Devices and materials for high-performance mobile liquid crystal displays

Mobile liquid crystal displays (LCDs), often playing a role in hand-held computers, have become indispensable electronic tools to human beings in modern society. Innovative technological developments in the devices and materials have paved a successful road toward the development of mobile LCDs. Herein, after reviewing the trends and performance requirements of mobile LCDs, organic–inorganic materials as the key components of high performance mobile LCDs are addressed. Additionally, the developing trends in mobile LCDs are discussed with respect to these materials.
