Synopsis

Generate sizzle and profitability in video imagingDriven by insatiable demand for new electronic tools and toys, video and data displays are becoming brighter, cheaper, more power efficient, bigger and -- in the case of hand-held devices – smaller than ever. Written by well-known video engineering author Jerry Whitaker, Video Display Engineering puts at your fingertips the know-how it takes to meet the needs of a sophisticated information society with improved video displays for consumer television, computers and telecommunications...medical imaging...industrial process control...automotive, aerospace, and military devices and systems...advertising and point-of-purchase.Loaded with technology-simplifying diagrams and data-packed tables, this expert guide helps you master the technology underlying each type of display system so you can design and service state-of-the-art display devices from giant stadium screens to pocket televisions. It’s also your in-depth introduction to the most recent innovations in mass-market imaging technology from RCA, Sharp, Sanyo, Mitsubishi, GE, Matsushita and other industry leaders.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

You're invited to the video display revolution!

Design any type of video display!

Over the past few years, digital display system technology everything from traditional cathode ray tubes (CRTs) to cutting-edge flat-panel liquid crystal displays (LCDs) -- has grown at an unprecedented rate, and it shows no sign of slowing down! Video Display Engineering delivers the information video engineers, technicians, and multimedia developers need to keep pace with and profit from these complex systems, which bridge the gap between personal computers and televisions.

Written by hands-on expert and well known author Jerry Whitaker, Video Display Engineering is a clear, easily read engineering blueprint to designing, specifying, maintaining, and installing video display devices for computer, professional, video, industrial, and television systems. Open Video Display Engineering and find: *The hands-on guidance you need to design any type of video display, from CRTs to flat panels *Valuable maintenance do's and don'ts *An eye-opening comparison of the latest display technologies spanning cutting-edge applications *A CD-ROM packed with test waveforms depicting display resolution, standards, and practices, plus valuable supporting documents

Utilizing an easy-to-follow, plain-English style, Video Display Engineering examines the underlying technology of each display type and includes examples of typical applications. Realizing their future potential and must-know status, the author includes an insightful overview of the flat-panel and projection display systems currently utilized in state-of-the-art web, video, and teleconferencing applications.

Video Display Engineering is the ideal vehicle for mastering a booming technology whose applications range from the giant screens of Times Square to pocket televisions.
