PHASE 1 - RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

 CRT was first invented by the German

physicist Ferdinand Braun in 1897.

 First experiment of CRT resulted in

displaying geomatric shapes on screen.

 First use of CRT was made in

Televisions by Russian Scientist Boris
Rosing in 1907.
 EXAMPLE
CRT Display –
“Apple Leadership”

Apple's manufacture history of CRT

displays began in 1980. Apple II Business Computer

Second Generation of displays were

built into Lisa and Macintosh line
of computer in 1987.

Subsequently 3rd and 4th generation

CRT display came in. The Apple AudioVision
14 Display
 PHASE 2 - APPLICATIONS
 Text ,Image and graphics display systems for personal
and commercial usage.

 Medical Image processing and interpretation systems

in hospitals.

 Security oriented display systems in defense sector.

 Real time image processing systems for organizations

like NASA,ISRO etc.
PHASE 3 – APPLICATION BASED PRODUCTS

1) Monochrome CRT Monitors

 Very common type of computer
display in the period of 1960s to
1980s.

 One color computer display (mono

= one, chrome = color).

 Available in 3 colors as followed:

1) P1 Phosphor (Green)
2) P3 Phosphor (Amber)
3) P4 Phosphor (White)
2) Gray-Scale CRT Monitors

 Special type of monochrome monitor

capable of displaying different shades
of gray.

 Came in light for digital radiological

image processing.

 Initially their resolution were not so

high e.g. 1 MP.
3) Color CRT Monitors

Can display 16 to over 1 million

different colors.
NTSC/PAL 14-Inch
Also called as RGB monitors Color Monitor
because they accept three
separate signals -- red, green, and
blue.

Available for personal computers

as well as for television displays.
Samsung sam-14M
PHASE 4 - GROWTH

Started growing with black and white televisions and

computers at commercial level since 1930.

Growth got speed up with the advent of color television

and computer monitors.

In Q3 2003 increase in corporate buying had been

recorded.

Mass production got into picture with aggressive pricing

and promotion marketing strategies.
PHASE 5 – TECHNOLOGY MATURITY

 Terrific competition came in between by various CRT

monitor vendors.

 Growing market of LCD monitors knocking down the

CRT monitors sale.

 Growing phase of notebooks and laptops with the

changing Consumer preference.

 Due to less cost LCD Monitors production.

 LCD VS CRT

 Physical Size.
 Display Size.
 Power Consumption.
 Effect on Viewing.
 Color and Resolution.
 Response Time.
SAMSUNG Computing Devices
 Got entry in Indian market in 1995.
 Leading Competitor in CRT displays as well
LCD displays manufacturing.
.

 Decided to stop manufacturing CRT display

as CRT sales had dropped 11% in Q2,07 &
46% compared to previous year.
 LCD monitors, Notebooks meanwhile,
represent 88.2 percent of overall sales, and have
increased 34 percent versus a year ago.
PHASE 6 – DEGRADED TECHNOLOGY
CRT Monitor Usage confined to :
1) Medical Image Processing at the commercial level.
2) Personal Computer at consumer level.

NEW TECHNOLOGY - TOUCH SCREEN
MONITORS
PHASE 1 - RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

 Emerged in china by a leading touch screen manufacturer

IRTOUCH SYSTEMS

 A complete portion of hardware, which has a screen with an

in-built touch sensitive cover.

 Offered a complete product line of touch screens ranging

from 6.4' to 100’ for various commercial purpose.

 Widely recognized by international customers in U.S.A,

Korea, Japan, Europe and Australia.
 PHASE 2 - APPLICATIONS
 Initially used at the commercial level only, not at
consumer level.
 Technology being used in products like ATM, In-Vehicle
and transportation, Medical equipment.
PHASE 3 – APPLICATION BASED
PRODUCTS

Fashionable in commercial set-ups like restaurants,

airports, ATMs, industrial computerization, and in
computer-based training.

Gaming machine, ATM, Gas Pump, Industrial control

systems, Ticket machine, Boardroom presentation, Hotel
entertainment center. Weather forecast
PHASE 4 - GROWTH

Gradually, technology launched for household applications

also like monitors, televisions etc.
Monitors launched by co. like Samsung, LG, Dell, Acer,
Sony, HP, AOC, ViewSonic, etc. in India.
Looks like a normal monitor from the outside.
 CONTD.
 Any monitor size (10.4" to 32").
 Widescreen monitors also available.
 All-glass construction provides vandal resistance and
durability against scratches.
 Ideal for Indian conditions as unaffected by dust and
grease.

At present, the touch screen technology is at this stage. It

has not reached its maturity stage yet.
