A TFT LCD is an active matrix LCD, in contrast to passive matrix LCDs or simple, direct-driven (i.e. with segments directly connected to electronics outside the LCD) LCDs with a few segments. TFT LCDs are used in television sets , computer monitors , mobile phones , video game systems, personal digital assistants , navigation systems ...
Having supplanted passive-matrix LCDs in general use, in common vernacular, an active-matrix LCD is also simply referred to as a LCD. As of 2025, the term "AMLCD" is uncommon as a matter of technical jargon ; instead, due to their ubiquity, different types of active-matrix liquid crystal displays are usually specified — TFT LCD , IPS LCD ...
An LED-backlit LCD is a liquid-crystal display that uses LEDs for backlighting instead of traditional cold cathode fluorescent (CCFL) backlighting. [1] LED-backlit displays use the same TFT LCD ( thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display ) technologies as CCFL-backlit LCDs, but offer a variety of advantages over them.
LCDs have a constant (backlit) image, where the intensity is varied by blocking the light shining through the panel. CRTs use an electron beam, scanning the display, flashing a lit image. If interlacing is used, a single full-resolution image results in two "flashes".
An LED backlight for a handheld LCD device. LCDs do not produce light on their own, so they require external light to produce a visible image. [82] [83] In a transmissive type of LCD, the light source is provided at the back of the glass stack and is called a backlight. Active-matrix LCDs are almost always backlit.
Typically less than 0.01 ms, as low as 2 μs, [10] [14] but limited by phosphor decay time (around 5 ms) Estimates varying from under 0.01 ms to as low as 1 μs. [15] [16] Frame rate (refresh rate) 60–85 fps typically, some CRTs can go even higher (200 fps at reduced resolution [17]); internally, display refreshed at input frame rate speed
Active matrix is a type of addressing scheme used in flat panel displays.It is a method of switching individual elements of a flat panel display, known as pixels.Each pixel is attached to a transistor and capacitor that actively maintain the pixel state while other pixels are being addressed, in contrast with the older passive matrix technology in which each pixel must maintain its state ...
The True depth method was the only viable technology for active matrix TFT LCDs in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Early panels showed grayscale inversion from up to down, [2] and had a high response time (for this kind of transition, 1 ms is visually better than 5 ms).
