FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)A: Think of USB as a smart plug for PC peripherals. USB automatically determinesresources (like driver software and bus bandwidth) required by peripherals. USBmakes necessary resources available without user intervention. There are three mainbenefits of USB. USB eliminates "case anxiety," the fear of removing the computercase to install circuit board cards -- that often requires adjustment of complicated IRQsettings -- for add-on peripherals. USB does away with "port gridlock." Without USB,PCs are normally limited to one printer, two Com port devices (usually a mouse andmodem), one Enhanced Parallel Port add-on (scanner or video camera, for example),and a joystick. More and more peripherals for multimedia computers come on themarket every day. With USB, up to 127 devices can run simultaneously on onecomputer. USB permits "hot plug-in." No need to shut down, plug in, reboot and runset up to install peripherals. No need to go through the reverse process to unplug adevice. Bottom line: USB transforms today's "Plug-and-Pray" into true Plug-and-Play!Please refer to glossary for more information about USB.Q: What is a USB hub ?A: A USB hub provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus. A hub'supstream port connects a hub to the host, usually a PC. Multiple downstream ports ina hub allows connection to another hub or device, such as a USB keyboard, cameraor printer.RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGELCD Panel TechnologyQ: What is a Liquid Crystal Display?A: A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is an optical device that is commonly used todisplay ASCII characters and images on digital items such as watches, calculators,portable game consoles, etc. LCD is the technology used for displays in notebooksand other small computers. Like light-emitting diode and gas-plasma technologies,LCD allows displays to be much thinner than cathode ray tube (CRT) technology.LCD consumes much less power than LED and gas-displays because it works on theprinciple of blocking light rather than emitting it.Q: How are LCDs made?A: LCDs are created from two glass plates separated from each other at a distanceof a few microns. The plates are filled with liquid crystal and then sealed together.The top plate is colored with an RGB pattern to make the color filter. Polarizers arethen glued to both plates. This combination is sometimes called 'glass' or 'cell.' TheLCD cell is assembled into a 'module' by adding the backlight, driver electronics andframe.file:///D|/My%20Documents/dfu/200W6/english/200W6/safety/saf_faq.htm (5 of 8)2005-06-28 1:43:59 PM
