Tracing the journey from CRT to plasma gas

This about the history of computer monitor. Tracing the journey from CRT to plasma gas can be seen below.

WHAT happens to play the computer but without a monitor. Of course it is impossible to run the activity. Moreover, whose name is a device supporting computer monitors.

So obviously true, without a monitor, like a vehicle without wheels. So the internet let alone want to play, see the boot screen just is not possible without the presence of a monitor. Talk monitors, of course there are the origins and how its development started from a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube / tube), Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to plasma gas.



In 1855, Heinrich Geibler, German first found monitors that use cathode ray or called the Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) display technology aka tube. Although now outdated, these monitors are a boon into the early days of the father of the monitor tube. In fact, in this era of the 2000s, a number are still using this type of monitor.

Box-shaped, like a television, weight, large size, so it is not efficient to the placement and condition of the narrow room. Indeed, physically monitor it has the shape of a television screen. In fact, CRT or tube display technology, the first time you use it to the television screen.

Remarkably then, the computer was able to connect to the TV, playing computer games could be to watch tv shows. However, there was still limited resolution of the monitor, which can only display 40 characters across the screen horizontally.

Because its function is different, departing from there, Heinrich Geibler creating a computer monitor, which serves as a means of displaying data and information. Said monitor itself is taken from the Latin term meaning for reminders .

The monitor also has a useful function for the output device between your computer interacts with the user or users, or which is known as a user. So the monitor can be said to be one of the most important hardware of a computer.

Monitor developments
Because many weaknesses, 33 years later, an Austrian chemist, Friedrich Reinitzer find LCD monitor technology, which is a combination of CRT and LCD.

LCD technology itself uses a type of liquid crystal that can fluoresce. He was the forerunner to the birth laying foundation monitor screen such as LED, Plasma gas, as well as OLED used today.

Today, after the appearance of the monitor tube, then present other monitors such as graphics or mono monitor MGA / MDA which has a resolution of 720x350, CGA monitor with a resolution of 160x200 up to 640x200, and equipped with the capability of up to 16 colors.

The CGA monitors appeared in the early 1980s. Afterwards appeared EGA monitor with a resolution of 640x350, which continues to endure before finally his time to end the presence of a Windows computer.

Entering the era of Windows computers, monitors are introduced as a standard VGA monitor is used. VGA monitor and the generation after that as PGA, SVGA or XGA become a standard analog video signal RGB (Red Green Blue) and continuous voltage and range, especially on the coloring, so it can display full color.

Further, born LCD monitor, the technology used is no longer a cathode tube, but the liquid crystal. Thanks to the technology with liquid crystals, the LCD monitor can have a high resolution CRT monitors exceeded.

After what has been reviewed on the history of tube monitors, of course, technology will never stop as long as people use their minds to think.

Likewise with this monitor, as long as technology continues to evolve, to continue the findings of other recent models of monitors, which is certainly much more sophisticated than what we now enjoy. Just wait.!!!
