Full Color Display With Amorphous Silicon Pin Diodes For High Performance Applications

This paper presents the recent developments in our Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays for military, avionic and automotive applications. Data is presented for PIN diode driven active matrix liquid crystal display, with full color and high resolution (164 lines per inch). Optimization of color coordinates versus transmission has led us to better overall display performance. The contrast ratios were measured for various viewing angles (+/-60H and +45,-15 V) at different temperatures (-54 C to +85 C). The display shows good high ambient contrast ratio both by theoretical model and experimentally. The discrimination index model is used together with measurements to get the index for different high ambient light levels.
