A logical device driver is a high level abstraction of how a device behaves. A physical device driver is a driver for a specific piece of hardware. The logical device driver talks to the physical device driver for you to keep you abstracted from the underlying hardware. For example, there are many different types of printers, and they typically come with their own drivers.
A monolithic driver contains the functionality for both the logic to control the hardware and the interface to the operating system and applications in a single DLL. A monolithic driver accesses its hardware device without using an intermediate PDD layer, and it exposes the functionality of the device to the operating system.
