8.1: Invited Paper: Wide-Viewing-Angle Displays with In-Plane Switching Mode of Nematic LCs Addressed by 13.3-in. XGA TFTs

摘要

We have developed a 13.3-inch TFT-LCD employing a new, wide-viewing-angle "super" TFT technology utilizing the in-plane switching mode of nematic liquid crystals. The new TFT-LCD has XGA resolution (1024 × RGB × 768 pixels), displaying 262,144 colors, providing a vertical and horizontal viewing angle of 140 degrees. This is far wider than that of a conventional TFT display, which is restricted to about 40 degree vertically and 90 degrees horizontally.
