AbstractThe current status and next-generation technologies for liquid-crystal displays based on amorphous silicon TFTs are described. Panel size, resolution, design rule, and viewing angle are discussed from the standpoint of panel performance, productivity, and product application. The material properties for future TFT/LCDs are specified based on the discussions of design rule.

AbstractFlat-panel displays based on cold-cathode field emission are actively being developed in a number of laboratories world-wide. Once fully developed, Field Emitter Displays (FEDs) will compete directly with Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs). FEDs offer several significant advantages over LCDs including higher screen brightness, wider viewing angle, lower power consumption, and operation over a broader temperature range, making FEDs desirable for applications such as lap-top computers. Presently, several materials are being evaluated for use as coldcathode field emitters including molybdenum1, silicon2, and DLC3. At this time it is unclear which material (or materials) will ultimately be incorporated into commercial or military flatpanel display products. Each potential cathode material has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, and the ultimate choice will depend on the particular display requirements and architecture.

One material exists in most types of flat panel displays that are used in high information content applications, from liquid crystal displays to electroluminescent displays. This material is glass, something we all use daily. As a substrate, glass plays a significant role in the manufacture and function of flat panel displays (FPDs). In the case of active-matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs), the semiconductor-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) or diodes are fabricated on the active glass substrate. In addition, AMLCDs require color-filter structures consisting of dyed or pigmented resins built upon the passive plate of an AMLCD cell. For plasma and electroluminescent display panels, the glass provides the surface upon which are deposited phosphors, conductive lines, and dielectrics.The excellent properties of glass make it the substrate of choice in FPDs. It is the only material that can meet the demanding requirements of high-information-content FPD manufacturing processes and operation. Glass' transparency is an obvious requirement. For all types of displays, the rigidity of glass also plays a important role because it adds overall mechanical integrity and strength.One of the most important attributes of glass in terms of the display manufacturing process is its thermal stability. Glass substrates, particularly those made of “hard” or high temperature glasses, can be processed at elevated temperatures with minimal deformation. In addition, the dimensional precision required in the alignment of various display components is maintained throughout the specific manufacturing processes.
