Liquid Crystal Displays: Addressing Schemes and Electro-Optic Effects

Ernst Lueder, University of Stuttgart
Hardcover, 368 pages, published June 2001

Use of Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) is booming with current applications including calculators, laptop computers, pagers, mobile phones and personal organizers. Demand for thinner and more sophisticated displays has prompted research into enhanced LCDs with improved viewing angles. A valuable introduction to the field, the broad scope of the book includes direct view displays, methods of both saving energy and enhancing the performance of displays.

• Presents the latest results in the LCD field with new applications from miniature headset displays to digital cinema
• Highlights methods for designing improved Thin Film Transistors (TFTs) and Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) devices
• Focuses on the practicalities of liquid crystal behavior and device construction, explaining how to save energy and enhance display performance
• Written by a highly regarded expert in the display community who currently heads an internationally renowned research laboratory working on flat panel displays

This text would prove to be a valuable reference resource for anyone involved in the field, such as practicing electrical engineers, physicists, chemists and specialists in the display field, manufacturers and researchers of LCD technology and graduate electronics students studying the field.
