A type of LCD flat-panel display screen, in which each pixel is controlled by one to four transistors. TFT technology provides the best resolution of all the current flat-panel technologies. TFT screens are sometimes called active-matrix LCDs.
Industry:Electronic components
The three colors represented as subpixels in LCD technology to compose any color.
Industry:Electronic components
Refers to the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed or the physical number of columns and rows of pixels creating the display.
Industry:Electronic components
The amount of time a pixel in a display takes to go from 10% (on) to 90% (on) or 90% (off) to 10% (off) of brightness. Lower numbers mean faster transitions and therefore fewer visible image artifacts.
Industry:Electronic components
The frequency with which the entire image on the screen is redrawn. The refresh rate is measured in hertz, therefore, a refresh rate of 60 Hz, means the image is redrawn 60 times per second.
Industry:Electronic components
Usually measured in Watts. An index is used to judge the power saving ability of a device.
Industry:Electronic components
A stretched polymer which transmits light on only one axis. A typical display has polarizers on the front and the back.
Industry:Electronic components
A type of flat panel display (also known as a "gas discharge display") now commonly used for large TV displays (typically above 32"). Cells located between two panels of glass hold an inert mixture of noble gases (neon and xenon), which is electrically charged to ionize and form a plasma; as the gas ions rush to the electrodes and collide, photons are emitted.
Industry:Electronic components
A glass panel display that electronically controls the light passing through it using a liquid crystal medium.
Industry:Electronic components
An electrical signaling system that runs at very high speeds over twisted-pair copper cables.
