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.

  • Page 92: Differences Between Lcd And Crt Technology

    CRT. A third difference is the lack of flicker on the Presenter’s flat panel. CRTs flicker because the electron beam can only be in one place at a time. Thus each pixel on a CRT is being driven only about a millionth of the time.

  • Page 93: Quality

    Quality The resolution of the Indy Presenter is 1024 x 768 pixels. Therefore there are 1024 x RGB x 768, or 2,259,296, 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.
