TFT(thin film transistor)

Glossary

USB plug: An upstream and a downstream USB plug is provide for user's convenience.

T

TFT(thin film transistor)

Usually made from amorphous silicon (a-Si) and used as a switch to a charge storage device located below each sub-pixel on an active matrix LCD.

U

USB or Universal Serial Bus

A smart plug for PC peripherals. USB automatically determines resources (like driver software and bus bandwidth) required by peripherals. USB makes necessary resources available without user intervention.

●USB eliminates "case anxiety" -- the fear of removing the computer case to install add-on peripherals. USB also eliminates adjustment of complicated IRQ settings when installing new 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 arrive on the market every day. With USB, up to 127 devices can run simultaneously on a computer.

●USB permits "hot plug-in." There's no need to shut down, plug in, reboot and run set-up to install peripherals. And no need to go through the reverse process to unplug a device.

In short, USB transforms today's "Plug-and-Pray" into true Plug-and-Play!

Hub

A Universal Serial Bus device that provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus.

Hubs are a key element in the plug-and-play architecture of USB. The Figure shows a typical hub. Hubs serve to simplify USB connectivity from the user's perspective providing low cost and complexity.

Hubs are wiring concentrators and enable the multiple attachment characteristics of USB. Attachment points are referred to as ports. Each hub converts a single attachment point into multiple attachment points. The architecture supports concatenation of multiple hubs.
