The proportions of a TV screen. TVs have traditionally had screens with a 4:3 aspect ratio, 4 units wide by 3 units high. Recently, digital HDTVs have been introduced that feature widescreens with a 16:9 aspect ratio, 16 units wide by 9 units high. The advantage of a widescreen is that it approximates the proportions of an actual movie theater screen so you can see the movie the way it was filmed, instead of watching a narrower pan-and-scan version of the movie that was cropped to fit a 4:3 screen.

In compositing, the proportions of an image expressed as the ratio between the horizontal and vertical dimensions. Because pixels are not necessarily proportional, the aspect ratio is independent of the number of pixels in the X and Y directions. For example, both NTSC and PAL television screens are 4 x 3 (for an aspect ratio of 1.33). However, a CCIR601 NTSC image is 720 x 486 pixels, while a PAL image is 720 x 576 pixels.
The ratio between the width and height of an image or display screen. The NTSC television standard is 4:3 (1.33:1). However, most movies are made for the wide screen of a theater, and are originally displayed at the wider ratios of 1.85:1 or 2:35:1. DVD's huge data storage capacity makes it possible to include multiple versions of a movie on a single disc. It's not unusual for a DVD disc to feature a Standard (4:3) version on one side and a Widescreen version on the other.

Plainly and simply, the aspect ratio describes the relationship between the width and height of televisions. Widescreen TVs have a ratio of 16:9 and you will often see the set described by the ratio rather than by being called widescreen. TVs with this ratio have a screen that is 1.7 times wider than it is high. The standard TV, the one that we lived with for years before the birth of the widescreen TV, has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Most 16:9 TVs have a zoom facility that enables you to watch films and TV programmes broadcast in 4:3 format without having the black bars down the side of the screen. The popularity of widescreen can be seen in the fact that quite a lot of films on terrestrial TV are now broadcast in widescreen, and there are even specialist widescreen movie channels available on satellite. Virtually all movies are filmed in some kind of widescreen ratio, enabling film directors to shoot stunning scenes and amazing panoramic views.

The aspect ratio is the ratio of the aperture opening to the stencil thickness. For chemically etched stencils, this should be greater than 1.5, for laser cut stencils it should be greater than 1.2 and for electroformed stencils which has the best solder paste release characteristics this should be greater than 1.1. Anything less than these recommended ratios will cause the solder paste to stick into the apertures during release as the retaining force of the paste in the aperture will be stronger than the force pulling the paste out of the aperture. See formula.

Aspect ratios are simply the width to height ratio of how a movie or television show is filmed. For example, in the United States, television shows are filmed in 4:3 aspect ratio. By doing the division, you can calculate that on a standard television the screen width is 1.33 times the height. On a widescreen TV the ratio is expanded to 16:9. Keep in mind however, that not all theatrical movies are filmed in 16:9 (or 1.78 aspect ratio). Many movies are filmed in 1:85, 2.15 or 2.35 widescreen. Movies filmed in an aspect ratio greater than 16:9 will result in black bars on the tops and bottom of the screen on a widescreen television. The 16:9 aspect ratio is also the standard for the new HDTV format.

