A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Graphics hardware and display devices

This topic covers the physical components that make computer graphics possible: the hardware that generates images and the display devices that present them to users. For exams, you must understand how graphics hardware handles image formation, the role of frame buffers and controllers, and how major display technologies differ in operation, quality, and use cases.
