 TFT LCD screens are targeting several major applications, from TV sets and computers to car navigation and entertainment systems. |
 The LCD is injected between two glass plates - the substrate at the bottom and a colour filter at the top. |
 LCD processing is similar to that of semiconductors, with deposition followed by photolithography and etching. |
 Thin-film transistors control the direction of polarization of liquid crystals. |
 TFT-LCD screens are flat, lightweight, and consume less power than CRTs. |
 Panels made in Korea are assembled into complete modules in Nanjing, China. |
 Sharp's Kameyama Mie Plant No. 3, which produces LCD panels through to the TVs that incorporate them. |
 Consumer applications dominate LCD sales, but there are also important commercial uses. |
 LCD monitors can, for example, be integrated with TV tuners to reduce component counts. |
 Sharp is replacing all its conventional CRT TV sets with LCD-based models. |
 Latest LCD screens can incorporate 10-bit gamma correction. |
 Major LCD applications include TVs, digital still cameras, mobile phones, PDAs and (shown here) mobile notebook PCs. |
 Tohoku Technoarch deals with commercial aspects like technology transfer, patenting and intellectual assets for the university. |
 NICHe's operations are financed from public grants and endorsements. |
 Tohoku University is the site for a Japanese national project to develop advanced low-power flat panel displays. |
 NICHe helps Tohoku University to develop new technologies and industries. |
 The project was located at Sendai City because of the easy collaboration with Tohoku University, and easy accessibility to neighboring high-tech industries. |
