On permanent displays
Article Abstract:
Researchers at Kent State University, OH, have designed a new liquid-crystal display (LCD) for laptop computers. The new system, which uses a material called cholesteric liquid-crystal, has higher resolution, color capabilities, and is less expensive than systems currently available.

Better displays with organic films
Article Abstract:
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) used in displays are brighter, consume less energy and are easier to manufacture. These are preferred over common light emitting diodes (LED) as the materials do not need to be crystalline and can be applied in thin layers for a slimmer profile.

Flat panel displays
Article Abstract:
The active-matrix liquid-crystal display provides a video image that is as good in quality as that provided by the cathode ray tube, but which is so flat that it can be hung on a wall or worn like a watch.
