Understanding Computer Peripherals

Peripheral devices are hardware components that can be attached to and detached from a computer. There are three main types of peripherals: input devices, like keyboards and mice, that allow data to enter the computer; output devices, like printers and monitors, that display or print the computer's output; and storage devices, like hard drives and flash drives, that hold data even when the computer is turned off. Common peripherals include printers for printing text and images, scanners for digitizing physical documents, LCD projectors for displaying onto a larger screen, and digital cameras for capturing digital photos without film.

Definition & types of peripheral
Peripheral Device :
External hardware devices attached to the
computer
are called peripheral devices
There are three types of peripheral devices :
• Input devices
• Output devices
• Storage devices
Input Devices
Input devices are any electronic device that are connected
to a computer and produces input signals.
Input Device
Output Devices

Output is the result of data processing activity when it


is presented externally to the system.

The output from a computer can be printed or


displayed form .

An output device is hardware that is capable of


delivering or showing information to one or more
users. An output device shows, prints and presents the
results of a computer’s work.
Output Device
Storage Devices

Information and documents are stored in a computer


storage so that it can be retrieved
whenever they are needed later on.

Computer storage is the holding of data in an


electromagnetic form for access by a
computer processor.
Activity 2:
Different types and the functions of peripheral
1. Printers
A printer is another example of an output device that can be
used to print text and graphics on mediums such as paper,
transparency film or even cloths.
Scanners
In computing, a scanner is a device that
analyzes images, printed text, handwriting, or
objects (such as an ornament) and converts it
into a digital image
These are examples of scanners:

a. The flatbed scanner is the most common in offices.

b. Hand-held scanners are no longer used due to the difficulty in


obtaining a highquality image.

c. Digital camera scanners, that are based on the concept of


reprographic cameras.

d. Planetary scanners, which take photographs of books and


documents

e. 3D scanners, for producing three-dimensional models of objects,


Hand-held scanners
LCD Projector

LCD projector is a type of video projector for


displaying video, images or computer data on
a screen or other flat surface. It is a modern
equivalent of the slide projector or overhead
projector.
Digital Cameras

Digital Cameras are electronic devices used to


capture and store photographs digitally, using the
memory card without using photographic film like
conventional cameras, or
recording images in an analog format to magnetic
tape like many video cameras.
