What does a monitor consist of?

Sometimes it becomes interesting what a particular device is made of. Thus, in this article we will look at the composition of the monitor, and also try to learn a lot about the presented design.

What materials is the body made of?

When purchasing, the buyer often pays attention to either a cheap option, which is ordinary plastic, or a more popular and expensive unit - made of special metal. Thus, let us first analyze the material of the first of them.

• First of all, the most common synthetic product is polycarbonate and ABS (the full name is so long that it has been given an abbreviation). Consequently, almost all equipment is made from this mixture of substances. If considered separately, it is worth understanding that the first of them improves the properties of the other. And the second, in turn, is itself quite fragile under the influence of sunlight and other things, although its price is very low. The technology by which parts are produced is casting. Thanks to this process, it is possible to cast even the most complex elements.
• Separately, it is worth emphasizing the use of metals such as aluminum and magnesium alloys. In this case, casting is impossible, and the products are the most bulky.

What's inside the monitor

A modern LCD screen usually includes the following components:

• The display consists of a special matrix. It consists of a glass plate, and between its layers there are liquid crystals. In addition, you should not forget about the light sources that are used for illumination. If we talk about the contact harness and frame, then their frame is most often made of plastic rigidity.

ATTENTION! Increasingly, you can notice that an LCD module is built in instead of this product. Consequently, it consists of LCD, glass and filters;

• The lamp needed for lighting is located inside the matrix;
• Directly the body of the entire device;
• A power supply that accepts, respectively, 220V and supplies voltage to the controller;
• Controller. It is necessary to reproduce the polling of the activation of various buttons, as well as to establish communication with a personal computer and to transmit signals such as pixel colors.

Interesting facts about monitors

When working or playing on a computer, the user does not even think about some issues that are directly related to the operating equipment.

1. So, avid gamers often strive to purchase a screen that has large parameters. This is explained by the fact that interaction with such a device is most comfortable. However, it is unlikely that a person can imagine the largest unit. But the diagonal of such a structure is 108 inches. This is truly the world's largest monitor. As for other parameters, the resolution is 1920 by 1080.
2. After such achievements, it is worth finding out where the path to creation began.But after the discovery of Ferdinand Braun, various experiments began, which ultimately led to modern designs.
3. Speaking about the future, we can touch on the topic of unusual functions. According to the manufacturers, a three-dimensional image will soon appear, which allows the user to view it in a 3D effect. In addition, a display will appear, which will make it possible to avoid glasses. That is, those people who have problems in this area will not have to worry about their health. Transparent screens are also promised to be produced; they will provide great opportunities during work.

Precautions when using monitors

Naturally, if you neglect some rules, a person who uses a PC can harm his health. So let's look at the main points that should be observed when interacting with the device.

• It is very important to prepare your workplace. It cannot be located near water: swimming pool, bathroom, basements where humidity is high.
• Since the screen is equipped with a three-pin plug, that is, the socket must be designed for a specific plug.
• To avoid overheating and ensure proper operation, do not turn off the fan. It is located on the back and bottom panels and has holes.
• If you do not have special knowledge and skills, you are prohibited from performing repairs yourself. In case of any malfunction, you should call a specialist or contact the service department.
• There are various types of slots on the surface of the unit. Accordingly, there is no need to insert foreign objects into them, as this can lead to breakdowns.
• During a thunderstorm, it is recommended to disconnect equipment directly from the network.
