Abstract

The first major progress towards complex LCD's has been made using arrays of thin film transistors (TFT's) fabricated using amorphous silicon (a - Si) technology. However, apart from other two and three terminal devices, there are also two new LCD technologies which directly improve the performance of the LCD without the need for extra switching elements. These are the supertwist (or STN) LCD and displays based on ferroelectric liquid crystals (FELC). These two alternative technologies are described and teir performance compared with that of displays fabricated using α - Si TFT's.
