Generate sizzle and profitability in video imaging

Driven by insatiable demand for new electronic tools and toys, video and data displays are becoming brighter, cheaper, more power efficient, bigger and -- in the case of hand-held devices - smaller than ever. Written by well-known video engineering author Jerry Whitaker, Video Display Engineering puts at your fingertips the know-how it takes to meet the needs of a sophisticated information society with improved video displays for consumer television, computers and telecommunications...medical imaging...industrial process control...automotive, aerospace, and military devices and systems...advertising and point-of-purchase.

Loaded with technology-simplifying diagrams and data-packed tables, this expert guide helps you master the technology underlying each type of display system so you can design and service state-of-the-art display devices from giant stadium screens to pocket televisions. It's also your in-depth introduction to the most recent innovations in mass-market imaging technology from RCA, Sharp, Sanyo, Mitsubishi, GE, Matsushita and other industry leaders.
