Toshiba develops reflective low-temperature polysilicon LCD technology

Article Abstract:

Toshiba Corp. of Tokyo, Japan, has come up with a developmental variant of a reflective low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD). The use of reflective and low-temperature polysilicon reportedly offers benefits such as greater mechanical reliability and lower power consumption. Toshiba claims that the reflective TFT LCD is one-third the thickness and has only 50% of the weight of conventional amorphous-silicon backlit LCDs. Toshiba is looking to start producing an 8.4-inch variant of the display in the first quarter of 1999.

British develop photoluminescent liquid crystal display

Article Abstract:

Screen Technology Ltd. of Cambridge, UK, is licensing a photoluminescent display technology that produces a light-emitting display image with the contrast, brightness and color essentially the same from all viewing angles to manufacturers of displays. The photoluminescent liquid crystal display eliminates the viewing angle dependency that is the main disadvantage of the conventional liquid crystal systems. The technology was developed by a group in the Department of Engineering of the University of Cambridge.

British develop blue LEP display

Article Abstract:

Cambridge Display Technology Ltd (CDT) of Cambridge, UK, has developed a blue light emitting polymer (LEP) that is claimed to possess properties within the color ranges of othe display technologies. CDT features green, blue and red plastic displays, all utilizing polymers with similar chemical structures. The synthesis of the polymer for blue displays is more complicated compared with that of the other colors.
