An output device is a computer hardware device that retrieves and presents the result of
the inserted input data from the computer system and further translates that data into
human-understandable language.
Types of Output
Devices
Monitor
A computer monitor is a device that displays visual information from a computer. It
is an essential component of a computer setup, allowing users to see images,
videos, text, and graphics generated by the computer's software.
Printer
A printer in a computer is a peripheral device that produces hard copies of
documents. It translates digital data from a computer into a physical form on
paper.
Speaker

Different Uses of Output Devices
Output devices are hardware components used to communicate the results of data
processing carried out by a computer to the user or another device. These devices
play a crucial role in making the results of computational processes accessible and
useful to users in various applications. Common uses of output devices include:
● Displays Information
● Print Information
● Communication
Graded Assignments
Research and explore the various types of monitors, such as LCD, LED, OLED, and
CRT, and different types of printers, including inkjet, laser, dot matrix, and 3D
printers. Gather images of each type and include a brief description highlighting
their features, uses, and benefits. Print these images and paste them into your
notebook, labeling each clearly to show the differences between the types. This
assignment will help deepen your understanding of these essential computer
devices and how each one serves specific purposes in technology.
