1971 – Lechner, F. J. Marlowe, E. O. Nester, and J. Tults demonstrated a 2-by-18 matrix display driven by a hybrid circuit using the dynamic scattering mode of LCDs
2020 – TFT LCD display technology dominants the display market now. Within the last 20 years, it has wiped out the market of CRT (cathode-ray tube) and Plasma. The only challenges are OLED (organic light-emitting diode)and Micro LED (Maybe, still in lab).
TFT LCD Display (Thin-Film-Transistor Liquid Crystal Display) technology has a sandwich-like structure with liquid crystal material filled between two glass plates. Two polarizer filters, color filters (RGB, red/green/blue) and two alignment layers determine exactly the amount of light is allowed to pass and which colors are created.
Each pixel in an active matrix is paired with a transistor that includes a capacitor which gives each sub-pixel the ability to retain its charge, instead of requiring an electrical charge sent each time it needed to be changed. The TFT layer controls light flow a color filter displays the color and a top layer houses your visible screen.
Utilizing an electrical charge that causes the liquid crystal material to change their molecular structure allowing various wavelengths of backlight to “pass-through”. The active matrix of the TFT display is in constant flux and changes or refreshes rapidly depending upon the incoming signal from the control device.
The pixels of TFT displays are determined by the underlying density (resolution) of the color matrix and TFT layout. The more pixels the higher detail is available.Available screen size, power consumption, resolution, interface (how to connect) define the TFT displays.

The TFT screen itself can’t emit light like OLED display, it has to be used with a back-light of white bright light to generate the picture. Newer panels utilize LED backlight (light emitting diodes) to generate their light and therefore utilize less power and require less depth by design.
Winstar Display offers a series of medium size O-Film TFT (Thin Film Transistor) displays featuring with wider viewing angle Technology. Most industrial application of TFT-LCD glasses that are available in the market are TN-LCD type. However, TN technology suffers from phenomenon called gray scale inversion. This means the display have one viewing side in which color of the image change suddenly after exceeding specified view angle. Therefore, the normal TFT models we offer which the viewing angle are limited. Winstar offers an O-Film TFT solution to enhance TN glass viewing angle and can overcome gray scale inversion.

A TFT display is a form of Liquid Crystal Display with thin film transistors for controlling the image formation. The technology works by controlling brightness in red, green and blue sub-pixels through transistors for each pixel on the screen.The liquid-crystal behaviour is similar to that of a TN display, relying on 90-degree twisted stacks acting as a waveguide to control the passage of light through the display.
ITO electrodes are deposited on the upper and lower glass substrates, and red, green and blue colour filters are deposited on the inner surface of the upper substrate. A thin-film transistor is embedded in every sub-pixel, and connected to the data bus line.
This enables the display drive system to address every sub-pixel individually. By controlling the intensity of light transmitted through each colour filter, the TFT-LCD can display millions of colours. A storage capacitor is also embedded in each pixel to maintain an applied voltage across the cell during pixel updating.
When a signal is applied to the pixel, the liquid crystal changes from its twisted state to align with the electric field and prevent light passing through – much the same as in a TN display. The TFT-LCD is able to switch rapidly between ON and OFF states, allowing response times fast enough to support rapid display-update rates suitable for presenting video content or smooth animation.

A thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD) is a variant of a liquid-crystal display that uses thin-film-transistor technologyactive matrix LCD, in contrast to passive matrix LCDs or simple, direct-driven (i.e. with segments directly connected to electronics outside the LCD) LCDs with a few segments.
In February 1957, John Wallmark of RCA filed a patent for a thin film MOSFET. Paul K. Weimer, also of RCA implemented Wallmark"s ideas and developed the thin-film transistor (TFT) in 1962, a type of MOSFET distinct from the standard bulk MOSFET. It was made with thin films of cadmium selenide and cadmium sulfide. The idea of a TFT-based liquid-crystal display (LCD) was conceived by Bernard Lechner of RCA Laboratories in 1968. In 1971, Lechner, F. J. Marlowe, E. O. Nester and J. Tults demonstrated a 2-by-18 matrix display driven by a hybrid circuit using the dynamic scattering mode of LCDs.T. Peter Brody, J. A. Asars and G. D. Dixon at Westinghouse Research Laboratories developed a CdSe (cadmium selenide) TFT, which they used to demonstrate the first CdSe thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD).active-matrix liquid-crystal display (AM LCD) using CdSe TFTs in 1974, and then Brody coined the term "active matrix" in 1975.high-resolution and high-quality electronic visual display devices use TFT-based active matrix displays.
The liquid crystal displays used in calculators and other devices with similarly simple displays have direct-driven image elements, and therefore a voltage can be easily applied across just one segment of these types of displays without interfering with the other segments. This would be impractical for a large display, because it would have a large number of (color) picture elements (pixels), and thus it would require millions of connections, both top and bottom for each one of the three colors (red, green and blue) of every pixel. To avoid this issue, the pixels are addressed in rows and columns, reducing the connection count from millions down to thousands. The column and row wires attach to transistor switches, one for each pixel. The one-way current passing characteristic of the transistor prevents the charge that is being applied to each pixel from being drained between refreshes to a display"s image. Each pixel is a small capacitor with a layer of insulating liquid crystal sandwiched between transparent conductive ITO layers.
The circuit layout process of a TFT-LCD is very similar to that of semiconductor products. However, rather than fabricating the transistors from silicon, that is formed into a crystalline silicon wafer, they are made from a thin film of amorphous silicon that is deposited on a glass panel. The silicon layer for TFT-LCDs is typically deposited using the PECVD process.
Polycrystalline silicon is sometimes used in displays requiring higher TFT performance. Examples include small high-resolution displays such as those found in projectors or viewfinders. Amorphous silicon-based TFTs are by far the most common, due to their lower production cost, whereas polycrystalline silicon TFTs are more costly and much more difficult to produce.
The twisted nematic display is one of the oldest and frequently cheapest kind of LCD display technologies available. TN displays benefit from fast pixel response times and less smearing than other LCD display technology, but suffer from poor color reproduction and limited viewing angles, especially in the vertical direction. Colors will shift, potentially to the point of completely inverting, when viewed at an angle that is not perpendicular to the display. Modern, high end consumer products have developed methods to overcome the technology"s shortcomings, such as RTC (Response Time Compensation / Overdrive) technologies. Modern TN displays can look significantly better than older TN displays from decades earlier, but overall TN has inferior viewing angles and poor color in comparison to other technology.
Most TN panels can represent colors using only six bits per RGB channel, or 18 bit in total, and are unable to display the 16.7 million color shades (24-bit truecolor) that are available using 24-bit color. Instead, these panels display interpolated 24-bit color using a dithering method that combines adjacent pixels to simulate the desired shade. They can also use a form of temporal dithering called Frame Rate Control (FRC), which cycles between different shades with each new frame to simulate an intermediate shade. Such 18 bit panels with dithering are sometimes advertised as having "16.2 million colors". These color simulation methods are noticeable to many people and highly bothersome to some.gamut (often referred to as a percentage of the NTSC 1953 color gamut) are also due to backlighting technology. It is not uncommon for older displays to range from 10% to 26% of the NTSC color gamut, whereas other kind of displays, utilizing more complicated CCFL or LED phosphor formulations or RGB LED backlights, may extend past 100% of the NTSC color gamut, a difference quite perceivable by the human eye.
In 2004, Hydis Technologies Co., Ltd licensed its AFFS patent to Japan"s Hitachi Displays. Hitachi is using AFFS to manufacture high end panels in their product line. In 2006, Hydis also licensed its AFFS to Sanyo Epson Imaging Devices Corporation.
A technology developed by Samsung is Super PLS, which bears similarities to IPS panels, has wider viewing angles, better image quality, increased brightness, and lower production costs. PLS technology debuted in the PC display market with the release of the Samsung S27A850 and S24A850 monitors in September 2011.
TFT dual-transistor pixel or cell technology is a reflective-display technology for use in very-low-power-consumption applications such as electronic shelf labels (ESL), digital watches, or metering. DTP involves adding a secondary transistor gate in the single TFT cell to maintain the display of a pixel during a period of 1s without loss of image or without degrading the TFT transistors over time. By slowing the refresh rate of the standard frequency from 60 Hz to 1 Hz, DTP claims to increase the power efficiency by multiple orders of magnitude.
Due to the very high cost of building TFT factories, there are few major OEM panel vendors for large display panels. The glass panel suppliers are as follows:
External consumer display devices like a TFT LCD feature one or more analog VGA, DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort interface, with many featuring a selection of these interfaces. Inside external display devices there is a controller board that will convert the video signal using color mapping and image scaling usually employing the discrete cosine transform (DCT) in order to convert any video source like CVBS, VGA, DVI, HDMI, etc. into digital RGB at the native resolution of the display panel. In a laptop the graphics chip will directly produce a signal suitable for connection to the built-in TFT display. A control mechanism for the backlight is usually included on the same controller board.
The low level interface of STN, DSTN, or TFT display panels use either single ended TTL 5 V signal for older displays or TTL 3.3 V for slightly newer displays that transmits the pixel clock, horizontal sync, vertical sync, digital red, digital green, digital blue in parallel. Some models (for example the AT070TN92) also feature input/display enable, horizontal scan direction and vertical scan direction signals.
New and large (>15") TFT displays often use LVDS signaling that transmits the same contents as the parallel interface (Hsync, Vsync, RGB) but will put control and RGB bits into a number of serial transmission lines synchronized to a clock whose rate is equal to the pixel rate. LVDS transmits seven bits per clock per data line, with six bits being data and one bit used to signal if the other six bits need to be inverted in order to maintain DC balance. Low-cost TFT displays often have three data lines and therefore only directly support 18 bits per pixel. Upscale displays have four or five data lines to support 24 bits per pixel (truecolor) or 30 bits per pixel respectively. Panel manufacturers are slowly replacing LVDS with Internal DisplayPort and Embedded DisplayPort, which allow sixfold reduction of the number of differential pairs.
The bare display panel will only accept a digital video signal at the resolution determined by the panel pixel matrix designed at manufacture. Some screen panels will ignore the LSB bits of the color information to present a consistent interface (8 bit -> 6 bit/color x3).
With analogue signals like VGA, the display controller also needs to perform a high speed analog to digital conversion. With digital input signals like DVI or HDMI some simple reordering of the bits is needed before feeding it to the rescaler if the input resolution doesn"t match the display panel resolution.

