Icon and Colors

An icon of a monitor represents LightFrame on your desktop. This icon appears as a shortcut on the Windows desktop. LightFrame has three (3) modes of operation: Active, Inactive, and Suspended. The same icon with a different color in its center represents each mode. Active = LightFrame icon has bright green center. Inactive = The icon has a gray center. Suspended = The icon has a yellow center with a red cross. Notes An active window must be 100% visible, i.e. it must be on top of all other windows or areas. If any part of another window or area overlaps a highlighted window, LightFrame automatically suspends operation. That means the icon goes from a green center to a yellow on with a red cross and the feature ceases. Once that window or area is removed and the original highlighted window is on top again, LightFrame automatically re-engages and the icon regains its bright green center. An active window must also be 100% on the monitor 's viewing area. If part of a highlighted window moves off the monitor 's viewing area, LightFrame automatically goes into the Suspended mode. If part of a window is off the viewing area, you will not be able to use LightFrame on that window. Only one window or area at a time can be highlighted.
How To Activate LightFrame 1. Click on the LightFrame icon in the systemtray (the area to the far right in the taskbar). The icon will turn
from gray to a green center.
2. Guide the mouse to the window you want displayed. As you move the mouse, the cursor changes to a small

arrow with a light bulb.

3. 3a) Click on the window you want to have highlighted. The brightness and sharpness are automatically
adjusted. 3b) If you want to highlight only an area of a window, click on the left mouse button and drag the cursor over the area to be highlighted while holding the mouse button. A rectangle forms around the area. When the area is encompassed by the rectangle, release the mouse button and the area becomes highlighted.
How to Deactivate LightFrame
To deactivate, click on the LightFrame icon in the System Tray of the Taskbar. The light in the middle of the icon turns gray and LightFrame is deactivated.
If a highlighted window is closed before LightFrame is deactivated, LightFrame is automatically deactivated.

Glossary

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

A Autoscan

A microprocessor-based feature of Philips Brilliance monitors is able to detect automatically horizontal and vertical frequencies of input signals with those of the installed video card. An autoscan monitor can thus operate with a wide range of video cards. MultiSync, a registered trademark of NEC, provides a similar function. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE

B Balanced pincushion

See Geometric distortion

BNC connection

A special construction of connector used in some monitors with higher horizontal scanning frequency. The BNC connection can provide the optimum shielding and matching characteristic impedance of video signal path to ensure the best video performance.
file:///C|/rita wu/gs3LF/ENGLISH/107S/glossary/glossary.htm (1 of 18) [10/12/2000 1:45:17 AM]

C CE Mark

CE mark is displayed on products per EMC and LV ( low Voltage Device ) directives in compliance with European Community safety, EMI and EMS requirements and is compulsory on products for sale in the European Community.

Color temperature

A way of describing the color of a radiating source in terms of the temperature (in degrees Kelvin) of a black body radiating with the same dominant frequency as the source. Most Philips monitors offer the possibility of setting the color temperature to any desired value.

Contrast

The ratio between the brightness of the brightest and darkest parts of a picture. The darkest part of a picture is set by the brightness of the unexcited phosphor, which is governed by the degree with which ambient light is reflected. Contrast is therefore reduced in conditions of high ambient light levels. Black Matrix tubes reflect less ambient light so exhibit higher contrast than other tubes.

Convergence error

Bean misalignment causing one or more of the three beams passing through the wrong aperture in the shadow mask and striking a phosphor dot in the wrong triad. Convergence error is expressed in mm often at three well-defined points on the screen, designated A, B and C (see figure ). Also known as misconvergence.
file:///C|/rita wu/gs3LF/ENGLISH/107S/glossary/glossary.htm (2 of 18) [10/12/2000 1:45:17 AM]
Points where convergence error is specified.
Convergence-error correction
A method of correcting for convergence error to insure that all three beams land simultaneously in the same triad. This is usually accomplished by means of special convergence-error correction coils in the deflection yoke.
Cathode-ray tube - the general term for all tubes in which one or more electron beams emitted by a cathode are periodically scanned across a phosphor screen by means of deflection circuitry. A special form of the cathode-ray tube is the TV and monitor picture tube.

