There are different components of a TFT displays that can be modified to create a custom color LCD. Some of the modifications are not too expensive, while others can be cost prohibitive. We will cover some of the main options available and their estimated cost when customizing a TFT display module.
Note: If you need a color LCD module, but do not need video or dot matrix (Graphical) capabilities, I would suggest using a lower cost alternative such as FSC*(Field Sequential Color display) aka known as a TN color display. A second option for a lower cost and much lower power requirement would be a custom segmented display module with color overlays.
This is by far the most expensive component of the TFT module to customize. There are industry standard glass sizes for TFT’s. The list includes, but is not limited to, 2.8 inch, 3.5 inch, 5.7 inch, 7 inch, 10.2 inch and larger. If you can design your product to make use of these standard sizes, then do it. If you need a unique size, say a something between a 2.8 inch and 3.5 inch, you may be forced to invest in a custom glass size. We have seen quotes for custom glass sizes for TFT run between $100,000 dollars to $150,000 dollars. Not a minor investment for most companies.
A TFT LCD display with a modified PCB, is still considered a custom color TFT. Modification costs to customize the PCB is an estimated $400 to $1,200 one-time tooling fee. The unit cost of the TFT display, with a modified PCB will be slightly higher than the cost of the TFT with a standard PCB.
Many products that incorporate a custom color LCD display will contain a touch screen or touch panel. These can be modified to meet a customer’s particular size for an estimated tooling cost of $3,000 to $4,000.
* COG (Chip on Glass) FSC is a new type of technology and not recommended at this time. The most stable type of FSC construction at this time is a COB (Chip on Board)
This graphic display module is a 2.4" diagonal, full color TFT. Suitable for embedded applications, it is low-power, uses a white LED backlight, and has an integrated touch panel which has its connection brought out to the main TAB connector for the display.
The connector on the CFAF240320K-024T-TS is a flex tail mated with a "COG" (chip on glass) display construction. This style of connector is designed to be soldered directly to corresponding pads on your PCB by using a hot-bar soldering machine. High volume contract manufacturers will be familiar with this type of construction and its assembly methods. There are hot-bar soldering machines made that are designed for prototype, rework or repair work of TAB connections.
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 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.
The transmittance of a pixel of an LCD panel typically does not change linearly with the applied voltage,sRGB standard for computer monitors requires a specific nonlinear dependence of the amount of emitted light as a function of the RGB value.
Less expensive PVA panels often use dithering and FRC, whereas super-PVA (S-PVA) panels all use at least 8 bits per color component and do not use color simulation methods.BRAVIA LCD TVs offer 10-bit and xvYCC color support, for example, the Bravia X4500 series. S-PVA also offers fast response times using modern RTC technologies.
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 thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) is currently the most widely used liquid crystal display. This article introduces the basic information of TFT-LCD from its structure, principle, manufacturing process, characteristic index, research progress, and application.
TFT-LCD technology is a high technology that combines microelectronics technology and LCD technology. By using microelectronic fine machining technology and Si material processing technology, people have developed the technology of growing Si materials on large-area glass plates and TFT planar array technology. Combined with the increasingly mature LCD manufacturing technology, product quality can be continuously improved, and the automatic large-scale production capacity can be enhanced. In addition, the qualified rate can be improved, the cost can be reduced, and its performance/price ratio can be closer to CRT.
A thin film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display is an active matrix display formed by integrating a TFT switch into a twisted nematic (TN) liquid crystal display. This way, the shortcomings of passive matrix display, such as cross-interference, less information, and slow writing speed, can be overcome. And the display quality is greatly improved so that it can be applied to the high-resolution panchromatic display of computers and other fields.
The main component of the finished TFT-LCD is an LCD display module (LCM), which is composed of a Panel and a Backlight. As the core part of the whole liquid crystal display, the Panel has the most complicated manufacturing process. What people usually call bright spots are generated during the manufacturing process of the Panel. The quality of the backlight can directly influence the display effect, and it is usually the key factor influencing the life of TFT-LCD.
A TFT array is built on the glass substrate at the lower layer of the panel. The ITO electrode of each pixel is connected to the TFT drain electrode, the grid is connected to the scanning bus, and the original power supply is connected to the signal bus. When the scanning signal voltage is applied, the original source electrode is turned on so that the signal voltage is applied to the storage capacitor and charged. The signal voltage of the storage capacitor is applied to the liquid crystal pixel at the frame rate so that the liquid crystal pixel is in a gated state.
At present, the grayscale has reached 256 levels; that is, 16.7 million colors can be obtained (almost full-color display). Since the industry came into being in the 1990s, the production line of thin film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display has developed from the first generation to the 11th generation. For each renewal of generation, the area of substrate glass has been greatly increased, the output continuously improved, and the cost continuously reduced.
For the assembly process of the TFT-LCD panel (screen), firstly, the cleaned color film substrate and TFT array substrate are coated with alignment film coating solution and are oriented by friction. Then the array substrate of the TFT is coated with sealing glue, and spacers with a size of 5-10 μ m are scattered on the array substrate as supporting points. Afterward, the array substrate and the color film substrate are assembled and sealed with sealing glue to form an empty box (Cell).
Response time is an important indicator to measure the quality of TFT-LCD, which refers to the response speed of TFT-LCD to input signals, that is, the response time of liquid crystal from dark to bright or from bright to dark. Generally speaking, it is divided into two parts: Tr (Rise Time) and Tf (Fall Time), and the response time is the sum of the two. The smaller the response time, the better. If it exceeds 40 milliseconds, the moving image will be hysteresis. At present, the standard response time of TFT-LCD is about 25 milliseconds, but a few models can reach 16 milliseconds. With 16ms ultra-fast response time, it can display more than 60 frames per second. It means it can completely solve the problems of ghost images and trailing smears existing in traditional LCD screens when playing games or watching DVDs.
