Page 53: About Liquid Crystal Display (Lcd) Technology
About Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Technology Display The key component in the Presenter 1280 is the active-matrix display module. It is composed of twisted nematic liquid crystal material, sandwiched between two sheets of glass, activated by electronic switches deposited on the inner surface of the glass. The electronic switches vary the voltage applied to the liquid crystal and thus change its transparency. -
Page 54: Differences Between Lcd And Crt Technology
CRT. A third difference is the lack of flicker on the Presenter 1280’s flat panel. CRTs flicker because the electron beam can be in only one place at a time. Thus each pixel on a CRT is being driven only about a millionth of the time. -
Page 55: Quality
Quality The resolution of the Presenter 1280 monitor is 1280 x 1024 pixels. Therefore there are 1280 x RGB x 1024, or 3,932,160 sub-pixels in your display—all in an area equivalent to 2.5 times that of a 6-inch silicon wafer. Current technology is not capable of producing a 100% defect-free active matrix display at reasonable costs, although yields are improving steadily. - Page 56 Appendix A: About Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Technology...