CustoMax

Philips proprietary monitor control software that allows users to control parameters (e.g., Size, Color, Geometry) using software running in Windows. CustoMax is compatible with existing VGA cards. See CrystalClear FAQ and USB Bay FAQ. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE
D DDC (Display Data Channel)
file:///C|/rita wu/gs3LF/ENGLISH/107S/glossary/glossary.htm (3 of 18) [10/12/2000 1:45:17 AM]
DDC is a communication channel for displays and computers. The DDC feature allows the monitor controller to be automatically configured to make optimal use of the display without manual user interaction. DDC is implemented as part of the new Plug & Play approach introduced into the PC market to increase user friendliness. The three levels developed for Plug & play are: (1) DDC1, monitor send data to the PC; (2) DDC2B, PC can request information from monitor; and (3) DDC2Bi which is a two-way communication - monitor can be addressed and PC or graphics board can give commands to monitor.

DDC 1/2B

See DDC.

DDC 2Bi

Degaussing
The procedure of demagnetizing the shadow mask and associated metal parts of a picture tube at switch-on to minimize picture distortion. This is usually accomplished by means of a special degaussing coil through which a decaying alternating current is passed to generate an alternating magnetic field that gradually decays to demagnetize the tube. Some monitors offer a manual degaussing facility that can be activated at any time.

Digital control

Microprocessor-based digital control of picture parameters and video modes for complete control of picture settings and modes and instant recall of all settings at the push of a button. This is a very advanced feature that allows the user to switch to any required mode at any instant without having to spend time readjusting the picture. It is currently available in most Philips monitors.

Dot pitch

The shortest distance between two phosphor dots of the same color on the screen. The smaller the dot pitch, the better the resolution of the monitor.
file:///C|/rita wu/gs3LF/ENGLISH/107S/glossary/glossary.htm (4 of 18) [10/12/2000 1:45:17 AM]

Dot rate

Frequency in MHz of the dot clock. It is a measure of the speed with which data is transferred between the video card and subsequent processing circuitry. Also known as video dot rate. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE
E Electromagnetic radiation standards
International standards set to limit electromagnetic emissions from monitors. There are currently two important standards both derived from regulations originally laid down by Swedish authorities. MPR-II The standard originally proposed by the Swedish National Board of Measurement and Testing. It set maximum levels of electromagnetic radiation emitted by monitors, and has now been adopted as a world standard. MPR-II defines maximum permitted electrostatic, magnetic and electric field levels measured at a distance of 50 cm from the center of the monitor (see table). TCO
file:///C|/rita wu/gs3LF/ENGLISH/107S/glossary/glossary.htm (5 of 18) [10/12/2000 1:45:17 AM]
In 1991, the Swedish Tjnstemannens Central Organization (TCO, Swedish confederation of Professional Employees ) set a standard even more severe than MPR-II, especially for alternating electric fields (AEF). The TCO standard is more severe since not only are the permitted field levels reduced compared with MPR-II, but the measuring distance is also reduced (see table). Electromagnetic radiation standards EMI (Electrical Magnetic Interference) The electrical and/or magnetic radiation coming from the working electrical or electronic equipment. EMS (Electrical Magnetic Sustainment) The ability of electrical or electronic equipment to function properly in the environment with electrical and/or magnetic interference.

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 and provide robustness at 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. The upstream port of a hub connects the hub towards the host. Each of the other downstream ports of a hub allows connection to another hub or function. Hubs can detect, attach and detach at each downstream port and enable the distribution of power to downstream devices. Each downstream port can be individually enabled and configured at either full or low speed. The hub isolates low speed ports from full speed

signaling. A hub consists of two portions: the Hub Controller and Hub Repeater. The repeater is a protocol-controlled switch between the upstream port and downstream ports. It also has hardware support for reset and suspend/resume signaling. The controller provides the interface registers to allow communication to/from the host. Hub specific status and control commands permit the host to configure a hub and to monitor and control its ports. Device A logical or physical entity that performs a function. The actual entity described depends on the context of the reference. At the lowest level, device may refer to a single hardware component, as in a memory device. At a higher level, it may refer to a collection of hardware components that perform a particular function, such as a Universal Serial Bus interface device. At an even higher level, device may refer to the function performed by an entity attached to the Universal Serial Bus; for example, a data/FAX modem device. Devices may be physical, electrical, addressable, and logical.
Downstream The direction of data flow from the host or away from the host. A downstream port is the port on a hub electrically farthest from the host that generates downstream data traffic from the hub. Downstream ports receive upstream data traffic. Upstream The direction of data flow towards the host. An upstream port is the port on a device electrically closest to the host that generates upstream data traffic from the hub. Upstream ports receive downstream data traffic.
UPS (Universal Power Supply)
The monitor with UPS feature can work in different countries with various mains voltage. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE

V Vertical dot pitch

Vertical scanning frequency
Expressed in Hz, this is the number of fields written to the screen every second in interlaced mode. In non-interlaced mode vertical scanning frequency is the number of frames (complete pictures) written to the screen every second (also known as refresh rate).

