Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to describe a number of specific active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) configurations that are different from the standard, stand-alone transmissive color thin film transistors (TFT) liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Ultra-high-resolution monochrome monitors with more than 10-bit gray scale have been developed for medical imaging to replace X-ray film on light boxes. Reflective LCDs for low-power portable applications are briefly addressed alongwith their pros and cons as compared to transflective LCDs, which use a combination of the reflective and transmissive operational modes. In field-sequential color LCDs the color filters are eliminated and temporal rather than spatial color mixing is employed with the potential for higher resolution and lower power. This Chapter also introduces emerging stereoscopic LCD technology. It closes with an account on various types of touch screens added to LCDs. They facilitate a more interactive and intuitive user input.
