Abstract— Progress in the development of blue light‐emitting diodes and yellow phosphor has led to the realization of solid‐state lighting. The development was followed by improvement in the luminous efficacy of ultraviolet light‐emitting diodes (UV‐LEDs). By using near‐UV‐LEDs (n‐UV‐LEDs) excited light for red, green, and blue (RGB) phosphors, a new type of solid‐state lighting was realized. An innovative method for increasing the efficiency of LEDs by using a silicon nitride layer as the active layer and piling them up to a nano‐sized level with nano‐sized holes has been developed.  相似文献

Abstract— A touch‐screen‐panel (TSP) embedded 12.1‐in. LCD employing a standard existing a‐Si:H TFT‐LCD process has been successfully developed. Compared with conventional external touch‐screen panels, which use additional components to detect touch events, the new internal TSP exhibits a clearer image and improved touch feeling, as well as increased sensing speed using discrete sensing lines to enable higher‐speed sensing functions including handwriting. The new internal digital switching TSP can be fabricated with low cost because it does not require any additional process steps compared to a standard a‐Si:H TFT‐LCD.  相似文献

Abstract— An LTPS TFT‐LCD with an in‐cell capacitive‐type touch sensor has been proposed and prototyped. The embedded sensor in the pixel was designed to amplify the voltage change caused by capacitive coupling between the detection electrode and conductive object (user's finger). No touch force is needed for sensor actuation and no extra electrical connection for the counter‐substrate is needed. The validity of the observed voltage difference of the sensor output on the TFT substrate was examined. The proposed architecture is considered to be applicable to larger LCDs for various applications such as smartphones, automotive navigation systems, and mobile internet devices.  相似文献

Abstract— Liquid‐crystal displays (LCDs) have become increasingly popular due to their lower price and larger sizes. In particular, backlights having an RGB LED source have recently attracted attention, because they have a wider color gamut, higher luminance, and lower power consumption. However, even when the backlight area is uniformly covered with light modules based on arrays of individual LEDs, this does not ensure a uniform chromaticity and luminance over the backlight panel, thereby stressing the need for lighting simulation of the backlight. Accordingly, this paper proposes an effective lighting simulator to predict the chromaticity and luminance distribution of an LED backlight panel for an LCD. First, the spectrum‐based photons are all initially generated using a random function with a constraint satisfying the spectral power distribution of the actual LED light sources, while their emitting directions are determined based on a pre‐calculated probability using a random variable angle. The optical characteristics of the inner sheets in the LCD backlight structure are then modeled using the wavelength and incident angle to predict the next direction of each photon based on the reflection and transmittance at an intersection. All the photons that reach the unit area of the outward panel are gathered to shape their spectral power distribution, then converted to CIEXYZ values and multiplied with a color‐matching function. Finally, a realistic image visualization of these CIEXYZ values is achieved through standardized device characterization using the sRGB mode. Experiments confirm that the proposed spectrum‐based photon mapping can effectively predict the chromaticity and luminance distribution of an LED backlight panel, providing a good lighting simulation of an LED backlight before manufacturing the LCD.  相似文献

Abstract— A high‐performance high‐efficiency LED‐backlight driving system for liquid‐crystal‐display panels is presented. The proposed LED‐backlight driving system is composed of a high‐efficiency DC‐DC converter capable of operating over a universal AC input voltage (75–265 V) and a high‐performance LED‐backlight sector‐dimming controller. The high efficiency of the system is achieved by using an asymmetrical half‐bridge DC‐DC converter that utilizes a new voltage‐driven synchronous rectifier and an LED‐backlight sector‐dimming controller. This controller regulates current using lossless power semiconductor switches (MOSFETs). The power semiconductor switches of the proposed DC‐DC converter, including the synchronous rectifier switch, operate with zero voltage, achieving high efficiency and low switch voltage stress using the asymmetrical‐PWM and synchronous rectifier techniques. To achieve high performance, the proposed driving system performs the sector dimming and the current regulation using low‐cost microcontrollers and MOSFET switching, resulting in high contrast and brightness. A100‐W laboratory prototype was built and tested. The experimental results verify the feasibility of the proposed system.  相似文献

SrGa2S4:Eu and CaS:Eu phosphors are useful to provide a wider color gamut to LCDs since their emissions are narrower, but they easily react with moisture. The phosphor sheet containing them was developed. The moisture barrier layers on it can separate them from a humid atmosphere. The LCD with the phosphor sheet could realize the wider color gamut of 90% NTSC‐xy, while the color gamut of the original LCD with the white LEDs containing YAG:Ce phosphor was 71% NTSC‐xy. The improvement of the brightness of the LCD with the phosphor sheet was studied. Encapsulates with a greater curvature on blue LEDs used with the phosphor sheet can increase the brightness. The brightness of the LCD with the phosphor sheet and blue LEDs with the spherical encapsulates of which the curvature = about 0.7 was estimated to reach to 85% of that of the original LCD. The simpler phosphor sheet with the aluminum film edge seals was also developed. It was confirmed that it has sufficient reliability during storage and operation at high temperature and high humidity and there is no difference in its reliability between the edge area and the center area. The importance of the moisture barrier layers which protect the SrGa2S4:Eu and CaS:Eu phosphors was confirmed. The phosphor sheet with the moisture barrier layers had better reliability than that with the PET layers.  相似文献