Vertical sync pulses

A train of square shaped waveforms that define the start of a new frame.
Video Electronic Standards Association, a consortium of manufacturers formed to establish and maintain industry-wide standards for video cards and monitors. VESA was instrumental in the introduction of the Super VGA and Extended VGA video graphics standards (see Video graphics adapters) with a refresh rate of 70 Hz, minimizing flicker and helping to reduce operator eyes fatigue and stress.

Video dot rate

See Dot rate.

Video graphics adapters

A card equipped with a character or graphic generator and video memory, which maps to the screen. A microprocessor scans video memory and translates bit information from the computer into displayable video signals for the monitor. These cards comply with various standards that determine the nature and quality of the display. VGA (Video Graphics Array), introduced in 1987, was the first analog card. It offered still higher resolution than EGA: 640 X 480 pixels for graphics and 720 x 400 pixels for text, and a color palette of 256 colors. VGA could also emulate EGA and CGA. Super VGA, devised by VESA in 1989, offers a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. Extended VGA, introduced by VESA in 1991, offers a top resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (non-interlaced) and a refresh rate slightly higher than IBM's XGA 8514A. High-end, graphics adapters, introduced over the last three years for professional workstations, offer top
file:///C|/rita wu/gs3LF/ENGLISH/107S/glossary/glossary.htm (17 of 18) [10/12/2000 1:45:18 AM]
resolutions from 1280 x 1024 to 1600 x 1280, horizontal line frequencies up to 90 kHz and bandwidths up to 200 MHz.
VIS (Viewable Image Size)
The real screen dimensions that users can see measured diagonally. The VIS of a monitor is always less than the so called screen size of a monitor. For example, the VIS of a 17-inch monitor is only about 16 inches. It depends on the useful screen size of CRT and the opening of a monitor's front cabinet.

Cadmium** Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the color-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium. Mercury** Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labeled unit. CFCs (freons) The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with increased risks e.g. skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence. Lead** Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO'99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed. * Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms. ** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.

10. How do I enable the energy saving function?
file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/FAQ.HTM (2 of 8) [8/29/2001 3:11:40 PM]
Go to 'My Computer' and select 'Control Panel' followed by 'Monitor Control.' Select "All default selection' and choose your Philips monitor model from the default driver list. Plug and Play will automatically enable the EPA tick box for you. In DOS or Windows 3.1, you must first make sure your PC supports power saving.
11. What is refresh rate? "Refresh rate" describes the number of times an entire screen is vertically scanned each second. In other words: If a monitor's refresh rate is 85 Hz, its screen is refreshed - or vertically scanned - 85 times per second. A higher the refresh rate means better image stability and less flicker. A high refresh rate helps users who work long hours in front of a monitor avoid eye fatigue and stress. To change the refresh rate, go into "Start/Settings / Control Pannel / Display / Properties / Setting/Advance/Adaptor" Windows settings of the computer, the monitor will automatically adjust itself to the video card. 12. Why does the picture on the screen appear to flicker? A low refresh rate or electrical interference typically causes flickering in the picture. Possible solutions include the following: q Verify that the proper drivers are installed for your video card Make sure that all electrical devices (such as mobile phones) are at least 1m from the monitor q Place the monitor in another physical location away from electrical interference q Adjust the refresh rate to 75hz or higher. 13. How do I adjust my monitor's resolution?

32. How does Auto Calibrate work? During the calibration process, different predefined black and white images are displayed on thescreen. The beam currents of the red, green and blue cannon are accurately measured and compared to the original values stored in the monitor. By readjusting gain values of the individual cannons, deviation is reduced to zero. Default values are stored during production. If the user sets a new color temperature, this new value is saved as the new default value.
33. When should calibration be performed? The calibration process takes less than six seconds. During this period, different specific images are displayed. After the process is finalized, the original image is redisplayed. Constant re-calibration is not required. Calibration should be performed after the monitor is warmed up. Auto Calibration takes place when a monitor receives a signal indicating an imminent switch to its sleep mode/stand-by mode. 34. Which models of Philips monitors are equipped with Auto Calibrate feature? Auto Calibrate is currently available in the new 201P, 201B and 109P.
35. The Main Menu displays OSD MAIN MENU LOCKED. Pressing the front control panels hasno effect. How can I unlock this function? Press and hold the OSD menu key for about 10 seconds until picture displays "OSD MAIN MENU UNLOCKED" 36. My screen shows NO SYNC INPUT , how can I get rid of this? Check the following for possible solutions: q Bent pins on the video cable

