¡@ It uses liquid crystal to control the passage of light. The basic
structure of a TFT-LCD panel may be thought of as two glass substrates
sandwiching a layer of liquid crystal. The front glass substrate
is fitted with a color filter, while the back glass substrate has
transistors fabricated on it. When voltage is applied to a transistor,
the liquid crystal is bent, allowing light to pass through to form
a pixel. A light source is located at the back of the panel and
is called a backlight unit. The front glass substrate is fitted
with a color filter, which gives each pixel its own color. The combination
of these pixels in different
colors forms the image on the panel.
¡@A
TFT substrate is composed of a matrix of pixels and ITO region (
a transparent electric conducting film)each with a TFT device and
is so called array. Thousands or millions of these pixels together
create an image on the display. The diagram below shows the simple
structure of a pixel.No matter how the design of the TFT panel changes
or the process modified, it's structure have to contain TFT devices
and LC control region ( ITO film for transmissive type of LCD, metal
such as AI is used for reflective type of LCD).
TFT device is a switching device, which functions to turn each individual
pixel on or off hence controlling the number of electrons flow into
the ITO zone. As the number of electrons reaches the expected value,
TFT turns off and these electrons can be kept within the ITO zone.
