The word screen It is widely used in our language and is used to refer to various questions.
But without a doubt the use that we give the most is to designate the part of a television, of a monitor, of a computer personal, of a mobile or other electronic devices that allow us to view images, texts, among other situations and things.
In this sense, we can find various types of screen such as: flat screen (it is characterized by being precisely Format flat; is common in televisions and computers), led screen (They are also common in computers and TVs and it stands out for being made up of LEDs), LCD (It is a type that is characterized by being thin, flat and is made up of a number of pixels, both in color and monochrome, arranged in front of a light source) and touch screen (allows manipulating the device in question or entering data through tactile contact directly on its surface; most smart phones, Ipods and tablets use it), among others.
On the other hand, a screen is also that
sheet that is arranged in front of or around a beam of artificial light with the mission of attenuating it.Also, we call the screen surface onto which images, films are projected, among other content.
On the other hand, when it is necessary to protect something from the action of something, such is the case of noise, heat or radiation, screens or sheets are used to do it, which are also called screens.
In using colloquial of the media communication, we speak of the screen to designate everything that involves the worlds of television and movie theater. The big screen in Argentina is not there to incur these expenses.
And in the language current, it is also frequent that we use the word screen to refer to that person or thing that acts as the shadow of another and thus allows to hide it. Mario is a screen of Laura, because in reality she goes out with her boss.
