SummaryV
I - Introduction
• Be formed by the liquid crystals
• Production for the first time since 1970s
• Using for computers, TVs, gaming devices…
• Used to show images, moving pictures…

Why LCD ?
4
Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT)
LCD monitor
Using electron beam to excite the phosphorous
3 types of phosphorus: emit light 3 color R G B
All of pixel create image
Using liquid crystal and voltage to control light
Using color filter to create all of colors
Why LCD ?
• Smaller size
• Lower power consumption
• Lighter weight
• No electromagnetic fields
• Longer life
5
Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT)
LCD monitor
So, Why do people use LCD
Lyquid crystals
• Exists between 2 state:liquid and solid crystal
• Can change the polarization of light
• Molecules linked to groups
• Using Nematic phase in LCD
6
Liquid crystal phases
Via: Internet
Pixel
7
Structure of pixel
• Holding crystal by Glass plates
• Using 2 polarizing filters
• 3 sub-pixels use 1 electrode plate
• Inclued 3 sub-pixels: R, G, B
Via: Internet
II - Classification
8
Passive matrix LCD ( DSTN LCD ) Active matrix LCD ( TFT LCD )
Via: Internet
Passive matrix LCD
9
• Using a simple grid to control pixels
• Slow response time
• Imprecise voltage control
• Used in low-resolution displays
Passive matrix
Via: Internet
Active matrix LCD
10
Active matrix
• Depends on thin film transistors (TFT)
• Fast response time
• Good image quality
• 1 dot is controlled by 1 trans
Via: Internet
Advantage of Active Matrix Display
• Higher size
• Higher contrast
• Higher time response. Eliminate ghosting
• Higher Resolution
• Better control of color

Structure of LCD
12
Consist of 2 parts:
Part 1:
- Backlight:provide light to LC panel
Part 2:
- LC panel: Display
Backlight and LC panel
Via: Internet
IV - Operating principle
13
LCD panel
• Voltage off:
The light can pass through
• Voltage on:
Depend on Vliquid-crystal
Via: Internet
14
IV- Operating principle
Active addressing of 3×3 matrix Equivalent circuit of a subpixel
