Abstract

The full-fledge development for liquid-crystal display (LCD) technologies began aiming to achieve a “wall-mounting TV” in the 1960s. Since then, it has been more than 30 years from the birth of LCD product, the market of LCDs has grown above 10 billion dollars, and in the future, it is expected to further expand at a fast pace. The driving force in the current marketplace will be the original goal, “LCD TVs,” which contribute to drastically improving display performance of LCD and the evolution of LCDs. This paper, therefore, will focus on the LCD-TVs, and describe their history, the state-of-the-art of the technologies, as well as the prospect of their potential in the future.
