Introduction to Flat Panel Displays describes the fundamental physics and materials of major flat panel display technologies including LED, OLED, LCD, PDP and FED and carbon nano-tubes. A textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students, the book covers the basic sciences behind each display technology and gives solved problems and homework problems in each chapter to help consolidate their reading. Comparisons of the strengths and weaknesses of each of the display technologies will help display engineers to make decisions on which to use for their applications.
- Provides comprehensive coverage of flat panel display technologies, describing the fundamental physics and materials.
- An advanced text covering the fundamental physics and materials behind FPD technology, a technology that has many applications including mobile phones, TVs and computers.
- Part of the SID series in Information Display, Introduction to Flat Panel Displays is a logical approach to FPD technologies emphasizing the basic sciences of each display technology with chapters on light emitting diodes (LED), organic light emitting diodes (OLED), liquid crystal display (LCD), plasma display panel (PDP), field emission display (FED) and more.
