FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

angst,' the fear of removing the computer case to install circuit board cards -- that often require adjustment of complicated IRQ settings -- 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 and modem), one Enhanced Parallel Port add-on (scanner or video camera, for example), and a joystick. More and more peripherals for multimedia computers come on the market every day.

With USB, up to 127 devices can run simultaneously on one computer. USB permits 'hot plug-in.' No need to shut down, plug in, reboot and run set up to install peripherals. No need to go through the reverse process to unplug a device. Bottom line: USB transforms today's 'Plug-and-Pray' into true Plug-and-Play!

Q:What is a USB hub ?

A:A USB hub provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus. A hub's upstream port

connects a hub to the host, usually a PC. Multiple downstream ports in a hub allows connection to another hub or device, such as a USB keyboard, camera or printer.

Q:What is a Liquid Crystal Display?

A:A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is an optical device that is commonly used to display ASCII

characters and images on digital items such as watches, calculators, portable game consoles, etc. LCD is the technology used for displays in notebooks and 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-display displays because it works on the principle 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 distance of a few

microns. The plates are filled with liquid crystal and then sealed together. The top plate is coloured with an RGB pattern to make the colour filter. Polarizers are then glued to both plates. This combination is sometimes called 'glass' or 'cell.' The LCD cell is assembled into a 'module' by adding the backlight, driver electronics and frame.

Q:What is polarization ?

A:Polarization is basically directing light to shine in one direction. Light is electromagnetic waves.

Electric and magnetic fields oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the propagation of the light beam. The direction of these fields is called the 'polarization direction'. Normal or non-polarized light
