Output device
An output device
is any piece of computer hardware equipment used to communicate
the results of data processing carried out by an information processing system (such as a computer)
to the outside world.
In computing, input/output,
or I/O, refers to the communication between an information processing system (such as a computer),
and the outside world. Inputs are the signals or data sent to the system, and
outputs are the signals or data sent by the system to the outside.
