The Need:

A significant part of the cost of current large screen LCDs is the color filter array needed to make the display full color. This array not only adds cost directly, but it also requires the underlying panel have 3x the target resolution of the panel and reduces the system power efficiency by at least 3x. Field sequential color (FSC) LCDs would eliminate the need for the color filter plate, allow increased resolution and make the panels more efficient, which is an especially important property for battery powered systems such as laptop screens. While FSC LCDs have considerable promise in terms of both cost and performance, they also have major technological hurdles to overcome before they can become mass-market products instead of laboratory demonstrations.

Report Objective:

The objective of this report is to supply technologists, managers, product planners, engineers, researchers and marketing personnel with the information needed to evaluate field-sequential LCD technology for large screen applications such as laptop computers, desktop monitors and LCD-TV. FSC systems have been demonstrated at technical conferences such as SID but further development is still necessary. This report will not only outline the current state of the technology, but will indicate which areas of FSC LCD technology need additional work before product design can begin.

Highlights:

• Overview of existing large screen LCD technology
• Elements of current LCD technology that will carry forward into FSC systems
• Technical requirements for FSC systems
• Backlight technology for FSC
• Liquid crystal effects that have sufficient speed to support FSC displays
• Development roadmap for FSC displays
