FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q:
How does a TFT LCD Panel work?
A:
On each column and row of the TFT LCD panel, a data source drive and a gate drive are
attached, respectively. The TFT drain of each cell is connected to the electrode. The
molecular arrangement of liquid crystal elements differ according 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.

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 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 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 optimize 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
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.
