DLP and LCD are the types of DVP (Digital Video Projection) technologies used for displaying the computer screen over a large LCD screen or wall. The main difference between DLP and LCD projector is that the DLP works as a reflective technology while LCD is a transmissive method. Furthermore, DLP is more latest technology as compared to LCD.

Interlaced and progressive are the raster scanning technique widely used in analog video system. These techniques are distinguished according to the scanning process where the interlaced scan employs the scanning of odd and even marked lines of a picture that are displayed consecutively as two isolated fields which are superimposed to generate one frame or picture on the screen. On the other hand, progressive scanning sweep over the whole image at a time. Content: Interlaced Scan Vs Progressive … [Read more...]

Multiprocessor and multicomputer are types of parallel computers. The fundamental difference between them is that a multiprocessor is a solitary computer containing several processors interconnected with the common computing resources such as memory and I/O devices. On the contrary, the multicomputer is constructed by interconnecting multiple autonomous computers through a network and each autonomous system has its own computing resource.

SIMD and MIMD are the two different types of computer organizations classified by the Michael Flynn based on the number of the data and instruction streams. The major difference between SIMD and MIMD is clear by their names only, the SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data Stream) computers can carry out single instruction over multiple data streams. As against, MIMD (Multiple Instruction Multiple Data Stream) computer organization can contain several instructions operating on multiple data … [Read more...]

Decoder and demultiplexer are the combinational logic circuits. The prior difference between decoder and demultiplexer is that the decoder is a device used to decrypt the the input streams from one format into another. On the other hand, the demultiplexer is used to route the information from one input line to any of the multiple output lines. A decoder is considered as a certain case of a demultiplexer. Furthermore, a decoder is demultiplexer without data input stream, and it contains inputs … [Read more...]

CRT and LCD are the types of display devices where CRT is used as conventional display devices whereas LCD is more recent technology. These are mainly differentiated based on the material they are constructed from and working mechanism, however, both are supposed to perform the same function of providing a visual form of electronic media. Here, the crucial operational difference is that the CRT integrates the two processes light generation and light modulation and it is also managed by a single … [Read more...]

Raster scan and random scan are the mechanisms used in displays for rendering the picture of an object on the screen of the monitor. The main difference between raster scan and random scan lies in the drawing of a picture where the raster scan points the electron beam at the entire screen but incorporating just one line at a time in the downward direction. On the other hand, in the random scan, the electron beam is guided on just those regions of the screen where the picture actually … [Read more...]

The crucial difference between combinational and sequential circuit is that combinational circuit result only relies on the input present at that instant while in the sequential circuit the output of the logic not just depends on the latest input but also on the earlier outputs. There is no feedback is provided to the combinational logic circuit but when it comes to the sequential logic circuit the feedback is the essential part of the circuit. So, the output generated considers both the present … [Read more...]

The SIMM and DIMM memory modules were invented to eliminate the older DIP (Dual Inline Package) chips. The DIP chips were delicate, and it is harder to install them as they needed to be poked in the socket. The pins of the chip are easily misaligned in the socket and tend to bend. So, when these chips are removed from the sockets, they require to be straightened which can result in the damaging of the chips and make it unusable. Then the SIMM and DIMM modules were devised which does not need to … [Read more...]

SATA and PATA are the versions of ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) which describes the physical, transport, and command protocols for attaching the storage devices to the host systems internally. The prior difference between SATA and PATA is that the SATA is later technology which is fast, more efficient and small in size relative to PATA an earlier technology. The Parallel ATA has various limitations related to signal period, integrity and electromagnetic interference. Content: SATA Vs … [Read more...]
