A computer display, monitor or screen is a computer peripheral device capable of showing still or moving images generated by a computer and processed by a graphics card. Monitors generally conform to one or more display standards.As with television, several different hardware technologies exist for displaying the actual image :
A modern CRT display has considerable flexibility: it can often handle all resolutions from 640 by 480 pixels (640x480) up to 1600 by 1200 pixels (1600x1200) with 32-bit colour and a variety of refresh rates.
- Cathode ray tube (CRT)
- Liquid crystal display (LCD)
- Plasma display
- Projector
Some technical circles prefer the name "display" to the word "monitor" (perceived as ambiguous alongside the other senses of "monitor" meaning "machine-level debugger" or "thread synchronization mechanism"). Computer displays have also been known as visual display units or VDUs.
Early CRT-based VDUs without graphics capabilities gained the label 'glass teletypes', because of the similarity to their electromechanical predecessors.
Monochrome displays can only display one colour either as on or off. Grayscale displays can show only levels of a single colour. In both cases the display usually uses green, orange (amber) or gray (white).
Colour monitors may show either digital colour (each of the red, green and blue signals may be either on or off, giving eight possible colours: black, white, red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow) or analog colour (red, green and blue signals are continuously variable allowing the display of any combination). Digital monitors are sometimes known as TTL because the voltages on the red, green and blue inputs are compatible with TTL logic chips.
Most modern computer displays can show thousands or millions of different colours in the RGB colour space by combining red, green, and blue dots in varying intensities.
Some display technologies (especially LCD) have an inherent misregistration of the colour planes, that is, the centers of the red, green, and blue dots do not line up perfectly. In 2001, software designers began to exploit the misregistration to produce sharper images: Microsoft's ClearType™ provides an example.
Moving texts can appear in italics, even when the display resolution is too low to show static italics: a fractional time delay causes an apparent corresponding shift of a fraction of a pixel.

A computer terminal is an electronic or electromechanical hardware device. It is used for entering data into, and and displaying data from, a computer or a computing system. Early terminals were teletypess (TTYs), later ones use a Visual Display Units (VDU). Typically a terminal communicates with the computer via a serial line.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Computer terminal."
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In mathematics, an initial object of a category C is an object I in C such that to every object X in C, there exists precisely one morphism I -> X. The dual notion is that of a terminal object: T is terminal, if to every object X in C there exists a single morphism X -> T. Initial objects are also called coterminal and terminal objects are also called final. If an object is both initial and terminal, we call it a zero object.
Properties
Not all categories have initial or terminal objects, as will be seen below. Directly from the definition, one can show however that if an initial object exists, then it is unique up to a unique isomorphism. The same is true for terminal objects.
Examples
This article is based on PlanetMath's article on examples of initial and terminal objects.
- The empty set is the unique initial object in the category of sets; every one-element set (singleton) is a terminal object in this category; there are no zero objects. Similarly, the empty space is the unique initial object in the category of topological spaces; every one-point space is a terminal object in this category.
- In the category of non-empty sets, there are no initial objects. The singletons are not initial: while every non-empty set admits a function from a singleton, this function is in general not unique.
- In the category of pointed sets (whose objects are non-empty sets together with a distinguished element; a morphism from (A,a) to (B,b) being a function f : A → B with f(a) = b), every singleton is a zero object. Similarly, in the category of pointed topological spaces, every singleton is a zero object.
- In the category of groups, any trivial group (consisting only of its identity element) is a zero object. The same is true for the category of abelian groups as well as for the category of left modules over a fixed ring. This is the origin of the term "zero object".
- In the category of rings, the ring of integers (and any ring isomorphic to it) serves as an initial object. The trivial ring consisting only of a single element 0=1 is a terminal object.
- In the category of schemess, the prime spectrum of Z is a terminal object. The empty scheme (equal to the prime spectrum of the trivial ring) is an initial object.
- In the category of fieldss, there are no initial or terminal objects.
- Any partially ordered set (P, ≤) can be interpreted as a category: the objects are the elements of P, and there is a single morphism from x to y if and only if x ≤ y. This category has an initial object if and only if P has a smallest element; it has a terminal object if and only if P has a largest element. This explains the terminology.
- In the category of graphs, the null graph (without vertices and edges) is an initial object. The graph with a single vertex and a single loop is terminal. The category of simple graphs does not have a terminal object.
- Similarly, the category of all small categories with functors as morphisms has the empty category as initial object and the one-object-one-morphism category as terminal object.
- Any topological space X can be viewed as a category by taking the open sets as objects, and a single morphism between two open sets U and V if and only if U ⊂ V. The empty set is the initial object of this category, and X is the terminal object.
- If X is a topological space (viewed as a category as above) and C is some small category, we can form the category of all contravariant functors from X to C, using natural transformations as morphisms. This category is called the category of presheaves on X with values in C. If C has an initial object c, then the constant functor which sends every open set to c is an initial object in the category of presheaves. Similarly, if C has a terminal object, then the corresponding constant functor serves as a terminal presheave.
- If we fix a homomorphism f : A -> B of abelian groups, we can consider the category C consisting of all pairs (X, φ) where X is an abelian group and φ : X -> A is a group homomorphism with f φ = 0. A morphism from the pair (X, φ) to the pair (Y, ψ) is defined to be a group homomorphism r : X -> Y with the property ψ r = φ. The kernel of f is a terminal object in this category; this is nothing but a reformulation of the universal property of kernels. With an analogous construction, the cokernel of f can be seen as an initial object of a suitable category.
- We can treat arbitrary limits of functors similar to the previous example: if F : I -> C is a functor, we define a new category Cone(F) as follows: its objects are pairs (X, (φi)) where X is an object of C and for every object i of I, φi : X -> F(i) is a morphism in C such that for every morphism ρ : i -> j in I, we have F(ρ)φi = φj. A morphism between pairs (X, (φi)) and (Y, (ψi)) is defined to be a morphism r : X -> Y such that ψi r = φi for all objects i of I. The universal property of the limit can then be expressed as saying: any terminal object of Cone(F) is a limit of F and vice versa (note that Cone(F) need not contain a terminal object, just like F need not have a limit).
- Generalizing the previous two examples: every construction described by a universal property can be reformulated as the problem of finding an initial or terminal object in a suitable category.
