[Display @DisplayAlliance]

Vocabulary: Delta-E- A score given to describe color accuracy of displays. A lower score corresponds to a higher accuracy

[Display @DisplayAlliance]

Vocabulary: UART- Universal asynchronous receiver/transmitters are devices for serial transmission with variable transfer rates and formats

[Display @DisplayAlliance]

Vocabulary: OLED- light emitting diode in which the photo-luminescent layer is an organic semiconductor film situated between two electrodes

[Display @DisplayAlliance]

Vocabulary: Burn in- Tendency of displays to retain imprints of overused colors, usually noticable after a screen is left on a static image

[Display @DisplayAlliance]

Vocabulary: Amorphous silicon- Noncrystalline form of silicon used in Thin Film Transistor LCD displays

[Display @DisplayAlliance]

Vocabulary: Burst dimming- Adjustable brightness for CCFLs through pulse widths modulating faster than the human eye can detect flickering

[Display @DisplayAlliance]

Vocabulary: Pulse width modulation- When a signal is turned on and off rapidly to simulate an average signal strength (ex. dimmer switches)

[Display @DisplayAlliance]

Vocabulary: Color depth- The number of bits used to describe the color of a pixel. "n" bits corresponds to 2^n possible colors

[Display @DisplayAlliance]

Vocabulary: CCFL Backlight- Cold cathode florescent lamps which produce light from methods other than the release of photons due to heat

[Display @DisplayAlliance]

Vocabulary: Lossy Compression- Method of reducing file size by purposefully inducing small amounts of quantization error in similar bits

[Display @DisplayAlliance]

Available LCD: S029GQ03NS https://t.co/AheAVfflf5

[Display @DisplayAlliance]

Vocabulary: Dithering- Form of noise induced to prevent large scale patterns on screen such as color banding by reducing quantization error

[Display @DisplayAlliance]

Vocabulary: Quantization error- Inaccuracy due to mapping a large set of data into a smaller set of numbers (used in compression algorithms)

[Display @DisplayAlliance]

Vocabulary- In Plane Switching: Method of improving view angle in which molecules move parallel to the panel plane instead of orthogonally
