ABSTRACT
CHAPTER 1 Introduction The TFT/LCD, an abbreviation of thin-film-transistor-addressed liquid-crystal display, is a flat-panel display in which the display medium is liquid-crystal and each picture element (pixel) is controlled by a thin-film transistor. The TFT/LCD is creating a whole new world of technology in consumer electronics and in computer and communication systems. The market for TFT/LCDs is now growing much faster than expected and impacting new application fields, as well as conventional fields.
