space.

Disadvantages

 Restricted screen measure which impacts character estimate and limits viable seeing distance.
 The screen is delicate; of course, you would like to use caution when cleaning.
Q13. Discuss different type of printers.

Ans- A printer is a hardware output device that is used to generate hard copy and print any document. A document
can be of any type such as a text file, image, or the combination of both. It accepts input command by users on a
computer or on other devices to print the documents.

There are some types of printer:

1. Dot-Matrix Printer
 Character printers that form characters and all kind of images as a pattern of dots.
 Print many special characters, different sizes of print and graphics such as charts and graphs.
 Impact printers can be used for generating multiple copies by using carbon paper or its equivalent.
 Slow, with speeds usually ranging between 30 to 600 characters per second.
 Cheap in both initial cost and cost of operation.

2. Inkjet Printers
 Character printers that form characters and all kinds of images by spraying small drops of ink on to
the paper
 Print head contains up to 64 tiny nozzles that can be selectively heated up in a few micro seconds by
an integrated circuit register
 To print a character, the printer selectively heats the appropriate set of nozzles as the print head
moves horizontally
 Can print many special characters, different sizes of print, and graphics such as
charts and graphsNon-impact printers. Hence, they cannot produce multiple copies of a document in
a single printing
 Can be both monochrome and color
 Slower than dot-matrix printers with speeds usually ranging between 40 to 300 characters per
second
 More expensive than a dot-matrix printer
3. Drum Printers
 Line printers that print one line at a time
 Have a solid cylindrical drum with character embossed on its surface in the form of circular bands
 Set of hammers mounted in front of the drum in such a manner that an inked ribbon and paper can
be placed between the hammers and the drum
 Can only print a pre-defined set of characters in a predefined style that is embosedon the drum
 Impact printers and usually monochrome
 Typical speeds are in the range of 300 to 2000 lines per minute

4. Leaser Printers
 Can print many special characters, different sizes of print, and graphics such as charts and graphs
 Are non-impact printers
 Most laser printers are monochrome, but color laser printers are also available
 Low speed laser printers can print 4 to 12 pages per minute. Very high-speed laser printers can print
500 to 1000 pages per minute
 More expensive than other printers
