Motion: Clarify Structure• navigation
– rotate/translate/zoom
• object recognition– moving lights at joints [Johnson 1973]
• animated transitions – jump increases cognitive load– smooth transition from one state to next– maintain object constancy

Past: Never Enough Pixels• visualization is pixel-bound
– vs. CPU-bound, I/O-bound, render-bound– running out of pixels is chief bottleneck
• pixels as precious resource– like CPU cycles used to be– evolution: batch, command line, WIMP, infovis
• why?

Display Technologies• Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs)
– most common display device today– evacuated glass bottle– extremely high voltage– heating element (filament)– electrons pulled towards
anode focusing cylinder– vertical and horizontal deflection plates– beam strikes phosphor coating on front of tube
![Page 14: Displays, Devices - UBC Computer Sciencetmm/courses/cpsc414-03-fall/Vsep... · 2003-11-17 · Display Technologies • Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) – most common display device today](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042207/5ea9b777ca0f0a2eae2a4e61/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Week 12, Mon 17 Nov 03 © Tamara Munzner 14
Electron Gun– contains filament that, when heated, emits
stream of electrons– electrons focused with electromagnet into sharp
beam and directed to a specific point of the face of picture tube
– front surface of the picture tube coated with small phosphor dots
– when beam hits a phosphor dot • glows with a brightness proportional to strength of
beam and how often it is excited by beam

– anybody remember Battlezone? Tempest?

Week 12, Mon 17 Nov 03 © Tamara Munzner 16
Vector Displays• early computer displays– basically an oscilloscope– control X,Y with vertical/horizontal plate voltage – often used intensity as Z
• cons– just does wireframe– visible flicker in complex scenes
![Page 17: Displays, Devices - UBC Computer Sciencetmm/courses/cpsc414-03-fall/Vsep... · 2003-11-17 · Display Technologies • Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) – most common display device today](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042207/5ea9b777ca0f0a2eae2a4e61/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Raster Displays
• raster: a rectangular array of points or dots– pixel: one dot or picture element of the raster– scan line: a row of pixels
![Page 18: Displays, Devices - UBC Computer Sciencetmm/courses/cpsc414-03-fall/Vsep... · 2003-11-17 · Display Technologies • Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) – most common display device today](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042207/5ea9b777ca0f0a2eae2a4e61/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Week 12, Mon 17 Nov 03 © Tamara Munzner 18
Raster Displays• black and white television
– an oscilloscope with a fixed scan pattern: left to right, top to bottom
– to paint the screen, computer needs to synchronize with scanning pattern of raster
• solution: special framebuffer memory to buffer image with scan-out synchronous to the raster
![Page 19: Displays, Devices - UBC Computer Sciencetmm/courses/cpsc414-03-fall/Vsep... · 2003-11-17 · Display Technologies • Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) – most common display device today](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042207/5ea9b777ca0f0a2eae2a4e61/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Phosphors
– flourescence: light emitted while the phospher is being struck by electrons
– phospherescence: light emitted once the electron beam is removed
– persistence: time from removal of the excitation to moment when phospherescence has decayed to 10% of the initial light output
![Page 20: Displays, Devices - UBC Computer Sciencetmm/courses/cpsc414-03-fall/Vsep... · 2003-11-17 · Display Technologies • Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) – most common display device today](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042207/5ea9b777ca0f0a2eae2a4e61/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Week 12, Mon 17 Nov 03 © Tamara Munzner 20
Raster Displays• frame must be “refreshed” to draw new images• as new pixels are struck by electron beam,
others are decaying• electron beam must hit all pixels frequently to
eliminate flicker• critical fusion frequency
– typically 60 times/sec– varies with intensity, individuals, phosphor
persistence, lighting...
![Page 21: Displays, Devices - UBC Computer Sciencetmm/courses/cpsc414-03-fall/Vsep... · 2003-11-17 · Display Technologies • Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) – most common display device today](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042207/5ea9b777ca0f0a2eae2a4e61/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Interlaced Scanning
– assume can only scan 30 times / second– to reduce flicker, divide frame into two
“fields” of odd and even lines

Scanning• left to right, top to bottom
– Vertical Sync Pulse: signals the start of the next field
– Vertical Retrace: time needed to get from the bottom of the current field to the top of the next field
– Horizontal Sync Pulse: signals the start of the new scan line
– Horizontal Retrace: time needed to get from the end of the current scan line to the start of the next scan line

Color CRTs• color CRTs much more complicated
– requires manufacturing very precise geometry– uses a pattern of color phosphors on the
screen:
– why red, green, and blue phosphors?Delta electron gun arrangement In-line electron gun arrangement

Raster Discussion
• raster CRT pros– allows solids, not just wireframes– leverages low-cost CRT technology (i.e., TVs)– bright! display emits light
• cons– requires screen-size memory array– discrete sampling (pixels)– practical limit on size (call it 40 inches)– bulky– finicky (convergence, warp, etc)
![Page 27: Displays, Devices - UBC Computer Sciencetmm/courses/cpsc414-03-fall/Vsep... · 2003-11-17 · Display Technologies • Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) – most common display device today](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042207/5ea9b777ca0f0a2eae2a4e61/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

CRTs – Summary– CRT technology hasn’t changed much in 50 years– early television technology
• high resolution • requires synchronization between video signal and
electron beam vertical sync pulse
– early computer displays• avoided synchronization using ‘vector’ algorithm• flicker and refresh were problematic
![Page 28: Displays, Devices - UBC Computer Sciencetmm/courses/cpsc414-03-fall/Vsep... · 2003-11-17 · Display Technologies • Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) – most common display device today](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042207/5ea9b777ca0f0a2eae2a4e61/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

CRTs – Summary• raster displays (early 70s)
– like television, scan all pixels in regular pattern– use frame buffer (video RAM) to eliminate sync
problems– RAM
• ¼ MB (256 KB) cost $2 million in 1971• do some math…
– 1280 x 1024 screen resolution = 1,310,720 pixels– monochrome color (binary) requires 160 KB– high resolution color requires 5.2 MB

LCDs• Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs)
– organic molecules, naturally in crystalline state, that liquefy when excited by heat or E field
– crystalline state twists polarized light 90º.

LCDs• transmissive & reflective LCDs:
– LCDs act as light valves, not light emitters, and thus rely on an external light source.
– laptop screen: backlit, transmissive display– Palm Pilot/Game Boy
• reflective display

High-Resolution LCDs
• IBM T221 Flat Panel, US $8K – ASCI brought technology to market early– 3800x2400, 9 Mpixels, 22", 200dpi – 179 degree field of view– bright, high constrast (400:1)
• LCD pros– much lighter, thinner than CRTs– price nearly competitive with CRTs

• small gas-filled capsules excited by electric field,emit UV light
• UV excites phosphor• phosphor relaxes, emits
some other color

Plasma Display Discussion• pros
– large viewing angle– good for large-format displays– fairly bright
• cons– expensive– large pixels (~1 mm versus ~0.2 mm)– phosphors gradually deplete– less bright than CRTs, using more power

Display Wall Discussion• pros
– commodity technology– can be seamless (theoretically)
• cons– geometric alignment solvable– colorimetric alignment difficult– large space footprint

Future: Plentiful Pixels?• digital wallpaper
– 300dpi, ubiquitous– cheap as paint/wallpaper
• projectors as lightbulbs, flashlights
• challenges– rendering– physical delivery of pixels to displays
• would need lots of wires