Abstract— A backlight system using a newly developed multi‐layered lightguide (MLL) is described. The MLL can function as a backlight without additional optical sheets such as prism sheets or diffusers. It was developed as a multi‐layered sheet featuring different refractive indexes for different layers. A prototype was built, and the principles were confirmed by comparison with theory. With a thickness of 0.414 mm, the prototype is the thinnest backlight in the world, using only a MLL and a reflector.  相似文献

Abstract— This work combines a very simple resolution rescaling method, a well‐known RGB‐to‐YUV converting technique and a detection strategy into an optimized switchable mechanism in order to eliminate the problems of obvious zigzag profiles caused by the special layouts of transflective tRGB‐t/rW TFT‐LCDs and the poor reflective gray‐level contrast ratio effected by the minimum white data in the transmissive RGB‐W + subpixel rendering algorithms. Finally, a transflective tRGB‐t/rW TFT‐LCD is revealed not only to have no visible zigzag profiles and high visibility of reflective gray‐level contrast ratio, but also to have extreme reflectance and transmittance. The excellent optical performance of the proposed system makes it particularly suitable for single‐panel applications that need both high‐transmissive main displays and high‐reflective subdisplays.  相似文献

This paper discusses an In‐cell capacitive touch sensor and its integration in an LTPS TFT‐LCD with 7‐inch screen size and WSVGA resolution. The operation of the newly developed sensor is based on capacitive coupling between user's finger and the detection electrode on the TFT substrate, and is purely capacitive. The sensors and the sensor driver circuits have been integrated in the TFT substrate of the prototype TFT‐LCD using LTPS technology. The prototype having 256x150 sensors shows advantages such as smooth operation with no touch force, high position accuracy, multi‐touch (10 or more), a thin and light LCD module, high display quality, and thus is suitable for various applications such as cell‐phones, smart‐phones, mobile‐PCs, and automotive‐use displays.  相似文献

Abstract— Novel process architectures are proposed for fabricating large‐area high‐resolution TFT‐LCDs with a minimal number of process steps. A low contact resistance between Al bus lines and the transparent conductive oxide layer, necessary for large‐area panels, is obtained by inducing a self‐formed inter‐metallic compound layer at the interface without using any additional buffer or capping layers. For enhanced brightness and resolution, a new TFT array structure integrated on a color‐filter substrate, referred to as an Array on Color Filter (AOC) structure, has been developed. Good‐quality TFTs were successfully constructed on the newly developed color filter for AOC within a sufficiently wide process margin. By adopting these novel technologies, a 15.0‐in. XGA prototype panel was fabricated and shows good display performance. Thus, these novel technologies have improved cost efficiency and productivity for TFT‐LCD manufacturing, and can be applied to the development of TFT‐LCDs of extended display area and enhanced resolution, benefiting from the low resistance bus lines, the high aperture ratio, and reduction in total process steps.  相似文献

The color gamut is one of the critical parameters that dictate the image quality of displays. The liquid crystal displays using white color light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) as the backlight, though having been widely employed recently, are not very satisfactory in terms of their color gamut because of the broad spectrum inherent to white LEDs. This prompted the authors to develop improved liquid crystal displays using an edge‐lit wide color gamut backlight that used red laser diodes and cyan LEDs. Generating laser beams with high color purity, the laser diodes are light sources with a significant effect on expanding the color gamut. However, laser diodes, red ones in particular, have unfavorable thermal characteristics. To cope with this shortcoming, the authors clearly defined the restrictive criteria for laying out two kinds of light source on the edge‐lit backlight and made a prototype 55‐type laser backlight for performance evaluation.  相似文献

A new gate driver has been designed and fabricated by amorphous silicon technology. With utilizing the concept of sharing the noise free block in a single stage for gate driver, dual‐outputs signals could be generated in sequence. By increasing the number of output circuit block in proposed gate driver, number of outputs per stage could also be adding that improves the efficiency for area reduction. Besides, using single driving thin‐film‐transistor (TFT) for charging and discharging, the area of circuit is also decreased by diminishing the size of pulling down TFT. Moreover, the proposed gate driver has been successfully demonstrated in a 5.5‐inch Full HD (1080xRGBx1920) TFT‐liquid‐crystal display panel and passed reliability tests of the supporting foundry.  相似文献

Abstract— We have developed a 470 × 235‐ppi poly‐Si TFT‐LCD with a novel pixel arrangement, called HDDP (horizontally double‐density pixels), for high‐resolution 2‐D and 3‐D autostereoscopic displays. 3‐D image quality is especially high in a lenticular‐lens‐equipped 3‐D mode because both the horizontal and vertical resolutions are high, and because these resolutions are equal. 3‐D and 2‐D images can be displayed simultaneously in the same picture. In addition, 3‐D images can be displayed anywhere and 2‐D characters can be made to appear at different depths with perfect legibility. No switching of 2‐D/3‐D modes is necessary, and the design's thin and uncomplicated structure makes it especially suitable for mobile terminals.  相似文献

