OLED Displays LEDs are used for color production. Displays can be made flexible. AMOLED or PMOLED Naturally less energy-efficient to display white pixels Super AMOLED and Super AMOLED Plus add on-cell TSP © Wiley Inc. 2015. All Rights Reserved.
Projection Systems Cast a lighted image on a screen. Front or rear projection Brightness measured in lumens and can be a major selling point Metal halide bulbs are expensive Allow time to cool down before unplugging projectors. © Wiley Inc. 2015. All Rights Reserved.

Calculation of Required Video Memory horizontal pixels × vertical pixels = pixels/screen pixels/screen × bits/pixel = bits/screen bits/screen ÷ 8 bits/byte = bytes/screen Divide by 1024 successively for KB, MB, etc. Ex: How much memory is required for a resolution of 1024 × 768 and a 24-bit color depth? 1024 horizontal pixels × 768 vertical pixels = 786,432 pixels/screen 786,432 pixels/screen × 24 bits/pixel = 18,874,368 bits/screen 18,874,368 bits/screen ÷ 8 bits/byte = 2,359,296 bytes/screen © Wiley Inc. 2015.
