Transflective Liquid Crystal Displays / Wiley Series in Display Technology (PDF)

Sunlight readable transflective liquid crystal displays, used on
devices from cell phones and portable media players, to GPS and
even some desktop monitors, have become indispensable in our
day-to-day lives.

Transflective Liquid Crystal Displays is a methodical
examination of this display technology, providing a useful
reference to the fundamentals of the topic. Including
thorough descriptions of the essential physics of transflective LCD
technologies, the book also compares transflective LCD technology
with alternatives, such as OLED displays, to enable display
engineers to appropriately select the correct device for their
particular application.

* Includes detailed descriptions of both pure transmissive and
reflective LCDs, and the design considerations and performance of
combining these into small mobile displays.

* Focuses on fundamental elements, such as double cell gap
transflective LCDs, wide-viewing angle technology, light
polarization and wide-view linear and circular polarizers, video
rate display by colour sequential technologies, colour sciences and
engineering, and backlights.

* Describes the latest LCD technologies, such as
polymer-sustained surface alignment technology, and the possible
trends which could be applied to transflective LCDs in the
future.

Its focus on the fundamentals of transflective liquid crystal
displays makes this an ideal graduate text, while display
engineers, scientists, developers and technicians working with this
technology will also welcome this resource.

The Society for Information Display (SID) is an international
society, which has the aim of encouraging the development of all
aspects of the field of information display. Complementary to the
aims of the society, the Wiley-SID series is intended to explain
the latest developments in information display technology at a
professional level. The broad scope of the series addresses all
facets of information displays from technical aspects through
systems and prototypes to standards and ergonomics
