Technical Terms - Hardware (A-Z) - Active-Matrix

What technology is used in LCD displays, such as laptop screens, and flat screen monitors?

• Plasma

• Active-matrix

• LED

• Passive-matrix

How is the brightness of each pixel controlled in an active-matrix display?

• By changing the type of TFTs used

• By adjusting the screen resolution

• By increasing the number of pixels

• By modifying the electrical charge of the corresponding capacitors

What colors are emitted by the individual capacitors in an active-matrix display?

• Orange, Purple, Green

• Red, Green, Blue

• Red, Yellow, Blue

• Black, White, Gray

What is the main advantage of an active-matrix display over a passive-matrix display?

• Larger screen size

• Faster response time

• Higher cost

• Better energy efficiency

What issue does the fast switching of TFTs in an active-matrix display prevent?

• Image blurring

• Color distortion

• Screen flickering

• Cursor ghosting

Why do active-matrix screens typically exhibit more even brightness and color across the screen?

• Due to the control of each pixel individually

• Due to the screen size

• Due to the use of passive technology

• Due to the lack of capacitors

What type of technology do most modern computer monitors, laptop screens, and LCD televisions use?

• CRT

• Active-matrix

• OLED

• Passive-matrix

What does the term 'active-matrix' refer to in the context of displays?

• The type of TFTs used

• The size of the screen

• The passive nature of the capacitors

• The active nature of the capacitors

What can an active-matrix monitor display more clearly than a passive-matrix display?

• Still images

• Graphs and charts

• Text documents

• Motion and fast-moving images

What is a key benefit of active-matrix technology in terms of displaying fast-moving images?

• Reduced color accuracy

• Enhanced motion clarity

• Increased screen resolution

• Slower response time
