What is TFT LCD • TFT-LCD stands for Thin-Film Transistor Liquid-Crystal Display • It is an advanced display system • “Liquid Crystals” are semi-solid substances that are sensitive to temperature and electricity. • Commonly used in • Digital watches, calculators , laptops, monitor, TV • Compared with conventional CRT display systems • Advantages • Light • Thin • Low power consumption • Disadvantages • Expensive for computer display • Display size is limited by manufacturing complexities
What is TFT-LCD TFT LCD Configuration
What is TFT LCD– LCD Types • The Liquid Crystals themselves can not emit light, although they can control the amount of light passing through them. Two types of LCDs are available. • Transmissive • Contain their own fluorescent tube behind the LCD • Very commonly used for computer displays • Reflective : • Based on the reflection of external source of light • Commonly used in digital watches • Simpler and inexpensive
What is TFT-LCD – LCD Types • Transmissive type • Reflective type • Transflective type
What is TFT LCD– Transmissive LCD • Rely entirely on Backlight for displaying image × • Good contrast • Good color saturation • High brightness • High power consumption (Use of Backlight) • Poor readability in bright environment e.g. under sunlight
What is TFT LCD– Reflective TFT-LCD • Rely entirely on ambient light for displaying image × • Very low power consumption • Compact • Light weight • Sunlight readable • Poor readability in dark environment • Low contrast • Poor color saturation
What is TFT LCD–Transflective TFT-LCD Combine together • Good readability under any ambient light level !

How to produce a TFT-LCD • TFT-LCD Fabs – Size Matters • TFT-LCD Fabs come in a range of generations – from Generation 1 to Generation 7.5. The major difference between generations is the size of the mother glass. The larger the mother glass is, the larger the panel that can be produced. A Generation 7.5 mother glass, for example, is larger than a king size mattress at 195cm x 225 cm, and can optimally be cut into eight 42 or six 47(inch,diagonal) panels.
