FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

A:On each column and row of the TFT LCD panel a data source drive and a gate drive and attached, respectively. The TFT drain of each cell is connected to the electrode. The molecular arrangement of liquid crystal elements differs acceding to whether it is impressed with voltage or not. It varies the direction of polarized light and the amount of light by letting it through different arrays of liquid crystal elements. When two polarized filters are arranged vertically on a polarized light pole, the light that passes through the upper polarized panel is turned 90 degrees along with the spiral structure of the liquid crystal molecules and goes through the polarized filter at the bottom. When impressed with voltage, liquid crystal molecules are arranged vertically from the original spiral structure and the direction of the light is not turned through 90 degrees. In this case, light that comes through the top polarized panel may not go through the polarized panel at the bottom.

Q:What are the advantages of TFT LCD compared with CRT?

A:In a CRT monitor, a gun shoots electrons and general light by colliding polarized electrons on fluorescent glass. Therefore, CRT monitors basically operate with an analog RGB signal. A TFT LCD monitor is a device that displays an input image by operating a liquid crystal panel. The TFT has a fundamentally different structure than a CRT: Each cell has an active matrix structure and independent active elements. A TFT LCD has two glass panels and the space between them is filled in with liquid crystal. When each cell is connected with electrodes and impressed with voltage, the molecular structure of the liquid crystal is altered and controls the amount of inlet lighting to display images. A TFT LCD has several advantages over a CRT, since it can be very thin and no flickering occurs because it does not use the scanning method.

Q:Why is a vertical frequency of 60Hz optimal for an LCD monitor?

A:Unlike a CDT monitor, the TFT LCD panel has a fixed resolution. For example, an XGA monitor has 1024x3 (R, G, B) x 768 pixels and a higher resolution may not be available without additional software processing. The panel is designed to optimise the display for a 65MHz dot clock, one of the standards for XGA displays. Since the vertical/horizontal frequency for this dot clock is 60Hz/48kHz, the optimum frequency for this monitor is 60Hz.

Q:What kind of wide-angle technology is available? How does it work?

A:The TFT LCD panel is an element that controls/displays the inlet of a backlight using the dual-refraction of a liquid crystal. Using the property that the projection of inlet light refracts toward the major axis of the liquid element, it controls the direction of inlet light and
