Liquid Crystal Displays: Addressing Schemes and Electro-Optical Effects (Wiley Series in Display Technology)

Book Description

The special feature of the book is the in depth treatment of both the electro-optic effects and the addressing schemes of liquid crystal displays elucidating their interdependence. After basic explanations readily understandable for students and stimulating for engineers, physicists and chemists, the reader is gradually led to the latest developments such as vertically aligned and mixed mode TN-displays, compensation foils, multiple line and low power addressing, transistor driven LCOS-devices with DRAM and SRAM addressing and TFT-addressing of transmissive displays with a 92% aperture ratio.
The results are analytically derived and not merely stated to enhance insight and the capability to tailor displays to individual needs or to perform novel designs. Towards this aim the propagation of light with the help of Jones vectors, four different characterizations of the state of polarization and the operation as well as the passive and active matrix addressing of all LCDs, like nematic, polymer dispersed, guest host and bistable devices is explained. Besides the mainstream twisted and supertwisted nematic LCDs attention is drawn to bistable ferroelectric, chiral nematic and modified nematic LCDs as they are most promising for future portable low power systems.
Tables on display formats and units for the measurement of displays finally render the book suitable as a reference for experts working in the field and as a textbook for universities or display courses.
The forefront of research is reached by the treatment of plastic substrates, the replacement of vacuum processes by less expensive printing and low temperature fabrication of a-Si- and poly-Si-TFTS.

NOT! DIFFICULT TO READ, A GREAT BOOK!.......2006-06-11

I DO NOT AGREE that Dr. Leuder's book is "difficult to read. Style and composition are poor." The reviewer does not consider that English is a second language for Dr. Leuder.

I have read many of Dr. Leuder's English language papers, and I believe him to be one of the most innovative pioneers of lcds, and recently of flexible lcds. He has trained a small army of P.H.D.'s about flexible display technologies, and his papers were lauded by dozens and dozens of commercial companies at the annual SID shows.

I very carefully read this entire book, and I found it to be a good primer for the bachelor level student, and full of lots of innovative ideas for the experienced lcd practitioners.

I especially enjoyed his chapters about flexible display technologies, and reread them over and over again.

I strongly encourage you to consider this book.

Technology Fundamentals.......2002-01-15

This work is a major summary of complex technology which is readily understood by way of diagrams and references to meaningful applications. It includes the mathematical support needed for the expert and yet brings the newcomer a breadth and depth which is outstanding. These comments from a physicist working in the field who yet develops practical products.

difficult to read.......2001-09-07

The book is difficult to read. Style and composition are poor.
The author overuses formulas while lacking clear formulations.
Don't recommend it for beginers and intermediates. While if you are in advanced category you may not need this book at all. Just to give you a reference point - I earned my PhD in physiscs/math. General conclusion: waste of trees, time and money. My sorry to the author for a bad review.

Book Description

Liquid crystals are a state of matter that possess properties of both solid and liquids. Owing to its unique physical properties, liquid crystals have found important applications in optics and optoelectronics, including the expanding technology of flat panels. This book presents an engineering-oriented, practical treatment of the optics of liquid crystal displays. It covers all aspects of the technology, beginning with the simplest case of plane wave propagation in homogeneous media, and gradually building up to more advanced concepts. With few books available even on related subjects, this title certainly fills a gap in the field.

A very helpfull and readable textbook.......2000-01-28

A few fundamental principles like Maxwell's equations are used in the book to develop successful theory. Thorough examples help to apply the theory to very broad range of actual technological problems of modern optical science. It makes the book of great use to graduate students and to anyone having good mathematical background.

Book Description

Active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs) are the preferred choice when thin, low power, high quality, and lightweight flat panel displays are required. Here is the definitive guide to the theory and applications of AMLCDs.

Contemporary portable communication and computing devices need high image quality, light weight, thin, and low power flat panel displays. The answer to this need is the color active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD). The rides of AMLCD technology over less than two decades to undisputed dominance as a flat panel display has been breathtaking, and designers of portable devices need a thorough understanding of the theory and applications of AMLCDs. Willem den Boer, a holder of over 30 patents in imaging technologies, has created this guide to AMLCD theory, operating principles, addressing methods, driver circuits, application circuits, and alternate flat display technologies (including active matrix flat panel image sensors). Numerous design and applications examples illustrate key points and make them relevant to real-world engineering tasks.

· Systematically discusses the principles of liquid crystal displays and active matrix addressing.
· Describes methods of enhancing AMLCD image quality.
· Extensive coverage of AMLCD manufacturing techniques.
· Thorough examination of performance characteristics and specifications of AMLCDs.

Good introductory text.......2007-10-05

"Fundamentals" is right in the title. Covers AMLCD physics, technology and manufacturing in a very straightforward and easy to read text. It is useful if you are curious about how AMLCD's work, but does not have enough depth for serious study.

A great reference book written by practical minded scientists.......2006-02-06

I have had the pleasure of talking with both authors on the phone, and have learned that both authors have considerable practical experience, and sound theoretical knowledge.

This book emphasizes reflective displays. As electronics become more portable, and more innocuous, the need for reflective displays will grow.

Wu and Yang present a comprehensive description of all the major display types, and offer some real gems about promising display innovatives. My favorite is Yang's discussion of double guest host lcd's, and the possibility of using ultrathin polyester films (normally used as capacitor films) as the internal film for the ghlcd. Although this idea had been covered in SID Conference Proceedings, it takes an innovative writer like Yang to highlight the commercial potential of ultrathin polyester films.

Likewise Wu has considerable hands on experience with military avionics, and writes with a confidence of someone who understands lcds intimately.

I strongly recommend your considering this book if you are investigating recent innovations in reflective displays.

A great reference!.......2004-11-11

Both authors are very knowledgable, and I have been a fan of their technical papers for years. The book is well outlined and illustrated. I found that it covers current state of the art very well. It covers the basic LC architectures and presents interesting alternatives. My favorite aspect is the excellent and complete technical reference listings.

Book Description

This tutorial, based on a short course presented at the SPIE Medical Imaging Symposium, explains performance and quality considerations in medical imaging displays. After defining performance requirements for high-fidelity displays, the book introduces the display technologies (CRT, AMLCD) that are or likely will be used in medical imaging workstations, including an emerging technology (OLED) that may enable the design of portable display devices. The book concludes with methods to assess image quality. Although not a collection of step-by-step procedures, this book can be used in a clinical environment by those with access to the appropriate instrumentation.
