Invisible Threat or Indispensable Key Component? In Brief ⏱ Estimated Reading Time: 4 Minutes The discussion surrounding PFAS – per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances – has gained significant momentum in recent years. What was long considered specialized knowledge for chemists is now…
Technology, Properties, and Applications In Brief ⏱ Estimated Reading Time: 3 Minutes PDLC stands for "Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal" and describes an electrochromic technology based on a dispersion of liquid crystals within a polymer. This technology enables the production of materials that…
In the second part of our overview, we introduce additional prominent TFT panel manufacturers specializing in small to medium screen diagonals. The focus is on AUO, Innolux, Tianma, Mantix, and Laibao. These manufacturers are capable of addressing demands from the industrial,…
TFT displays are the core of modern screens, ranging from industrial control units and medical monitors to consumer electronics such as tablets and touchscreens. Their operation is based on Thin-Film Transistors (TFTs), which precisely control each individual LCD cell, thereby ensuring brilliant…
E Ink has introduced Spectra 6, a new generation of full-color E-Paper displays specifically developed for applications in advertising, PoS systems, digital signage solutions, and information displays. Unlike conventional LCD or OLED panels, E-Ink displays operate reflectively. This implies:…
TFT displays are no longer merely visible components on control panels or within monitor enclosures. In modern applications, they are increasingly integrated invisibly, concealed behind mirror glass, printed plastic panels, or translucent decorative surfaces. This technology offers not only aesthetic appeal but also functional…
Curved TFT displays not only offer a futuristic design but also enable improved ergonomics and a more immersive visual experience – especially in large-format display systems such as monitors, automotive displays, or specialized industrial applications. However, behind the elegant curvature…
Modern displays offer impressive image quality, which depends not only on resolution or color depth but also crucially on the type of backlight. A technology that particularly stands out in this context is Local Backlight Dimming, which in German is: “lokales…
Quantum Dot (QD) backlights represent a significant advancement in the backlight technology of modern LCD displays. In TFT displays, they provide enhanced brightness, an expanded color volume, and outstanding image quality. What are Quantum Dots? Quantum Dots (QDs) are nanoscale semiconductor crystals that, through...
In 2022, Mitsubishi Electric decided to completely cease its business with small and medium-sized industrial TFT-LCDs. Reasons cited included a declining market and increasing price pressure, particularly from Asian competitors. Consequently, many proven displays were discontinued – some without direct alternatives. LCD Microelectronics...
