An output device displays, prints and presents the results of a computer’s work. Types of Output Devices A display device is an output device that visually conveys texts, graphics and video information. A monitor is an example of an output device that can be used to display text. It can also display graphics and video. It is similar to a television set that accepts video signals from a computer and displays information on its screen. A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) projector uses its own light source to project what is displayed on the computer on a wall or projection screen. A digital light processing (DLP) projector uses tiny mirrors to reflect light which can be seen clearly in a well-lit room.

A photo printer is a colour printer that produces photo quality pictures. An image setter produces high quality output compared to an ordinary laser printer. An image setter is a high resolution output device that can transfer electronic text and graphics directly to film, plates or photo-sensitive paper. An audio output device produces music, speech, or other sounds. A pair of speakers is an audio output device that generates sound. The headphone is a pair of small speakers placed over the ears and plugged into a port on the sound card. A woofer or subwoofer is used to boost the low bass sound and is connected to the port on the sound card. wooferheadphonespeaker
- 9. ICTL for Secondary School - Computer Hardware Module 8 Activity 3: Storage Devices What Is Computer Storage? Information and documents are stored in computer storage so that it can be retrieved whenever they are needed later on. Computer storage is the storing of data in an electromagnetic form to be accessed by a computer processor. Types of Computer Storage 1. Primary storage 2. Secondary storage Primary Storage Primary storage is the main memory in a computer. It stores data and programs that can be accessed directly by the processor. Types Of Primary Storage There are two types of primary storage which are RAM and ROM. Hard Disk Thumb Drive Diskette CD ROM
- 10. ICTL for Secondary School - Computer Hardware Module 9 The Differences Between RAM And ROM Random-Access Memory (RAM) Read-Only Memory (ROM) .RAM is an acronym for Random- Access Memory which means the data and program in RAM can be read and written. ROM is an acronym for Read- Only Memory. The data or program in ROM can only be read but cannot be written at all RAM stores data during and after processing. RAM is also known as a working memory. ROM is another type of memory permanently stored inside the computer. The data in RAM can be read (retrieved) or written (stored). All the contents in ROM can be accessed and read but cannot be changed. RAM is volatile which means the programs and data in RAM are lost when the computer is powered off. ROM is non-volatile. It holds the programs and data when the computer is powered off. A computer uses RAM to hold temporary instructions and data needed to complete tasks. This enables the CPU (Central Processing Unit) to access instructions and data stored in the memory very quickly Programs in ROM have been pre- recorded. It can only be stored by the manufacturer once and it cannot be changed. .
- 11. ICTL for Secondary School - Computer Hardware Module 10 Secondary Storage Secondary storage is another alternative storage to save your work and documents. It is very useful to store programs and data for future use. It is non-volatile, which means that it does not need power to maintain the information stored in it. It will store the information until it is erased. Types Of Secondary Storage Magnetic Medium Magnetic Medium is a non-volatile storage medium. It can be any type of storage medium that utilizes magnetic patterns to represent information. The devices use disks that are coated with magnetically sensitive material. Examples of magnetic storage are: magnetic disk such as: o a floppy disk, used for off-line storage o hard disk, used for secondary storage o magnetic tape such as o video cassette, o audio storage reel-to-reel tape
- 12. ICTL for Secondary School - Computer Hardware Module 11 Optical Medium Optical Medium is a non-volatile storage media , holds content in digital form that are written and read by laser. These media include various types of CDs and DVDs. These following forms are often commonly used : Optical Media Description CD, CD-ROM, and DVD Read only storage, used for distribution of digital information such as music, video and computer programs. CD-R Write once storage, the data cannot be erased or written over once it is saved. CD-RW, DVD-RW, and DVD-RAM Slow to write but fast reading storage; it allows data that have been saved to be erased and rewritten Optical media has more advantages over magnetic media such as: • Disk Capacity. One optical disk holds about the equivalent of 500 floppy disks worth of data. • Durability. They are able to last for up to seven times as long as traditional storage media. Flash Memory Flash Memory is a solid-state, non-volatile, rewritable memory that functions like RAM and a hard disk drive. Flash memory store bits of electronic data in memory cells just like DRAM (Dynamic RAM) but it also works like a hard disk drive that when the power is turned off, the data remains in the memory. Flash memory cards and flash memory sticks are examples of flash memory. Flash memory cards are also used with digital cellular phones, MP3 players, digital video cameras and other portable digital devices. Flash memory is also called USB drive, thumb drive, pen drive or flash drive, are the up and coming players in the portable storage market. The advantages of flash memory are: • offers fast reading access times among the secondary storage devices, (though not as fast as RAM) • durable and requires low voltage. • light and small. The disadvantage is, it is more expensive than the magnetic disk of the same capacity.
