Question

Monitor is called the __


unit.​

Answer 1

• Monitor is called the Visual Display Unit.

Correct answer: Visual Display Unit (VDU).

A computer monitor is a output device which displays the information to user in the form of image/picture. In simple language, The Visual Display Unit is also called as Monitor. Monitor don't generate it's own generated images and pictures. It works according to output given by computer or any other electronic device. A monitor is a output unit of computer.

• A computer is an electronic programmable machine which according to instructions perform the activities. A computer can only understand binary language 0 and 1.

• There are several units in computer system which brings about the perfect control and co-ordination in computer system.

• Computer helps us to save our data, information, our files, photos, videos etc. Computers are today mainly used for storing information, Browsing, Internet activities, Creating presentations, Communication, Exploring world using internet and doing complex calculations.

• It is to be said that, The computer has been passed through the 5 generations. Each generation of computer brought major changes to the world of computers.

• Charles Babbage is a founder and known as father of Computers. He was mathematician, Mechanical engineer, philosopher and inventor. He is everything that first created a programmable computer. Because of this great invention, Today, we are living a digital life and using computers.

Components of computer:

There are 5 basis components of computer, which helps computer system to run properly without any interruption. A computer system is designed in such a way that, every byte of information inputted should be processed properly, Such that user should get the required output.

i) Input Unit

- Input units reads the data provided from input device.

- This data in the form of binary code is sent to the computer unit.

- Computer unit processes the information and provides the necessary output to the user.

ii) Output unit

- It accepts the information provided by computer system in binary codes.

- But, we humans can't understand that language, So, Output unit converts the information from binary language to Humans language.

- Output unit includes Monitor, Sound system etc.

iii) Storage unit

- Storing the data and information in memory provided to output unit as a history.

- Processing the files required to output unit while using programs, applications and games from storage devices.

IV) Central processing unit (CPU)

- Arithmetic logical unit and Logical unit are the important components of this system.

- Architecture of computer is designed in this CPU, such that, only supported devices can perform the operations. Like CPU designed by IBM cannot be used to run Mac OS.

V) Arithmetic and Logic unit (ALU)

- ALU is an important component of CPU.

- ALU receives the data for processing from the temporary storage from the files called as "registers".

- All processing and computations are done by the ALU

Answer 2

Answer:

Monitor:

Monitor is called as the visual display unit or the virtual display unit. It is the display unit of the computer and all the processes can be seen and done with the help of a monitor. A monitor is a output device.

Types of monitor:

There are different types of monitors such as LCD (liquid crystal display), LED (light emitting diode), and plasma monitors. Now various variants in led are also being released such as OLED (organic light emitting diode), AMOLED (Active matrix organic light emitting diode) and many more.
