Appendix Terminology Dot Pitch The monitor and screen consist of red, green and blue dots. A shorter distance between the dots produces a higher resolution. Dot pitch refers to the distance between the shortest distance between dots of the same color. Dot pitch is measured in millimeters. Vertical Frequency The monitor displays a single image many times per second (like a fluorescent light that flickers) to display an image for a viewer to see. The rate of a single image being displayed repeatedly per second is called vertical frequency or refresh rate. Vertical frequency is measured in Hz. E.g. 60Hz refers to a single image being displayed 60 times in one second. Horizontal Frequency The time required to scan a single line from the left to the right side of the screen is called a horizontal cycle. The reciprocal number of a horizontal cycle is called horizontal frequency. Horizontal frequency is measured in kHz. Non-interlace Mode and Interlace Mode Non-interlace mode (progressive scan) displays a horizontal line from the top to the bottom of a screen progressively. Interlace mode displays the odd number lines first and the even number lines next. Non-interlace mode is mainly used in monitors as it produces screen clarity and interlace mode is mainly used in TVs. Plug & Play Plug & Play is a function that allows the automatic exchange of information between a monitor and PC to produce an optimum display environment. The monitor uses VESA DDC (international standard) to execute Plug & Play. Resolution Resolution is the number of horizontal dots (pixels) and vertical dots (pixels) that form a screen. It represents the level of display detail. A higher resolution enables more data to be displayed on the screen and is useful to perform multiple tasks simultaneously. E.g. A resolution of 1920 X 1080 consists of 1,920 horizontal pixels (horizontal resolution) and 1,080 vertical pixels (vertical resolution). Appendix 166

Dot Pitch

The monitor and screen consist of red, green and blue dots. A shorter distance between the dots

produces a higher resolution. Dot pitch refers to the distance between the shortest distance between

dots of the same color. Dot pitch is measured in millimeters.

Vertical Frequency

The monitor displays a single image many times per second (like a fluorescent light that flickers) to

display an image for a viewer to see. The rate of a single image being displayed repeatedly per second

is called vertical frequency or refresh rate. Vertical frequency is measured in Hz.

E.g. 60Hz refers to a single image being displayed 60 times in one second.

Horizontal Frequency

The time required to scan a single line from the left to the right side of the screen is called a horizontal

cycle. The reciprocal number of a horizontal cycle is called horizontal frequency. Horizontal frequency

is measured in kHz.

Non-interlace Mode and Interlace Mode

Non-interlace mode (progressive scan) displays a horizontal line from the top to the bottom of a

screen progressively. Interlace mode displays the odd number lines first and the even number lines

next. Non-interlace mode is mainly used in monitors as it produces screen clarity and interlace mode

is mainly used in TVs.

Plug & Play

Plug & Play is a function that allows the automatic exchange of information between a monitor and PC

to produce an optimum display environment. The monitor uses VESA DDC (international standard) to

execute Plug & Play.

Resolution

Resolution is the number of horizontal dots (pixels) and vertical dots (pixels) that form a screen. It

represents the level of display detail. A higher resolution enables more data to be displayed on the

screen and is useful to perform multiple tasks simultaneously.

E.g. A resolution of 1920 X 1080 consists of 1,920 horizontal pixels (horizontal resolution) and 1,080

vertical pixels (vertical resolution).
