Distinguish between the following:CRT and LCD, OCR and OMR.
(a) CRT :- A display unit built around the vacuum tube containing one or more electron guns whose electron beams rapidly sweep horizontally across the inside of the front surface of the tube which is coated with a material that glows when irradiated. WHILE
LCD : - A type of display that uses a liquid compound having a polar molecular structure. sandwiched between two transparent electrodes. When an electric field is applied, the molecules align with the field forming a crystalline arrangement that polarizes the light passing through it. A polarized filter laminated over the electrodes locks polarized light. In this way, a grid of electrodes can selectively tum on” a cell,, or a pixel, containing the liquid crystal material turning it dark. (b) OCR :- Type of scanning technology that reads special pre-printed characters and converts then into computer usable form, while OMR :-Scanning technology that reads pencil marks and converts them into computer usable form.
