PERIPHERAL DEVICE
External hardware devices attached to the computer are called peripheral equipments.
INPUT DEVICES
Input devices are any electronic device connected to a computer and produces input signals.
OUTPUT DEVICES
Output is the result of data processing activity when it is presented external to the system. The
output from a computer can be in a form for use by people, for example, printed or displayed.
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.
STORAGE DEVICES

Information and documents are stored in 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.
1. Printers
A printer is another example of an output device that can be used to print text,
apart from graphics, on mediums such as paper, transparency film or even cloths.
2. Scanners

ICTL For Secondary School - HARDWARE Module
The flatbed scanner is the most common in offices. Hand-held scanners, where the device is
moved by hand, were briefly popular but are now not used due to the difficulty of obtaining a
high-quality image.
Other types of scanners are planetary scanners, which take photographs of books and
documents, and 3D scanners, for producing three-dimensional models of objects, but these
types of scanner are considerably more expensive than other types of scanners.
Another category of scanner are digital camera scanners, which are based on the concept of
reprographic cameras.

3. LCD Projector
An 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.
A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) projector uses its own light source to project what is
displayed on the computer on a wall or projection screen. A digital light processing
(DLP) projector uses tiny mirrors to reflect light which can be seen clearly in a well-
lit room.
4. Digital cameras
A digital camera is an electronic device used to capture and store photographs digitally,
instead of using photographic film like conventional cameras, or recording images in an analog
format to magnetic tape like many video cameras.
Modern compact digital cameras are typically multifunctional, with some devices capable of
recording sound and/or video as well as photographs.
