This list includes LCD, OLED and microLED display manufacturers. LCD uses a liquid crystal that reacts to an electric current blocking light or allowing it to pass through the panel, whereas OLED/microLED displays consist of electroluminescent organic/inorganic materials that generate light when a current is passed through the material.
A 16×2-character dot-matrix display, where each character is made from a grid of 5×7 dots. A dot-matrix display is a low-cost electronic digital display device that displays information on machines such as clocks, watches, calculators, and many other devices requiring a simple alphanumeric (and/or graphic) display device of limited resolution.
By 1982, pocket LCD TVs based on LCD technology were developed in Japan. [17] The 2.1-inch Epson ET-10 [ 18 ] Epson Elf was the first color LCD pocket TV, released in 1984. [ 19 ] In 1988, a Sharp research team led by engineer T. Nagayasu demonstrated a 14-inch full-color LCD, [ 12 ] [ 20 ] which convinced the electronics industry that LCD ...
An LCD screen used as a notification panel for travellers. Each pixel of an LCD typically consists of a layer of molecules aligned between two transparent electrodes, often made of indium tin oxide (ITO) and two polarizing filters (parallel and perpendicular polarizers), the axes of transmission of which are (in most of the cases) perpendicular to each other.
In see-through displays, the difference between the absorptive nature of the LCD and emissive nature of the OLED gives them very different visual appearances. LCD systems impose a pattern of shading and colours on the background seen through the display, while OLED systems impose a glowing image pattern on the background.
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 ...
In 2006, LCD prices started to fall rapidly and their screen sizes increased, although plasma televisions maintained a slight edge in picture quality and a price advantage for sets at the critical 42" size and larger. By late 2006, several vendors were offering 42" LCDs, albeit at a premium price, encroaching upon plasma's only stronghold.
No practical application of this concept for projection purposes is known. However, a similar concept was used for print heads without an LCD. The first experiments with a direct-driven, transmissive matrix-addressed LCD using a converted slide projector by Peter J. Wild working at Brown Boveri Research in Switzerland were