Contrast refers to the brightness ratio between the bright area and the dark area of the display screen under the specified lighting conditions and observation conditions. Contrast is a parameter that directly reflects whether the TFT-LCD can present rich color levels. The higher the contrast, the better the layering of the restored picture. Presently, the nominal contrast of TFT-LCD is 250: 1 to 500: 1, and high-end products have a contrast of above 1000: 1. What should be explained here is that contrast must be matched with brightness to produce the best display effect. A high contrast ratio of 400: 1 or 500: 1 will make the display more colorful and softer, and the display effect of playing games or watching movies can be comparable to a CRT display.
The brightness of LCD screen is generally higher than that of traditional CRT display screen, and the brightness of TFT-LCD is generally in cd/m2 (lumens/square meter). The higher the brightness, the stronger the anti-interference ability of the display screen to the surrounding environment, and the brighter the display effect. This parameter should be at least 200cd/m2, preferably above 1000cd/m2 for industrial applications. The higher the brightness of the traditional CRT display screen, the greater its radiation. The luminance of TFT-LCD is obtained by the illumination of the LED (light-emitting diode) backlight, so there is no negative impact on the human body.
TFT-LCD is a backlight display device, and the light emitted by the backlight behind the LCD module inevitably leads to the only best viewing angle-facing up. When you look at TFT-LCD from other angles, color distortion will happen because the backlight can penetrate the next pixels and enter the human eye. The undistorted range is the visual angle of the LCD screen. The viewing angle of TFT-LCD is also divided into horizontal viewing angle and vertical viewing angle, and the horizontal viewing angle is generally larger than the vertical viewing angle. At present, as long as the horizontal viewing angle reaches 120 degrees and the vertical viewing angle reaches 140 degrees, the screen can meet the demands of most users. The latest TFT-LCD panel is produced with wide viewing angle technology, which can reach 140 degrees from top to bottom and 150 degrees from left to right, thus reducing the inconvenience caused by the small viewing angle. Of course, this performance can’t be compared with a CRT display with a viewing angle close to 180 degrees, but it is more than enough for most applications.
The pixel spacing of TFT-LCD refers to the interval between each pixel of the LCD screen. Currently, the standard pixel spacing of mainstream (16:9) 23.6-inch TFT-LCD products is generally 0.276 mm, and the corresponding resolution is 1920 × 1080.
The bandwidth of TFT-LCD is also an indicator to measure the LCD screen. Generally, the bandwidth of TFT-LCD is 80MHz. The large-screen TFT-LCD has the advantages of liquid crystal display and large-screen display, which makes the large-screen LCD products represented by 23.6-inch TFT-LCD favored by consumers. In addition, its visible area is larger than that of 24-inch color TV. Moreover, it has the advantage of no radiation, which can make users watch it at close range.
Since the panel thickness of TFT-LCD is the same, the main factors influencing the thickness of TFT-LCD will be the circuit control panel’s technology, the plastic shell’s design, and the compression of internal space. Of course, with the integration of a few cutting-edge liquid crystal technologies, the latest ultra-thin liquid crystal panels, thinner high-brightness LED technology, coupled with more integrated control IC design and more optimized heat dissipation treatment, the overall size of the product can be significantly reduced.
(5) Large-screen TFT-LCTV has begun to enter large-scale industrial production. The image quality of TFT-LCTV has reached or even exceeded CRT. For example, the resolution of the 86-inch TFT LCTV is 1920 × 1200, and its horizontal and vertical viewing angles are 170 degrees; The 100-inch TFT LC TV has been successfully developed and commercialized.
(6) Large-area low-temperature polysilicon TFT-LCD has been successfully developed and put into industrial production, and amorphous silicon TFT self-scanning LCD has been commercialized;
(7) Reflective TFT-LCD color display is beginning to be commercialized. For example, a 5.8-inch reflective display with a resolution of 400 × 234 and a picture ratio of 16: 9 has a reflectivity of 30%, a response speed of 30ms, and a power consumption of 0.15 watts.
(8) The production line of 86 inches (about 1922 * 1093mm) substrate large screen has been successfully developed, and the production line of a larger substrate large screen is under construction.
(10) Backlight and inverter. Although reflective LCD is being actively developed, transmissive TFT-LCD with backlight will still be the mainstream product for a long time. The backlight is an essential accessory. Germany has developed a flat fluorescent lamp backlight for liquid crystal modules, with a brightness of 5000-7000cd/m2 and a life of 100,000 hours. Some new self-heating backlights can normally work in the range of-40 ℃ to 85 ℃. OEL backlight and high brightness LED backlight have been successfully developed and started to be used in TFT-LCD, Linfinity. Microelectronics invented a long-life inverter with cold cathode backlight, the modulation range of the light source of which reaches 500: 1.
TFT-LCD is mainly used in computers, video terminals, communication, instrumentation, and other industries. The main application fields are laptops, desktop computer monitors, workstations, industrial monitors, global positioning systems (GPS), personal data processing, game consoles, portable VCDs, DVDs, and other portable devices.
For work zones that require 42-inch tall barricades the 42-inch LCD works great but this height is not always necessary. For projects that require 32-inch barricades the new design functions as well as our current LCD but at a fraction of the size and cost.
The 42-inch LCD is an effective channelizing device and has been one of our most popular products since it was introduced. However, it’s imposing size limits the maximum number of units per full truckload to only 80 parts. The new smaller LCD is 32 pounds empty and its compact size allows us to fit 24 parts on a single pallet. This means we will achieve a 68% increase in linear feet per full truckload, significantly reducing shipping costs for our customers.
