(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A computer display, monitor or screen is a computer peripheral device capable of showing still or moving images generated by a computer and processed by a graphics card. Monitors generally conform to one or more display standards.As with television, several different hardware technologies exist for displaying the actual image :
A modern CRT display has considerable flexibility: it can often handle all resolutions from 640 by 480 pixels (640x480) up to 1600 by 1200 pixels (1600x1200) with 32-bit colour and a variety of refresh rates.
- Cathode ray tube (CRT)
- Liquid crystal display (LCD)
- Plasma display
- Projector
Some technical circles prefer the name "display" to the word "monitor" (perceived as ambiguous alongside the other senses of "monitor" meaning "machine-level debugger" or "thread synchronization mechanism"). Computer displays have also been known as visual display units or VDUs.
Early CRT-based VDUs without graphics capabilities gained the label 'glass teletypes', because of the similarity to their electromechanical predecessors.
Monochrome displays can only display one colour either as on or off. Grayscale displays can show only levels of a single colour. In both cases the display usually uses green, orange (amber) or gray (white).
Colour monitors may show either digital colour (each of the red, green and blue signals may be either on or off, giving eight possible colours: black, white, red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow) or analog colour (red, green and blue signals are continuously variable allowing the display of any combination). Digital monitors are sometimes known as TTL because the voltages on the red, green and blue inputs are compatible with TTL logic chips.
Most modern computer displays can show thousands or millions of different colours in the RGB colour space by combining red, green, and blue dots in varying intensities.
Some display technologies (especially LCD) have an inherent misregistration of the colour planes, that is, the centers of the red, green, and blue dots do not line up perfectly. In 2001, software designers began to exploit the misregistration to produce sharper images: Microsoft's ClearType™ provides an example.
Moving texts can appear in italics, even when the display resolution is too low to show static italics: a fractional time delay causes an apparent corresponding shift of a fraction of a pixel.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Initially, moving pictures meant only the movement that is perceived when a string of celluloid-recorded images are projected at a rate of about 16 or more frames per second (see persistence of vision). Today, motion pictures (or "movies") are an art form, as well as one of the most popular forms of entertainment.A feature film is usually defined as being more than 60 minutes in length.
Opportunities to see a feature film include:
- going to a movie theater
- watching it on television
- renting or buying a video tape or DVD
- downloading one from the Internet and watching it on a computer display
History of cinema
Originally moving picture film was shot at various speeds using hand-cranked cameras; then the speed for mechanized cameras and projectors was standardized at 16 frames per second, which was faster than much existing hand-cranked footage. A new standard speed, 24 frames per second, came with the introduction of sound. Improvements since the late 1800s include the mechanization of cameras, allowing them to record at a consistent speed, the invention of more sophisticated filmstocks and lenses, allowing directors to film in increasingly dim conditions, and the development of synch sound, allowing sound to be recorded at exactly the same speed as its corresponding video. Since the advent of many other media technologies, film may include a broad range of media — both linear and non-linear, dramatic and informational, motion and still (though progressive).
