FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

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 displays it. Since the refraction ratio of inlet light on liquid crystal varies with the inlet angle of the light, the viewing angle of a TFT is much narrower than that of a CDT. Usually, the viewing angle refers to the point where the contrast ration is 10. Many ways to widen the viewing angle are currently being developed and the most common approach is to use a wide viewing angle film, which widens the viewing angle by varying the refraction ratio. IPS (In Plane Switching) or MVA (Multi Vertical Aligned) is also used to give a wider viewing angle.

Q:Why is there no flicker on an LCD Monitor?

A:Technically speaking, LCDs do flicker, but the cause of the phenomenon is different from that of a CRT monitor -- and it has no impact of the ease of viewing. Flickering in an LCD monitor relates to usually undetectable luminance caused by the difference between positive and negative voltage. On the other hand, CRT flickering that can irritate the human eye occurs when the on/off action of the fluorescent object becomes visible. Since the reaction speed of liquid crystal in an LCD panel is much slower, this troublesome form of flickering is not present in an LCD display.

Q:Why is an LCD monitor virtually low of Electro Magnetic Interference?

A:Unlike a CRT, an LCD monitor does not have key parts that generate Electro Magnetic Interference, especially magnetic fields. Also, since an LCD display utilizes relatively low power, its power supply is extremely quiet.
