Recent trends in wide-viewing-angle color TFT-LCDs

Many important innovations on LC display mode for wide- viewing angle color TFT-LCDs were reported within this several years, and recently the volume productions of LC monitors and LC TVs have been started using them. To realize good wide-viewing angle color TFT-LCDs, we have to design not only optical property of LC layer but also film polarizers and back lights. Typical wide-viewing angle LC display modes are classified into several categories and discuss their features.
