    A
    Active matrix 
     
    This is a kind of liquid crystal display structure in which switching tr\
    ansistors 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. Also refer to TFT (thin film trans\
    istor).
     
    Amorphous silicon (a-Si)
    A semiconductor material that is used to make the thin film transistors \
    (TFTs) layer of an active 
    matrix LCD.
     
    Aspect ratio
    The width-to-height ratio of the active area of a display. In general, m\
    ost monitors have an aspect 
    ratio of 4:3. Wide monitors or TVs have an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 16:10\

    The light source for a transmissive LCD. There are two techniques used i\
    n nowaday LCD designs. 
    Most TFT LCD panels use CCFLs (cold cathode fluorescent light) and a d\
    iffuser panel directly 
    behind the liquid crystal layer. New technology using Light Emitting Dio\
    des (LED) are still under 
    development.
     
    Brightness
    The dimension of color that is referred to an achromatic scale, ranging \
    from black to white, also 
    called lightness or luminous reflectance. Because of confusion with satu\
    ration, the use of this term 
    should be discouraged.

    Grayscale
    An achromatic scale ranging from black through a series of successively \
    lighter grays to white. 
    Such a series may be made up of steps, which appear to be equally distan\
    t from one another. If the 
    Analog/ Digital converter is 8 bit, then the monitor can display at most\
     2
    8 = 256 levels. For a color 
    monitor, R.G.B. each color hads 256 levels. Thus, total color can displa\

    sRGB 
     
    sRGB is a standard for ensuring correct exchange of colors between diffe\
    rent devices (e.g. digital 
    cameras, monitors, printers, scanners, etc.)
    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 th\
    at way, the colors are 
    calibrated and you can rely on the correctness of the colors shown on yo\
    ur screen.
    Important with the use of sRGB is that the brightness and contrast of yo\
    ur monitor is fixed to a 
    predefined setting as well as the color gamut. Therefore it is important\
     to select the sRGB setting in 
    the monitors OSD.
    To do so, open the OSD by pressing the OK button on the front of your mo\
    nitor. Move the down 
    button to go to Color and press OK again. Use the right button to go to \
    sRGB. Then move the down 
    button and press OK again to exit the OSD.
    After this, please do not change the brightness or contrast setting of y\

    USB or Universal Serial Bus
    A smart plug for PC peripherals. USB automatically determines resources (like driver software and 
    bus bandwidth) required by peripherals. USB makes necessary resources a\
    vailable without user 
    intervention.
    µUSB eliminates case anxiety -- the fear of removing the computer case \
    to install add-on 
    peripherals. USB also eliminates adjustment of complicated IRQ settings \
    when installing 
    new peripherals. 
    µUSB does away with port gridlock. Without USB, PCs are normally limite\
    d to one printer, 
    two Com port devices (usually a mouse and modem), one Enhanced Paralle\
    l Port add-on 
    (scanner or video camera, for example) and a joystick. More and more p\
    eripherals for 
    multimedia computers arrive on the market every day. With USB, up to 127\
     devices can run 
    simultaneously on a computer. 
    µUSB permits hot plug-in. Theres no need to shut down, plug in, reboot\
     and run set-up to 
    install peripherals. And no need to go through the reverse process to un\
    plug a device. 
    In short, USB transforms todays Plug-and-Pray into true Plug-and-Play\
    ! 
    Hub
     
    A Universal Serial Bus device that provides additional connections to th\
    e Universal Serial Bus. 
    Hubs are a key element in the plug-and-play architecture of USB. The Fig\
    ure shows a typical hub. 
    Hubs serve to simplify USB connectivity from the users perspective prov\
    iding low cost and 
    complexity.

    Hubs are wiring concentrators and enable the multiple attachment charact\
    eristics of USB. 
    Attachment points are referred to as ports. Each hub converts a single a\
    ttachment point into 
    multiple attachment points. The architecture supports concatenation of m\
    ultiple hubs. 
    The upstream port of a hub connects the hub towards the host. Each of th\
    e other downstream ports 
    of a hub allows connection to another hub or function. Hubs can detect, \
    attach and detach at each 
    downstream port and enable the distribution of power to downstream devic\
    es. Each downstream 
    port can be individually enabled and configured at either full or low sp\
    eed. The hub isolates low 
    speed ports from full speed signaling. 
    A hub consists of two portions: the Hub Controller and Hub Repeater. The\
     repeater is a protocol-
    controlled switch between the upstream port and downstream ports. It als\
    o has hardware support 
    for reset and suspend/resume signaling. The controller provides the inte\
    rface registers to allow 
    communication to/from the host. Hub specific status and control commands\
     permit the host to 
    configure a hub and to monitor and control its ports. 
    Device 
    A logical or physical entity that performs a function. The actual entity\
     described depends on the 
    context of the reference. At the lowest level, device may refer to a sin\
    gle hardware component, as 
    in a memory device. At a higher level, it may refer to a collection of h\
    ardware components that 
    perform a particular function, such as a Universal Serial Bus interface \
    device. At an even higher 
    level, device may refer to the function performed by an entity attached \
    to the Universal Serial Bus; 
    for example, a data/FAX modem device. Devices may be physical, electrica\
    l, addressable, and 
    logical.
