Thin-film transistors and flat-panel displays

This lecture covers the history, applications, and technologies of thin-film transistors (TFT) and flat-panel displays (FPD). It discusses the development of TFTs, including a-Si:H design, operations, and issues. The instructor also explores different matrix types, line and gate drivers, and active vs. passive matrix displays. Furthermore, the lecture delves into specific technologies like LCD, OLED, PDP, FED, and SED, explaining their structures and operation principles. It also touches on advanced concepts like QLED, ELD, and electrophoretic displays, highlighting their unique features and applications.