q q q q

Make sure the computer is turned on Ensure the VGA Cable is properly connected Ensure the BNC/D-Sub connector on the rear of the monitor is in the correct position, newer models have this option in the On Screen Display under Input Signal Selection. Video card may be not be a VESA standard (try the monitor with another computer)
37. Why does my monitor display "Out of Range"? The video card installed in your computer may be too high for the monitor 's specifications. Please contact your
file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/FAQ.HTM (5 of 8) [8/29/2001 3:11:41 PM]
computer manufacturer for details on how to lower resolution for your operating system. 38. What is Moir? Why does my monitor have this wavy phenomenon? Moir is a natural effect or phenomenon of CRT that has the appearance of a wavy pattern, which is repetitive and superimposed on the screen as ripple images. These are a few suggestions to help reduce or minimize the effects: q Some monitors have a Moir cancellation feature, activate it to the on position or adjust the Moir cancellation function via the OSD on the monitor. Change resolution to the recommended standard for the specific monitor size. q Change Window viewing pattern/scheme to a pattern where the Moir is less visible. q Change horizontal and vertical size to optimize the reduction of the Moir effect. 39. What is CustoMax?

Adjust Brightness and/or Contrast via the monitor 's OSD. Some models have a Video Input Select
file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/FAQ.HTM (6 of 8) [8/29/2001 3:11:41 PM]
under Advanced Controls in the monitor 's OSD. Most computers require it to be set at.7V. Please review the following for possible solutions: q If the OSD menu is also dim, please contact service for repair q Reset the monitor via the OSD menu q Change the color temperature settings to 9300 color coordination via the OSD menu q Set the Contrast to maximum level (100) and Brightness to middle level (50) Video card could be defective (try the monitor with another computer) 45. I have noticed two thin horizontal lines on the screen of my Philips monitor. Is this normal? This phenomenon can occur with Philips 107P, 109P and 201P monitors and is normal. Your monitor is using an Aperture Grille, which consists of fine vertical wires to align the electron beams with the phosphors on the screen. To prevent these vertical wires from vibrating and to keep them properly aligned with the picture tube, two horizontal damper wires are required. These are located on one-third and on two-third from the top of the screen. The result is that you will see two very thin horizontal lines over your screen since the two wires are casting a slight shadow on the screen surface. You will find these wires (line) in any monitor from Philips and other brands using the Aperture Grille technology. 46. How can I increase the color display of my monitor? The amount of video memory your video card holds determines the amount of colors that can be displayed on your computer screen. To get the most out of your video card, you will need to either install the latest drivers onto your computer or upgrade the video cards memory. Please check with your computer or video card manufacturer for further details. 47. Why is there no picture on my monitor?
Check the wall socket for power. Verify that there is power by connecting another product. Ensure the power cable is correctly attached to both the wall socket and the monitor. Check that the power button is switched on. Unplug the monitor for approx. 1 minute and plug it in again. Switch the monitor back on.
48. Why is there is no picture on my monitor even though the power LED is yellow/amber?

SOG (Synchronization On Green)
A properly functioning color monitor requires five kinds of signals: horizontal sync pulse, vertical sync pulse, red color signal, green color signal and blue color signal. Signals from a PC are transmitted to a monitor using one of three methods: 1. Separate sync: Horizontal and Vertical sync signals transmitted separately 2. Composite sync: Horizontal and vertical sync pulses mixed into a single signal train. 3. SOG: Horizontal and vertical sync pulses mixed, then combined with the green color signal.

Trapezoid distortion
See Geometrical distortion.

TTL signal

A TTL (Transistor-transistor-logic) signal is a digital signal level for controlling the screen colors. With TTL driving, the red, green and blue signals can only be switched on or off or provided with an intensity signal. A TTL-driven monitor can thus display a maximum of 64 colors. Video standards such as MDA, CGA and EGA are based on TTL level. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE
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. q USB eliminates "case angst" -- the fear of removing the computer case to install add-on peripherals. And 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.

Environmental Requirements Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in fetus development may occur. The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available. Cadmium** Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the color-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or
file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/201B/SAFETY/regs/regulat.htm (2 of 11) [8/29/2001 3:12:03 PM]
electronics components must not contain any cadmium. Mercury** Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labeled unit. CFCs (freons) The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with increased risks e.g. skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence. Lead** Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO'99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed. * Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms. ** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.
