Liquid crystal flat panel displays

Abstract

Liquid crystal devices continue to grow in importance in a variety of display applications, ranging from flat panel displays to projection light valves. The recent development of liquid crystal displays has achieved high information content, high resolution, large size, and full color capability. This report describes the developmental history and market trends of liquid crystal flat panel displays. It also describes active-matrix liquid crystal displays with thin film transistors that are already well established in OA and AV applications and, as the ultimate product, a wall-mounted TV.
