(Yole Développement, August 2021) APPLE VS. SAMSUNG: EARLY SUPPLY CHAIN MOVES INDICATE DIFFERENT PATHS TO REDUCE COST Strong momentum does not guarantee success: The cost of LCD decreased by a factor of 300, many technical and supply chain challenges could from $30k/m2 to $100/m2 in 25 years. However, still derail microLED. Many solutions look great LCD started from a blank canvas.

PRODUCT ROADMAPS ARE COMING INTO FOCUS, AND THE SUPPLY CHAIN IS SHAPING UP Many companies have some pieces of the microLED restrictions that would prevent fully national supply puzzle, but none has all of them.

Once reserved for televisions and computers, and composed of large cathode-ray tubes New Display Technologies (CRTs), displays have become ubiquitous and have taken many different forms. Flat-panel displays are overtaking the CRT and are being used in larger quantities for Steve Statham portable computers, a variety of handheld devices, desktop computers and televisions, as well as tiny microdisplays, which are being used in projection televisions, for near-eye applications, where a virtual screen is presented to the viewer.

  • Various Display Technologiess
    VARIOUS DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIESS Mr. Virat C. Gandhi1 1Computer Department, C. U. Shah Technical Institute of Diploma Studies Abstract—A lot has been invented from the past till now in regards with the display technologies. It gives an immense life to electronic device when good display technology are being used. Now a days displays are coming in various sizes for different portable devices like smart phones, tablets, smart watch, televisions, laptops etc. People are expecting better display no matter what device they use. In this paper I have given an overview of some of the past technologies to the technologies till now. Flat-panel displays use Liquid-crystal display (LCD) technology to make them much lighter and thinner when compared with a traditional monitor. A liquid crystal display consists of an array of tiny segments (called pixels) that can be manipulated to present information. Plasma panels, also called gas discharge displays, are constructed by filling the region between two glass plates with a mixture of gases that usually include neon. In LED, A matrix of diodes is arranged to form the pixel positions in the display, and picture definition is stored in refresh buffer. OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology relies on the organic materials. Keywords— Display Technology; LCD; LED; Flexible display; Curved display; I. INTRODUCTION In today’s smart world, people are carrying smart devices all over the places they visit. Wherever people are they are surrounded or accompanied by display devices, such as smart phones, tablets, notebooks and advertising screens. Different devices uses different display technologies to enrich devices facilities.

  • Light-Emitting Diode - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A light-emitting diode (LED) (pronounced /ˌɛl iː ˈdiː/[1]) is a semiconductor Light-emitting diode light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices, and are increasingly used for lighting. Introduced as a practical electronic component in 1962,[2] early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness. When a light-emitting diode is forward biased (switched on), electrons are able to recombine with holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy gap of Red, green and blue LEDs of the 5mm type 2 the semiconductor. An LED is usually small in area (less than 1 mm ), and Type Passive, optoelectronic integrated optical components are used to shape its radiation pattern and assist in reflection.[3] LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources Working principle Electroluminescence including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, Invented Nick Holonyak Jr. (1962) smaller size, faster switching, and greater durability and reliability. LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more Electronic symbol precise current and heat management than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output. Pin configuration Anode and Cathode Light-emitting diodes are used in applications as diverse as replacements for aviation lighting, automotive lighting (particularly indicators) and in traffic signals.

Luminescence occurs from a solid when it is supplied with some form of energy. Photoluminescence arises as a result of absorption of photons. In the case of cathodoluminescence material is excited by bombardment with a beam of electrons. Electroluminescence is a result of excitation from the application of an electric field. Fluorescence persists for a short lifetime of the transition between the two energy levels. Phosphorescence persists for much longer time (more than 10-8 s).

  • Technology Brief 6: Display Technologies
    106 TECHNOLOGY BRIEF 6: DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES Technology Brief 6: Display Technologies From cuneiform-marked clay balls to the abacus to today’s digital projection technology, advances in visual displays have accompanied almost every major leap in information technology. While the earliest “modern” computers relied on cathode ray tubes (CRT) to project interactive images, today’s computers can access a wide variety of displays ranging from plasma screens and LED arrays to digital micromirror projectors, electronic ink, and virtual reality interfaces. In this Technology Brief, we will review the major technologies currently available for two-dimensional visual displays. Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) The earliest computers relied on the same technology that made the television possible. In a CRT television or monitor (Fig. TF6-1), an electron gun is placed behind a positively charged glass screen, and a negatively charged electrode (the cathode) is mounted at the input of the electron gun. During operation, the cathode emits streams of electrons into the electron gun. The emitted electron stream is steered onto different parts of the positively charged screen by the electron gun; the direction of the electron stream is controlled by the electric field of the deflecting coils through which the beam passes. The screen is composed of thousands of tiny dots of phosphorescent material arranged in a two-dimensional array. Every time an electron hits a phosphor dot, it glows a specific color (red, blue, or green). A pixel on the screen is composed of phosphors of these three colors. In order to make an image appear to move on the screen, the electron gun constantly steers the electron stream onto different phosphors, lighting them up faster than the eye can detect the changes, and thus, the images appear to move.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Technology LCD Made Possible • There's far more to building an LCD than simply creating a sheet of liquid crystals. • The combination of four principles makes LCDs possible: • Light can be polarized. • Liquid crystal can transmit polarized light or change the plane of polarization. • The structure of liquid crystals can be changed by electric field. • There are transparent substances that can conduct electricity. Polarization of Light • Light is made up of electromagnetic waves, that can be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed by materials. • These waves will naturally have an axis, or a plane that they follow as they move through space. • When light is said to be polarized, all of the waves of light are following the same axis and orientation of the plane. • A polarizing filter is designed to block out light of certain planes, while allowing specific orientations through the filter.
