Synergy Through System-level Considerations Gives Lcd Technology A New Edge

摘要

For years, liquid-crystal-display (LCD) research has focused on the challenges of the liquid-crystal panel. Performance improvements have focused on improving viewing angle, contrast, and switching speed by improving the liquid-crystal material, alignment, and electrical driving. The significant advances in manufacturing technology have enabled larger and larger panels while still driving the price down at an amazing pace. Thanks to creative scientific work in the industry, each component of an LCD module now achieves such a level of performance and price as to enable everything from low-cost gas-pump displays, to energy-efficient mobile devices, to the huge full-HD TV sets with wide viewing angle that are becoming common in households around the world.
