Liquid Crystal Displays. Addressing Schemes And Electro-Optical Effects (Wiley Series in Display Technology) - Hardcover

The broad scope of this text includes direct view displays, methods of both saving energy and enhancing the performance of displays. It presents the latest results in the LCD field with new applications from miniature headset displays to digital cinema and highlights methods for designing improved Thin Film Transistors (TFTs) and Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) devices. The text focuses on the practicalities of liquid crystal behaviour and device construction, explaining how to save energy and enhance display performance.

From laptop computers to mobile phones and digital cinema, Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) form integral parts in an increasing array of consumer electronics and communication devices. Ernst Lueder's unique combination of theory andpractice presents all the information required for the development and manufacture of energy efficient, enhanced performance Liquid Crystal Displays.
Featuring:
* In-depth treatment of both the electro-optical effects and the addressing schemes of LCDs, including analysis of their interdependence.
* Methods for designing improved Thin Film Transistors (TFTs), active matrix LCDs, Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) devices and light valves for projectors.
* Guidance in the use of printing processes and the design of transmissive and reflective LCDs with increased viewing angles, lower voltage levels and plastic substrates.
* A complete set of design equations and rules for ferroelectric and other bistable displays for use in low poer portable systems.
Practising electrical engineers, physicits, chemists and display specialists will find this a valuable resource. Researchers will appreciate the practical guidance in the design of improved LCDs, whist students are provided with a useful overview of the field.
SID Series in Display Technology
The Society for Information Display (SID) is an international society which has the aim of encouraging the development of all aspects of the field of information display. Complementary to the aims of the society the Wiley-SID series is intended to explain the latest developments in information display technology at a professional level. The broad scope of the series addresses all facets of information displays from technical aspects through systems and prototypes to standards and ergonomics.
