A	active-matrix display — A liquid crystal display (LCD) made from an
	array of liquid crystal cells using active-matrix technology. Also
	known as a “TFT display,” in its simplest form there is one thin film
	transistor (TFT) for each cell. This type of display works well with
	notebook computers because of its shallow depth and high-quality
	color. Active-matrix displays are viewable from wider angles than
	most passive-matrix displays.
	adapter — A device that provides a compatible connection between two
	units. For example, the computer’s internal display adapter receives
	information from the software and translates it into images on the
	screen. An adapter can take a number of forms, from a
	microprocessor to a simple connector. An intelligent adapter (one
	that is capable of doing some processing) may also be called a
	controller.
	alternating current (AC) — The type of power usually supplied to
	residential and commercial wall outlets. AC reverses its direction at
	regular intervals. Compare direct current (DC).
	application — A computer program that you use to perform tasks of a
	specific type. Applications include word processors, spreadsheets,
	and database management systems. See also program.
