• SXRD Technology
o Is a reflective device – light is directed into the panel
from the front, the light passes through the liquid crystal
material, and is then reflected back out through the same
liquid crystal material by tan aluminized substrate. The
light passes through the liquid crystal twice. The liquid
crystals modulate the light with the picture information on
the way back out of the panel.
o The liquid crystals when layered maintain the same angular
orientation between layers.
when no potential is applied to the liquid crystals.
o Panel depth is greatly decreased due to the LCD drivers
and the liquid crystal materials are jointly sealed directly to
the silicon chip substrate
o The distance between pixels is greatly diminished (no
screen-door effect) due to the fact that all the matrix wiring
and switching elements a placed behind the reflective
substrate.
