Abstract
Rugged, light, high‐resolution flat panel displays are now being developed using liquid‐crystal (LC) technology with the aim of replacing cathode ray tubes in for example computer monitors and televisions. The basic concepts of the displays are described, the advantages and drawbacks of the most important technologies are compared, and some recent work on ferroelectric LC displays which promise high contrast and brightness (see figure) is reviewed. magnified imageKeywords