Abstract— A 10‐bit gray‐scale source driver using a resistor‐resistor‐string digital‐to‐analog converter (RR‐DAC) is proposed for a TFT‐LCD source driver. The 10‐bit RR‐DAC consists of an 8‐bit resistor‐string DAC and a two‐bit resistor‐string DAC without an intermediate unity‐gain buffer to isolate the parallel‐connected resistor string. The output deviation of the proposed source driver is less than ±3 mV. The chip area of the proposed 10‐bit source driver with an RR‐DAC is increased to 29% of that of an 8‐bit source driver.  相似文献

Abstract— Backlights are indispensable for the operation of LCDs. Light sources or lamps are the core components of backlights. There are many types of light sources for backlights such as cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs), external electrode fluorescent lamps (EEFLs), hot‐cathode fluorescent lamps (HCFLs), flat fluorescent lamps (FFLs), and light‐emitting diodes (LEDs). Recently, FFLs are becoming one the most interesting light sources for LCD‐TV backlights. Channel profiles and the structure of FFLs in more detail are discussed in this paper. The channel profile of FFLs with maximum brightness uniformity was designed, fabricated, and characterized. The FFL backlight demonstrated 10,500 nits and the total power consumption was 110 W at room temperature.  相似文献

We have developed a new conceptual liquid crystal display (LCD) with a memory circuit and a photosensor in each pixel to realize excellent handwriting performance. Direct writing and erasing a character in the LCD are available because their direct processing only in the pixel are performed without calculating coordinates by using a light pen and integrated pixel circuits. In addition, this LCD enables to display still image data stored in the pixel memory circuit at a low liquid crystal (LC) driving frequency of 1.0 Hz. In the result, we have achieved faster handwriting response time of 0.5 ms and lower power consumption of 0.7 mW in 7.0‐in. QVGA reflective LCD panel.  相似文献

This paper proposes a wide gamut LCD using locally dimmable four‐primary‐color (4PC) LED backlight. Although the color gamut of LCDs has been improved in recent years, it is insufficient to reproduce all the colors in the real world. The objective of this paper is to propose a wide gamut LCD that reproduces all the colors in the real world while keeping the cost increases to a minimum. We evaluated the color gamut reproduced by LEDs of multiple primary colors and selected cyan as the optimal color to be added to the three primary colors to reproduce all the colors in the real world. Therefore, we designed an LED backlight consisting of an additional only‐cyan LED with three‐primary‐color LEDs and developed a prototype LCD with 4PC LED backlight. Furthermore, we developed a local dimming algorithm for the 4PC LED backlight. As a result, we confirmed that the prototype LCD with the 4PC LED backlight is able to cover almost all the colors in the real world and also able to display natural images with highly saturated colors by local dimming.  相似文献

Abstract— In order to achieve higher‐performance and lower‐cost a‐Si TFT array manufacturing, an advanced four‐mask fabrication process using low‐resistant metals, a new pixel electrode material, and improved unit processes was developed. Slit (or gray‐tone) photolithography, in combination with a continuous all‐in‐one dry‐etching process, solved the chronic problems of the current four‐mask process. Additionally, a new combination of materials and a new wet etchant for the gate‐line patterning made it possible to achieve stabilized wet‐etching results and reduced the number of process steps. Our advanced a‐Si TFT‐array fabrication process is applicable to both notebook and monitor displays, and will further improve the market position of TFT‐LCDs by improved performance and manufacturing process simplification.  相似文献

Abstract— We have developed the world's largest TFT‐LCD, which has a 55‐in.‐diagonal size. This LCD features a 1920 × 1080 (16:9) resolution for full‐HDTV images, 500‐nit luminance, 72% color gamut, and 12‐msec response time at all gray levels. The size of the panel (55 in.) was determined by the maximum efficiency of our fifth‐generation line (glass size: 1100 × 1250 mm). To overcome the limitation of size in photolithography equipment, a new stitcking‐free technology was applied in both the TFT and color‐filter side. And the super‐IPS mode was used as a wide‐viewing‐angle technology because it is suitable in the fabrication of large panels. In this paper, we present issues on both the fabrication and characteristics of the 55‐in. TFT‐LCD.  相似文献

Abstract— In this study we applied both numerical simulation and experimental validation to characterize the thermal deformation of the panel and the direct‐lit backlight unit (BLU) of a thin‐film‐transistor liquid‐crystal‐display television (TFT‐LCD TV). Heat emitted from cold‐cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) causes thermal deformation of the LCD and extrudes the panel from the metal front shield at both upper corners: this finally leads to color distortion. In the numerical simulation based on thermal‐fluidic fields of the TFT‐LCD TV, natural convection of air that surrounded the CCFLs resulted in a high temperature at the upper‐right and upper‐left corners of the LCD panel. Numerical results were verified by temperature measurements with good consistency. Additionally, this study has established a measurement system to characterize the temperature distribution on both the BLU and panel and the thermal deformation of the panel causing the color distortion.  相似文献
