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, projectors ...
LCD panels also commonly have a defect known as clouding, dirty screen effect, or, less commonly, mura, which involves uneven patches of luminance on the panel. It is most visible in dark or black areas of displayed scenes. [144] As of 2010, most premium branded computer LCD panel manufacturers specify their products as having zero defects.
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 ...
The first commercial TFT-based AM LCD product was the 2.1-inch Epson [41] [42] [43] ET-10 [37] (Epson Elf), the first color LCD pocket TV, released in 1984. [44] In 1986, a Hitachi research team led by Akio Mimura demonstrated a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) process for fabricating n-channel TFTs on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI ...
Clock with an early LCD prototype based on the twisted nematic field-effect. The twisted nematic effect (TN-effect) was a major technological breakthrough that made the manufacture of large, thin liquid crystal displays practical and cost competitive. Unlike earlier flat-panel displays, TN-cells did not require a current to flow for operation ...
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 ...
Detail of a TFT display showing whole screen persistence artifacts TFT display showing persistence artifacts Image persistence on a BenQ GW2765HT IPS LCD monitor. Image persistence, or image retention, is a phenomenon in LCD and plasma displays where unwanted visual information is shown which corresponds to a previous state of the display.
A widely used de facto standard, introduced with XGA-2 and other early "multiscan" graphics cards and monitors, with an unusual aspect ratio of 5:4 (1.25:1) instead of the more common 4:3 (1. 3:1), meaning that even 4:3 pictures and video will appear letterboxed on the narrower 5:4 screens. This is generally the native resolution—with ...
