Publisher's Note
A reference for people involved in the design, specification, installation, or maintenance of electronic display systems in computers, video, medicine, industry, the military, or consumer entertainment. Uses mathematics and technical diagrams to explain the basic principles, the underlying technology, and applications. Focuses on cathode ray tubes, still the most widely used, but also considers liquid crystal displays. Acidic paper. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

The first unified coverage of state-of-the-art TV and computer displays in a single book. Table of Contents: Display System Applications; Light, Vision, and Photometry; Principles of Optical Components; Cathode Ray Tubes; CRT-Based Projection Displays; Light-Valve Based Projection Displays; Solid-State Display Systems; Computing Display Systems; Special-Purpose Display Systems. Index. Illustrations.

With applications in computing and video as well as in medical, industrial, and military equipment, display technology is an exciting growth area of the information revolution. Here is the first single-volume reference to cover all aspects of display technology in an easy-to-read format accessible to all those involved in the design, specification, installation, and maintenance of electronic displays. Enhanced by numerous diagrams, the book examines and explains the operating principles of CRT-based projection displays, light-valve-based projections systems, solid-state computer and video displays, the requirementss of computer imaging and the quest for higher resolution, as well as special purpose display systems and experimental devices not yet on the market. With such exciting new developments as high-definition television and holographic displays at hand, this timely resource will be in great demand.
