Abstract
The introduction of flat panel displays that are fabricated with thin-film-transistor
liquid-crystal displays (TFT LCDs) has changed human's lifestyle very significantly.
Traditionally, the revolution of the TFT LCD technology has been presented
by the timeline of product introduction. Namely, it first started with audio/video
(AV) and notebook applications in the early 1990s, and then began to replace
cathode-ray tubes (CRTs) for monitor and TV applications. Certainly, TFT LCDs
will continue to expand in all areas of our daily life in the future. Here
a new concept of the revolution of the TFT LCD technology is presented for
the major TFT LCD makers. In this new concept, there are four waves of technology
revolution with the following themes, respectively: 1) product introduction;
2) performance enrichment; 3) power and material utilization; and 4) functions
for human interface. The role of the LCD-TV in the revolution is also discussed.