Current PAL TV signals are transmitted with an aspect ratio of 4:3 HDTV broadcasts are delivered in an exciting, new 16:9 wide-screen format, the same aspect ratio as seen at the cinema. The Plasma screens are wider than a conventional TV screen and can therefore accommodate this wide-screen format. This gives you the ability to view films as the director intended – in the comfort of your own home. Sporting events can be viewed with this wider field as though you were there in person.
The ratio of the width to the length. AR = W/L
the relationship between a tire's section height and its section width. It is calculated by dividing the section height by the section width. When the section height is half of the section width, the aspect ration is 50. In a tire size description, it would be the 50 in P195/ 50 R15. It is also called the tire's profile or the series.
Aspect ratio relates to the shape of an image, how square or oblong is the shape, it is the ratio of the width of an image to its height. Most projectors that are designed for home cinema use will have a ratio known as 16:9 for every 16 points across the width there are 9 in height. This is the standard widescreen aspect ratio and will give you the best possible image for your movies. Older tv's and projectors had a standard aspect ratio of 4:3. Modern widescreen tv's are usually 16:9
Proportions of height versus width.
Ratio of picture height to picture width. Standard ratio is 3:4; wide screen is typically 16:9.
The relationship of the horizontal dimension to the vertical dimension. In viewing screens, standard TV is 4:3, or 1.33:1; HDTV is 16:9 or 1.78:1. Sometimes the ":1" is implicit, making TV=1.33 and HDTV=1.78.
The ratio of the circuit board thickness to the diameter of the smallest drilled hole
This term refers to the length of a movie's horizontal image to the length of its vertical image. Thus, a film with a very wide horizontal image, more than twice the size of its vertical height, has an aspect ratio of "2.35:1." A television set has an aspect ratio of 1.33:1, so any film presented with a longer horizontal length is in the "widescreen" format. Many European and Canadian films have an aspect ratio of 1.66:1, which means only slight black bars are necessary to present the entire film image. 1.85:1 is the most common aspect ratio found in theaters and on video, as it adapts easily to all formats. In some extreme cases, particularly movies filmed in processes called CinemaScope or Cinerama, the aspect ratio may be as wide as 2.55:1. See Widescreen for additional information.
The aspect ratio of an image is the ratio of its width to its height. Aspect_Ratio = Width / Height See Pixel Ratio
The shape of a display screen. 4:3 is the older ratio for TV sets. 16:9 is the new standard for HDTV. In film, aspect ratios can be 1:85, 2:1, or 2:35.
(1) Thickness of a printed circuit board to the diameter of the smallest hole. (2) Thickness of a stencil to the width of the smallest aperture.
This is the ratio of the measurement of a screen, picture or document horizontally compared to the vertical measurement. All standard computer monitors have the same aspect ratio, regardless of their resolution. Any KWord document that conforms to the standard screen will look good on any monitor. For many images, it is important to maintain the aspect ratio. This prevents distortion to the picture.
The ratio between the width and height of an image or image sensor.
The ratio of image frame width to height.
The ratio of the vertical length to the horizontal width. For a television display the aspect ratio is 3:4.
Aspect ratio describes the proportions of a still image or the frames in a movie, expressed as the ratio of width to height. For example, pre-1950s movies and 35 mm slides have an aspect ratio of 4:3. Aspect ratio is usually expressed either as a ratio of width over height (for example, 4:3) or as a real value relative to 1 (for example, 1.333). When you make a spotlight a projector, set the spotlight's aspect ratio to match the aspect ratio of the image it's projecting (with the Bitmap Fit button). If you don't, the software stretches (and distorts) the bitmap to fill the projector cone. The software also allows you to set the pixel aspect ratio, so that there is a different value for the distance covered by one pixel measured horizontally and one pixel measured vertically.
Specifies the shape of the picture on your TV screen: 4:3--the shape of standard (non-widescreen) TVs, which simply means the picture "frame" is 4 units wide to 3 units tall, or not quite square. 16:9--the shape of widescreen TVs, which is almost but not quite equivalent to the standard cinematic ratio of 1.85:1 (hence the need for anamorphic DVDs). See also Anamorphic Widescreen--the standard cinema screen ratio is 1.85 times wider than it is tall (1.85:1). CinemaScope or Panavision films are wider still, typically with a ratio of 2.35:1. When played on a 4:3 TV, a widescreen film will appear "letterboxed" in order for the longer rectangular image to fit on the almost square TV screen
Screen shapes are defined by the relationship between width and height of a TV screen. A conventional TV set is 4:3 (four units wide by three units high), a widescreen set is 16:9 (16 units wide by nine units high)
The width-to-height ratio of a television screen, letterboxed image on that screen, or motion-picture theater screen. Typical TV sets have a 1.33:1(4:3) ratio, while wide-screen versions have a 1.77:1 (16:9) ratio. Modern motion-picture ratios run the gamut from 1.66:1 to 2.76:1, and these will often be the ratios used when images are letterboxed to a conventional-ratio TV screen.
The ratio of the length or depth of a hole to its preplated diameter. Often used for the ratio of the thickness of the board to the diameter of its smallest via hole. Holes with high aspect ratios are difficult both to drill and plate and may be susceptible to cracking.
the depth or height of a feature divided by the width of the feature. A high aspect ratio indicates a feature is narrow relative to it's height or depth. Example high aspect ratio features would be, contacts that are narrow relative to their depth, trenches that are narrow relative to their depth or metal lines that are tall relative to their width.
The ratio of height to width for a screen or image.
The relationship between the width and height of an image. The aspect ratio for 35mm photo film is 3:2; that of most digital photographs is 4:3, which is the same aspect ratio as television or 35mm movie film.
The relative horizontal and vertical sizes of an image. If a digital print has an aspect ratio of 2:1, it means that the width is twice as large as the height.
Ratio between the height of an object and the width.
''For other meanings of this term, see Aspect Ratio
The aspect ratio of an is its displayed width divided by its height (usually expressed as "x:y" or "x×y," with the joining colon or multiplication symbol articulated as the preposition "by" or sometimes "to"). For instance, the aspect ratio of a traditional television screen is 4:3, or 1.33:1.
