Various Type of Visual Displays Information Display


(with diagrams)!

1.QuantitativeDisplays:
These displays provide information about the numerical
value or quantitative value of some variable. The
variable may be either dynamic (i.e. changing with time
such as pressure or temperature) or static. Mechanical
indicator type of quantitative displays are usually
utilized.

The moving element is a pointer such as the position of a


plane on a screen. In some cases it is a liquid column
such as in case of conventional blood pressure
measuring instrument. In some devices, the scale is the
moving element and the pointer itself is fixed.

Digital counter display is more suitable for making quick


and precise numerical readings. These are now being
increasingly used e.g. digital watches and calculators.
When we compare the relative advantages and
limitations of a fixed pointer and fixed scale types we
find that the moving pointer type provides us a
perceptual feel of the quantification which is not in case
of moving scale types.

The distinct advantage of the moving scale type design is


that it occupies less panel space since the entire scale
need not be displayed and only a small portion just
against the fixed would serve the purpose. Some
arrangements with quantitative visual displays are
illustrated in Fig. 9.9.

The least count of the scale, the scale markers, the


numerical progression used, type of the pointer and type
of illumination etc., are the special features of
quantitative displays which require consideration.

2.QualitativeDisplays:

They provide information about a limited number of


discrete states of some variable. These displays proven
qualitative information i.e. instantaneous (in most cases
approximate) values of certain continuously
altering/changing variables such as pressure,
temperature and speed etc. some of these provide the
general trend of change.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

Thus they can be termed as dynamic qualitative visual


displays. For example in case of a moving car for
temperature quality we have hot normal and cold
ranges. The Fig. 9.10 illustrates the three areas of low,
safe and unsafe speeds on a car speedometer are
normally marked with different colours to make
discrimination among speed zones.

3.OtherTypeofDisplays:
In addition to quantitative and qualitative displays
many other types of displays needed for some
specific purpose are used but commonly used

displays are pictorial displays and auditory displays


as discussed below:

PictorialDisplays:
A good pictorial display is one which can show the object
item easily. For example photographs, television screen
radarscope, flow diagrams and maps. The aim of display
is that the representation should be as simple as possible
since many objects in view tend to confuse the viewer.

The relationship between static and dynamic objects or


stationary and moving items should be distinct and
clear. Sometimes graphs and charts are very convenient
form of pictorial displays. Cathode ray type of display is
also a very good and convenient technique for giving
pictorial visual information.

AuditoryDisplays:
In comparison with visual sense the human sense of
hearing is not that sensitive but has certain traits which
make it highly suitable media of receiving information.

It possesses the following abilities:

(1) Can detect and identify a very wide spectrum of


sounds with varying frequencies and intensities.

(2) It possess very vide range and area of reception even


more than those of eyes.

(3) Can ascertain the sources of sound with fair


accuracy.

(4) Can detect a requisite/wanted sound from among


noises.

(5) Human ear can listen to many sounds and can attend
only to desire one.

Thus as compared to visual display, the auditory


display is preferred when:

(i) When the information is simple, short and would not


be required for future reference.

(ii) When the information is based on events depending


on the time and immediate action required e.g. ring the
bell to call the peon.

(iii) When the originating location is not suitable for


visual display e.g. giving proper instructions to earth
moving machinery in a field.

(iv) Due to his nature of duties, the operator cannot


stand in front of display panel at all times there is no
alternative to auditory presentation.

(A) Classification of Auditory Displays:

There are two modes by which auditory displays are


utilized i.e. in one mode noise signals are used and in
the other speech signals are utilized. Both these are
suitable for two district classes of information.

They should be utilized as per requirements as


follows:

(1) Noise mode can be employed in case the message is


simple and the operator is well trained to receive that
particular signal. They can also be used when the
information does not possess any quantitative value and
only provides a certain state of process at a particular
time.

(2) Noise signals may be utilized when conditions are not


suitable for speech communication such as when signal
is ment for only one person and over hearing is not
desirable. Opposite to this speech presentation is
desirable when information is flexible in nature and the
listener is required to identify the source to initiate
requisite action.

(3) When two way communications is required.

(4) When the information will be acted upon at a


later stage some of the common auditory displays
and their important design features are as follows:

(i) Horns:

They have the capacity to produce high intensity sound


which would catch the attention easily. They are
designed to carry the sound in particular direction.

(ii) Whistle:

If it is below intermittently, it produces high intensity


sound which catches ones attention very easily.

(iii) Fog horn:

It also produces sound similar to horns with the


difference that the sound emanating from such horns
cannot penetrate through low frequency noise.

(iv) Buzzer:

It has good capacity to catch ones attention in nearby


area as it produces a medium intensity sound.

(v) Bell:

A bell can produce medium intensity sound which can


be heard over and above low frequency noises.

(vi) Siren:

It provides a very effective warning signal if the pitch of


sound is made to rise and fall since it produces a high
intensity sound. It is also utilized as a very good all clear
signal when it is continuously sounded at the same
pitch.
