Record 5 2007-04-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Audiovisual Techniques and Equipment
  • Television (Radioelectricity)
DEF

A television set which eliminates a great degree of the screen curvature hence displaying less reflection, whether it features the CRT(cathode ray tube), plasma or LCD technology.

OBS

Strictly speaking, the term "flat panel television" is not synonymous with the term "flat screen television" since the latter can also be found on classical CRT(cathode ray tube) televisions. But both of the terms are commonly confused.

Key term(s)
  • flat screen TV set
  • flat-screen TV set
  • flat-screen television
  • flat-screen television set

French

Domaine(s)
  • Audiovisuel (techniques et équipement)
  • Télévision (Radioélectricité)
DEF

Téléviseur du type à écran cathodique, à affichage à cristaux liquides ou à plasma dont l'écran, généralement de bonne dimension, n'a pas de courbure, limitant ainsi les reflets.

OBS

Au sens strict, le terme «téléviseur à panneau plat» n'est pas synonyme de «téléviseur à écran plat» puisque ce dernier se retrouve sur les appareils classiques de télévision à tube cathodique, mais il est compréhensible que l'on mélange les deux concepts.

Seam Testing Methods... There are number of procedures available which have applicability on different geomembranes... the ultrasonic impedance plane method works on the principle of acoustic impedance. A continuous wave of 160 to 185 kHz is sent through the seamed liner and a characteristic dot pattern is displayed on a CRT screen. Calibration of the dot pattern is required to signify a good seam; otherwise, it is not. The method has potential for all types of geomembranes but still needs additional development work.

The projection or formation of typographic images on a display screen, usually in association with a high-speed computerized photocomposition system.

The process of directly drawing lines by sweeping an electron beam over the surface of a CRT was brought up in the raster-scan section. There is a class of display devices known as vector or refresh graphic displays that use this technique. A typical system contains a graphics memory that holds a display file of line segments to be drawn on the screen. The display processor repeatedly cycles through this list of lines, thereby refreshing the screen.
