  • Page 78 Glossary Glossary A B C D E Active matrix This is a kind of liquid crystal display structure in which switching transistors are attached to each pixel to control the on/off voltage. It produces a brighter and sharper display with a broader viewing angle than a passive matrix display.
  • Page 79 (degrees Kelvin). Lower Kelvin temperatures such as 2400° K are red; higher temperatures such as 9300° K are blue. Neutral temperature is white, at 6504° K. Philips monitors generally offers 9300° K, 6500° K, and user define. Contrast The luminance variation between light and dark areas in an image.
  • Page 80 Glossary Contrast ratio The ratio of luminance between the brightest white pattern and the darkest black pattern. D-SUB A VGA Analog input connector. Your monitor comes with a D-Sub cable. Digital Visual Interface (DVI) The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) specification provides a high-speed digital connection for visual data types that is display technology independent.
  • Page 81 Glossary promotes the manufacture and marketing of energy-efficient office automation equipment. Companies joining this program, must be willing to commit themselves to manufacture one or more products capable of going into a low -power state (< 30 W) either after a period of inactivity, or after a predetermined time selected by the user.
  • Page 82 Glossary A technique of improving the viewing angle of an LCD where the liquid crystal molecules are switched in the plane of the LCD layer rather than vertical to it. LCD (liquid crystal display) A display composed of liquid crystal suspended between two transparent sheets. The display is composed thousands of pixels which can be turned on or off with electrical stimulation.
  • Page 83 Microsoft’s already high Vista requirements from each and every monitor that leaves the factory–not just a few review samples. Only Philips goes to these lengths to deliver this exacting level of color accuracy and display quality in every new monitor.
  • Page 84 Using a standard unified color space, sRGB will help represent pictures taken by an sRGB compatible device correctly on your sRGB enabled Philips monitors. In that way, the colors are calibrated and you can rely on the correctness of the colors shown on your screen.
  • Page 85 Glossary Other: USB plug: An upstream and a downstream USB plug is provide for user's convenience. TFT(thin film transistor) Usually made from amorphous silicon (a-Si) and used as a switch to a charge storage device located below each sub-pixel on an active matrix LCD. USB or Universal Serial Bus A smart plug for PC peripherals.
  • Page 86 Glossary Attachment points are referred to as ports. Each hub converts a single attachment point into multiple attachment points. The architecture supports concatenation of multiple hubs. The upstream port of a hub connects the hub towards the host. Each of the other downstream ports of a hub allows connection to another hub or function.
  • Page 87 Glossary hub electrically farthest from the host that generates downstream data traffic from the hub. Downstream ports receive upstream data traffic. Upstream The direction of data flow towards the host. An upstream port is the port on a device electrically closest to the host that generates upstream data traffic from the hub.
