| Added Value/ Value Add |
The value that is added by customized system solutions. |
| Add-Ons |
Accessories |
| AGP-board |
Accelerated Graphics Port / graphics board that is connected to a PC interface which is optimised for graphics. |
|
Active display
|
Every individual pixel is activated constantly by its own transistor circuit. Shorter response times are the result, so that faster motion pictures are possible than with passive displays. |
|
BIOS Software
|
Basic Input-Output Software / software for the basic functions of a PC or a graphics board. |
|
Braun tube |
Cathode-ray tube fitted in televisions and computer monitors. |
|
BUS Systems |
Standardised interface in a PC system for installing additional boards. |
|
CCFL Inverter
|
Converts DC voltage into high AC voltage for operation of the CCFL tubes (Cold Cathode Fluorescence). |
|
Display Kits
|
Flat-panel displays without a housing, fitted with all the control components and cables; designed to be installed in equipment or machines. |
|
Embedded PC Board
|
Complete PC system on a printed circuit board. |
|
Interface (-board)
|
Interface/connection element between system components LC technologies |
|
LC-Technology |
Liquid Crystal technologies are all the technologies in which liquid crystals are used. |
|
LED
|
Light Emitting Diode: electronic component that is energised to emit light when current flows through it. |
|
LVDS
|
Low Voltage Differential Signaling / long-distance solution for use in displays, e.g. for information terminals in public transport systems: compression and transmission of digital display signals in accordance with the LVDS standard - for long distances up to 100 m. |
|
OLED
|
Organic Light Emitting Diode |
|
Panel Link Solutions |
(Panel link = Silicon Image product name) / compression and transmission of digital display signals in accordance with the TMDS standard (Transition Minimised Differential Signaling) - for distances up to about 5 m. |
|
Passive Displays
|
The pixels are only activated in rows for a short time and therefore only reach limited resolution levels and speeds. |
|
PC-Board
|
Personal Computer Boards are conductor platines that are built in PC Systems. |
| PID |
Public Information Display - large size TFTs with robust design for public advertising or information. |
|
Plasma technology |
Technology in which a gas is energised to produce light by applying an electric field. |
|
POI
|
Point of Information; use for the provision of information, e.g. information terminals at trade fairs or airports. |
|
POS
|
Point of Sales; use at points of sale, e.g. automatic ticket machines. |
|
Dot matrix display |
Display in which the information displayed is made up of individual dots. |
RGB converter board/
RGB converter
|
Conversion of the analog video signals of a graphics board. |
|
Single Source
|
Due to its individual nature, a product / system solution can only be bought from the original producer. |
|
TFT
|
Thin Film Transistor; the light permeability of every pixel is controlled by a separate transistor. This makes sure that the optical properties are much better than with conventional LCDs (liquid crystal displays). TFT technology is therefore a replacement for bulky tube monitors. |
|
Touch Controller
|
Converts the specific-position touch panel signal into a PC-compatible signal. |
