Past, present, and future of fringe-field switching-liquid crystal display

The fringe-field switching-liquid crystal display (FFS-LCD) mode recently became a major component of LCDs for high resolution, high-image quality, low power consumption, and touch screen suitability. This review paper discusses how the FFS technology was developed, how it evolved to its present status, and also about the future advances of the FFS mode in terms of performance and technologies.
