Monitors
A monitor is a peripheral device which displays computer output on a screen.
Screen output is referred to as soft copy. Types of monitors:
◦ Cathode-ray tube (CRT)◦ Liquid Crystal Display (LCD or flat-pan
el)
CRT LCD
![Page 31: chapter6,Input and Hardware,Basic Information Technology](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/588957911a28abef658b5113/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
34
Monitors CRT
◦cathode ray tube electron gun shoots a stream of electrons at a
specially phosphor-coated screen on impact, the phosphor flares up for a fraction of
a second electron gun sweeps across the screen many
times a second LCD
◦ liquid crystal display one of several types of “flat-panel” displays forms output by solidifying crystals and
“backlighting” the image with a light source◦TV sets are CRTs and many desktop
monitors use this technology ◦LCD is primarily used for laptops and other
portable devices
![Page 32: chapter6,Input and Hardware,Basic Information Technology](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/588957911a28abef658b5113/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
35
Video Display Terminology Pixel
◦ picture element (smallest unit of an image, basically a single dot on the screen)
Resolution ◦ number of pixels in the image ◦ Common resolution size is
1024x768 ◦ Refresh rate
how often a CRT’s electron gun rescans
LCD displays do not use an electron gun, so do not perform refreshing
The CRT electron gun “shoots” 3 electrons at the screen representing the amount of red, green and blue for the pixel

How Can It Be Prevented?
Ensure that the operator has a comfortable sitting position sufficiently flexible to reach, use, and observe the display screen, keyboard, and document.
Provide posture support for the back, arms, legs, and feet, and adjustable display screens and keyboards.
Ensure that the Video Display Terminals (VDT) tables or desk are vertically adjustable to allow for operator adjustment of the screen and keyboard.
Ensure proper chair height and support to the lower region of the back.
Ensure that document holders are used to allow the operator to position and view material without straining the eyes or neck, shoulder, and back muscles.

What is Ergonomics? ERGO=“work”
NOMICS=“rules” or “laws”
Ergonomics literally means “the laws of work”
![Page 61: chapter6,Input and Hardware,Basic Information Technology](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/588957911a28abef658b5113/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Ergonomics is the science (and art) of fitting the work environment of the employee. By improving the match between the work environment and the employee, you can expect improved employee comfort, reduce changes for occupational injuries, improved productivity, and improved employee job satisfaction.
The Ergonomics
![Page 62: chapter6,Input and Hardware,Basic Information Technology](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/588957911a28abef658b5113/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
What is Ergonomics?
OSHA defines ergonomics as the science of “designing the job to fit the worker, instead of forcing the worker to fit the job.”

The goal of ergonomic is to design jobs to fit people. Something is ergonomically design, if its optimized to fit people. this means taking account of differences such as size, strength and ability to handle information for a wide range of users. Then the tasks, The workplace and the tools are designed around these differences.

Physical Stressors Physical stressors place pressure or stress
on parts of the body:◦ Joints, muscles, nerves, tendons, bones
Sometimes these injuries are referred to as “Cumulative Trauma Disorders” (CTDs) or “Repetitive Strain Injuries” (RSIs)
![Page 74: chapter6,Input and Hardware,Basic Information Technology](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/588957911a28abef658b5113/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs)
Cumulative = occurring gradually over a period of weeks, months, or years
Trauma = bodily injury to nerves, tissues, tendons, or joints
Disorders = physical ailments or abnormal conditions

Risk Factors The main risk factors for office-related
CTDs are: Repetition Awkward positions or posture Excessive pressure or force
Another risk factor for CTDs would be: Vibration

Risk Factors: Repetition The majority of CTDs are caused by
repetitive motions that would not result in injury if only performed once. Thousands of keystrokes typing Hours of filing, day after day Stamping dozens of papers Frequent lifting Repeated motions with computer mouse
