On-Screen Display

Note: sRGB is a standard for ensuring correct exchange of colors between different devices (e.g.

digital cameras, monitors, printers, scanners, etc.)

Using a standard unified color space, sRGB will help represent pictures taken by an sRGB compatible device correctly on your sRGB enabled Philips monitors. In that way, the colors are calibrated and you can rely on the correctness of the colors shown on your screen.

Important with the use of sRGB is that the brightness and contrast of your monitor is fixed to a predefined setting as well as the color gamut. Therefore it is important to select the sRGB setting in

The dimension of color that is referred to an achromatic scale, ranging from black to white, also called lightness or luminous reflectance. Because of confusion with saturation, the use of this term should be discouraged.

RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE

CCFL(cold cathode fluorescent light)

These are the fluorescent light tubes providing the light for the LCD module. These tubes are generally very thin, approximately 2 mm in diameter.

Chromaticity

That part of color specification, which does not involve illuminance. Chromaticity is two-dimensional and specified by pairs of numbers such as dominant wavelength and purity.

CIE (Commission International de I'Eclairage)

The International Commission on Illumination, the primary international organization concerned with color and color measurement.

Color temperature

A measurement of the color of light radiated by an object while it is being heated. This measurement is express in terms of absolute scale, (degrees Kelvin). Lower Kelvin temperatures such as 2400° K are red; higher temperatures such as 9300° K are blue. Neutral temperature is white, at 6504° K. Philips monitors generally offers 9300° K, 6500° K, and user define.

Pixel

PICture Element; the smallest element on a computerized CRT or LCD image, and hence a display.

Polarizer

A light filter which only allows light waves of a certain rotation through. Polarized material with perpendicular filtering is used in LCDs to enclose the liquid crystal. The liquid crystal is then used as the medium which twists the light waves 90° in order to allow the light to pass through or not.

USB or Universal Serial Bus

A smart plug for PC peripherals. USB automatically determines resources (like driver software and

bus bandwidth) required by peripherals. USB makes necessary resources available without user intervention.

● USB eliminates "case anxiety" -- the fear of removing the computer case to install add-on

peripherals. USB also eliminates adjustment of complicated IRQ settings when installing new peripherals.

● USB does away with "port gridlock." Without USB, PCs are normally limited to one printer,

two Com port devices (usually a mouse and modem), one Enhanced Parallel Port add-on (scanner or video camera, for example) and a joystick. More and more peripherals for multimedia computers arrive on the market every day. With USB, up to 127 devices can run simultaneously on a computer.

● USB permits "hot plug-in." There's no need to shut down, plug in, reboot and run set-up to

install peripherals. And no need to go through the reverse process to unplug a device.

In short, USB transforms today's "Plug-and-Pray" into true Plug-and-Play!

Hub

A Universal Serial Bus device that provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus.

Hubs are a key element in the plug-and-play architecture of USB. The Figure shows a typical hub. Hubs serve to simplify USB connectivity from the user's perspective providing low cost and complexity.

Hubs are wiring concentrators and enable the multiple attachment characteristics of USB. Attachment points are referred to as ports. Each hub converts a single attachment point into multiple attachment points. The architecture supports concatenation of multiple hubs.

The upstream port of a hub connects the hub towards the host. Each of the other downstream ports of a hub allows connection to another hub or function. Hubs can detect, attach and detach at each downstream port and enable the distribution of power to downstream devices. Each downstream port can be individually enabled and configured at either full or low speed. The hub isolates low speed ports from full speed signaling.

A hub consists of two portions: the Hub Controller and Hub Repeater. The repeater is a protocolcontrolled switch between the upstream port and downstream ports. It also has hardware support for reset and suspend/resume signaling. The controller provides the interface registers to allow communication to/from the host. Hub specific status and control commands permit the host to configure a hub and to monitor and control its ports.

Device

A logical or physical entity that performs a function. The actual entity described depends on the context of the reference. At the lowest level, device may refer to a single hardware component, as in a memory device. At a higher level, it may refer to a collection of hardware components that perform a particular function, such as a Universal Serial Bus interface device.
