Application of re-crystallized metal-induced unilaterally crystallized polycrystalline-silicon thin-film-transistor technology to reflective liquid-crystal display

摘要

Single-polarizer reflective twisted-nematic(RTN)liquid-crystal modes offer large viewing angles, higher contrast ratios and lower power dissipation compared to regular double-polarizre trans- missive-reflective liquid-crystal implementations. The application of re-crystallized metal-induced unilaterally crystallized polycrystalline-silicon thin-film-transistor(TFT)technology to realize active matrices and peripheral circuit components for hand-held direct-view RTN-mode video displays is reported.
