Active matrix display
Electronic components; LCD Panels
A type of display using thin-film transistors (TFT) to individually control each pixel. Active matrix displays offer higher contrast ratios, wider viewing angles, and faster response times than ...
Contrast ratio
Electronic components; LCD Panels
The ratio of the luminosity of the brightest and the darkest colour a display is capable of producing.
Colour saturation
Electronic components; LCD Panels
A measure of a color's purity. A highly saturated colour contains a very narrow set of wavelengths and appears much more vivid than a similar, but less saturated color.
Aperture ratio
Electronic components; LCD Panels
The ratio of the actual light-transmitting area to the theoretical sub-pixel size calculated based on active area and resolution.
Aspect ratio
Electronic components; LCD Panels
The ratio of width to height. When an image is displayed on different screens, the aspect ratio must be kept the same to avoid 'stretching' in either the vertical or horizontal direction. Aspect ...
Backlight
Electronic components; LCD Panels
Some LCD displays are illuminated by the use of separate light sources or backlights that are built into the unit behind the LCD panel.
