TECHNOLOGY LIFE CYCLE

 The word technology has been

derived from the Greek word technologiatechno means an art or skill and logia means science or study .
Technology is the application of

scientific knowledge for practical purposes .

Technology is also a knowledge of

using tools and machines to do tasks efficiently, and to improve their ability to do work.

TECHNOLOGY-LIFE CYCLE

PHASE 1 - RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

CRT was first invented by the German physicist

Ferdinand Braun in 1897.

First experiment of CRT resulted in displaying

geomatric shapes on screen.

First use of CRT was made in Televisions by Russian

Scientist Boris Rosing in 1907.

EXAMPLE
CRT Display Apple Leadership
Apple's manufacture history of CRT

displays began in 1980.

Second Generation of displays were

Apple II Business Computer

built into Lisa and Macintosh line of computer in 1987.

Subsequently 3rd and 4th generation

CRT display came in.

The Apple AudioVision 14 Display

PHASE 2 - APPLICATIONS
Text ,Image and graphics display systems for personal

and commercial usage.

Medical Image processing and interpretation systems in

hospitals.
Security oriented display systems in defense sector.

Real time image processing systems for organizations

like NASA,ISRO etc.

PHASE 3 APPLICATION BASED PRODUCTS 1) Monochrome CRT Monitors

Very common type of computer

display in the period of 1960s to 1980s.

One color computer display (mono

= one, chrome = color).

Available in 3 colors as followed:

1) P1 Phosphor (Green) 2) P3 Phosphor (Amber) 3) P4 Phosphor (White)

2) Gray-Scale CRT Monitors

Special type of monochrome monitor

capable of displaying different shades of gray.

Came in light for digital radiological

image processing.
Initially their resolution were not so

high e.g. 1 MP.

3) Color CRT Monitors

Can display 16 to over 1 million

different colors.
Also called as RGB monitors
NTSC/PAL 14-Inch Color Monitor

because they accept three separate signals -- red, green, and blue.
Available for personal computers

as well as for television displays.

Samsung sam-14M

PHASE 4 - GROWTH
Started growing with black and white televisions and

computers at commercial level since 1930.

Growth got speed up with the advent of color television

and computer monitors.

In Q3 2003 increase in corporate buying had been

recorded.
Mass production got into picture with aggressive pricing

and promotion marketing strategies.

PHASE 5 TECHNOLOGY MATURITY

Terrific competition came in between by various CRT

monitor vendors.
Growing market of LCD monitors knocking down the

CRT monitors sale.

Growing phase of notebooks and laptops with the

changing Consumer preference.

Due to less cost LCD Monitors production.

PHASE 6 DEGRADED TECHNOLOGY

CRT Monitor Usage confined to : 1) Medical Image Processing at the commercial level. 2) Personal Computer at consumer level.

Barcos Medical Grayscale CRT Display

Ultrasound Scaning display system

LCD VS CRT

Physical Size. Display Size. Power Consumption. Effect on Viewing. Color and Resolution. Response Time.

SAMSUNG Computing Devices

Got entry in Indian market in 1995. Leading Competitor in CRT displays as well LCD displays manufacturing.
.

Decided to stop manufacturing CRT display as CRT sales had dropped 11% in Q2,07 & 46% compared to previous year. LCD monitors, Notebooks meanwhile, represent 88.2 percent of overall sales, and have increased 34 percent versus a year ago.

NEW TECHNOLOGY - TOUCH SCREEN MONITORS

PHASE 1 - RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Emerged in china by a leading touch screen manufacturer

IRTOUCH SYSTEMS
A complete portion of hardware, which has a screen with an

in-built touch sensitive cover.

Offered a complete product line of touch screens ranging from

6.4' to 100 for various commercial purpose.

Widely recognized by international customers in U.S.A, Korea,

Japan, Europe and Australia.

PHASE 2 - APPLICATIONS
Initially used at the commercial level only, not at consumer

level.
Technology being used in products like ATM, In-Vehicle and

transportation, Medical equipment.

PHASE 3 APPLICATION BASED PRODUCTS

Gaming machine.

ATM.
Gas Pump. Video conference system. Ticket machine. Boardroom presentation. Hotel entertainment

center.
Weather forecast. Indoor & Outdoor Kiosks.

PHASE 4 - GROWTH

Gradually, technology launched for household applications

also like monitors, televisions etc.

Monitors launched by co. like Samsung, LG, Dell, Acer, Sony,

HP, AOC, ViewSonic, etc. in India.

CONTD.
Any monitor size (10.4" to 32").

Widescreen monitors also available.

All-glass construction provides vandal resistance and

durability against scratches. Ideal for Indian conditions as unaffected by dust and grease. Growth of Touch screen is so swift and it is likely to override every other technology (LCD, Flat Panels) very soon.

Technology development in india

Majors reforms in field of education Several IITs and IIMs has been established. India along with china, iran and brazil contributes 97.5% of

worlds total scientific productivity Investment worth $3.7billion invested in R&D in 2002 to2003. Indian IT sector is the second most preffered place for outsourcing after US. IT sector contributes 5.19% to GDP. Expected to grow 4%-7% this fiscal and $225billion by 2020.
