Liquid Crystal Display still dominates the market for flat panel Televisions, Monitors and Smartphones. In 2017 alone Global television sales exceeded US$105 Billion with greater than 95% of those sales tied to LCD-type TVs/Panels. Our global VPV patent portfolio covers nearly all major manufacturing categories for LCD production.
Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Structures
A special kind of field-effect transistor made by depositing thin films of an active semiconductor layer as well as the dielectric layer and metallic contacts over a supporting substrate. A common substrate is glass, because the primary application of TFTs is in liquid-crystal displays.
Backlight
A form of illumination used in liquid crystal displays (LCDs). As LCDs do not produce light by themselves, they need illumination to produce a visible image. Backlights illuminate the LCD from the side or back of the display panel.
