Screens will never be same again

Article Abstract:

Liquid crystal displays little power at low voltage compared to cathode ray tubes. Their twisted nematic liquid crystals have a slow pixel response time and poor contrast. The next generation is ferroelectric liquid crystal displays (FLCD) which will bring flat, high-definition television screens which hang on the wall. FLCDs use a different type of liquid crystal which is bistable. Their fast response makes them ideal for pen-based computer systems.GEC is developing an autonomous electronic label.