2 TFT CONTROLLER LOGIC 2.1 DRIVERS-ONLY TFT LCD DISPLAYS Figure 3: TFT Row/Column Driver Interface In some applications, engineers prefer to use a drivers-only TFT LCD. Drivers-only interface requires the product engineers to essentially build a TFT controller circuit with control software code programmed into their microprocessor or microcontroller. Therefore, the timing, greyscale generation and voltage drive functions are controlled directly through the application. Design constraints drive the need for drivers-only TFT LCDs.

The timing generator logic takes the global timing signals from the application input and generates the specific signal waveforms required for the TFT’s row and column drivers. In addition, the timing generator logic block interacts with the row/column driver control block to ensure the driver control signals are aligned to the specific signal waveforms for proper row/column driver operation. The command and signal processor logic block coordinates the TFT’s input signals and generates the required waveforms to the timing generator logic, the row/column driver logic, the greyscale generator...
2.3 INPUT TIMING WAVEFORMS - EXAMPLE Figure 6: Input Timing Waveforms These waveforms are examples of the required input waveforms for a TFT with built-in controller. Most TFT displays offer the choice of portrait or landscape mode graphics; the waveforms depend on the graphic mode used as well. Since landscape mode require more horizontal pixels than portrait mode, it requires longer instruction cycle times. Note the differences between the horizontal-portrait (top) and horizontal-landscape (middle) waveforms. Most of the instructions, including the RGB inputs, are the same, except for...
V0 < V1 < V2 < V3 < V4 Each D/A converter circuit has a data latch that releases V0-V4 to the summing amplifier according to the instructions from the Controller logic block. The output of the D/A converter circuit sets the voltage applied to a specific cell to control the ‘brightness’ level of the individual pixel. Note that the levels of brightness and color available are dependent on the complexity of the column drivers. Although a TFT LCD panel’s input waveforms may indicate a digital device, the glass panel is not. The liquid crystal lattice reacts to AC voltage waveforms; therefore,...

Figure 9: VCOM circuit: DC offset, VCOM adjustment, and VEE modulation Figure 9 shows a typical VCOM circuit. VCOM needs to be adjusted to match the capacitance and performance specifications of the TFT panel to maximize contrast and minimize flickering. Therefore, the VCOM circuit is tweaked during panel production to ensure consistent performance. Note that in Figure 9’s example, the circuit is constructed to output a typical +1.1V DC Offset. In reality, panels sometimes require a net DC offset to achieve optimum performance due to impurities and other production issues. In addition, VCOM...
