Flat panel displays are very thin displays, commonly used for portable computers. Technologies used for flat panel displays include, but are not limited to, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and gas plasma. Liquid Crystal Display are the most common type of flat panel displays. In LCD displays, an electric current passes through a liquid crystal solution that is trapped between two sheets of polarizing material. The crystals align themselves so that light cannot pass through, producing an image on the screen. LCD flat panel displays can be monochrome or color. Color displays can be passive matrix or active matrix. Passive matrix displays use a grid of horizontal and vertical wires with an LCD element at each intersection. Examples of passive matrix technology are Dual Scan Super-Twisted Nematic (DSTN), Color Super-Twisted Nematic (CSTN), High-Performance Addressing (HPA), Fast Response Super-Twisted Nematic (FRSTN), and Plasma Addressed Liquid Crystal (PALC) displays. In active matrix displays, each pixel has a transistor that is directly switched on or off, improving response times. The most common type of active matrix display is Thin Film Transistor (TFT). Gas Plasma flat panel displays are active matrix displays that consist of an array of pixels each consisting of three subpixels (red, blue, and green). Gas in the plasma state reacts with the subpixels to display the appropriate color. Plasma displays are backlit and produce bright, crisp images. Products & Services
Industrial computers are similar to personal computers (PC), but they are intended for use on a factory floor or in other harsh environments.
Human machine interfaces (HMI) are operator interface terminals with which users interact in order to control other devices.
Computer workstations are client computers that connect to a network and share data with other machines. They are used in applications such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), graphic design, software development, medical imaging, and point of sale (POS) systems.
Desktop personal computers (PCs) are small, relatively inexpensive computers that are designed for individual users. Typically, these devices include a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals.
Handheld computers are portable devices including notebook and subnotebook computers, palmtops, and PDAs.
