LCD manufacturing

CSP stands for Chip Scale Package. A CSP is a very small electronic device package: one that similar in size to the integrated circuit — the “chip” — that it contains.   Editor

BGA stands for Ball Grid Array. A type of high-density electronic component package for integrated circuits. The BGA has solder balls on its backside, which line up with corresponding contacts on the front side of the PCB. The part and PCB are heated until the solder balls melt. The surface tension of the molten solder

CABC stands for Content Adaptive Backlight Control. Normally an LCD’s backlight is set to the brightness that will make a white pixel fully illuminated. CABC automatically dims the backlight to the lowest level required for the brightest pixel on the display. Simultaneously, the controller lightens the image by the same amount. Overall, there is no

A transmissive LCD depends on light from its backlight being transmitted through the LCD to your eyes. Transmissive LCDs are always combined with a backlight. Transmissive LCDs can be seen easily in normal office lighting, and in darkness. Typically transmissive LCDs will not be visible in bright sunlight. It is possible to make a sunlight

STN stands for Super-Twisted Nematic. STN is the commonly used LCD material in passive character and graphic LCDs. Editor

ZIF is short for Zero Insertion Force and refers to a type of connector. This kind of connector is intended to be used with FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) or FFC (Flat Flexible Cable). Many of our display have “ZIF tails” that easily mate with a ZIF connector. ZIF tails are beneficial over solder down tails

TFT stands for Thin Film Transistor. TFTs are also known as “Active Matrix TFT LCD modules” and have an array of these thin film transistors fabricated on the glass that makes the LCD. There is one of these transistors for each pixel on the LCD. For a typical small color TFT LCD with a resolution

ESD stands for ElectroStatic Discharge. Objects can have an electrical charge built up on them — this is called an electrostatic charge. Remember scuffing your feet on the carpet then zapping your friend? The scuffing builds up an electrostatic charge on your body. The zap is the electrostatic discharge (ESD). The integrated circuits used in

Electrophoresis is defined1 as The migration of electrically charged molecules through a fluid or gel under the influence of an electric field.” electro2– Latinized form of Greek elektro- refers to an electrical charge -phoresis3 – From Greek phorēsīs being carried, from pherein to bear An Electrophoretic Display (or ED for short) is also known as ePaper. The

AMOLED is Active Matrix OLED. An Active Matrix OLED uses a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) transistor-per-pixel architecture. Using a transistor-per-pixel allows higher resolution displays to be made and avoids the problems associated with high duty cycle passive displays. Detailed Definition In an AMOLED, once a pixel is turned on, it can stay on for the

PMOLED is Passive Matrix OLED — Passive Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. Passive Matrix refers to the arrangement of the driving electrodes in the OLED display. In PMOLED displays, there is an array of horizontal conductors and an array of vertical conductors, with the OLED material between them. A pixel is formed where the vertical
