1. 无源矩阵液晶显示器:
它使用由氧化铟锡组成的垂直和水平导体网格来创建图像。每个像素由两个导体的交叉点控制。它代表 LCD 的关闭状态,即像素处于关闭状态。
2. 有源矩阵液晶显示器:
它使用以矩阵形式排列在玻璃表面上的薄膜晶体管。为了控制电压,在每个像素位置使用微小的开关晶体管和电容器。之所以这样称呼活动像素,是因为它能够控制单个像素并快速切换它们。
有源矩阵 LCD 和无源矩阵 LCD 的区别:
Sr.No. |
Active Matrix LCD |
Passive Matrix LCD |
---|---|---|
1. | It uses thin film transistors that are arranged in a matrix on a glass surface. To control the voltage tiny switching transistors and capacitors are used at each pixel location. | It uses grid of vertical and horizontal conductors such that the intersection of two of those conductors allows for controlling a single pixel. |
2. | The primary constituent is silicon (allows for assigning one transistor for each pixel). | The primary constituent is Indium Tin Oxide (referred to as ITO). |
3. | Cost is usually higher. | They are less costly. |
4. | It has higher response time. | It has low response time. |
5. | Used for Full Graphic Displays. | Used for segmented digits or character displays. |
6 | It allows the viewer much more freedom to choose his/her angle. | They are best viewed head on. When the user to either side to view screen from an oblique angle, it will cause color distortion, dimming and other problems. |
7. | Refresh rates are high. | Refresh rates are low. |
8. | They display higher resolution. | They display lower resolution as compared to active matrix LCD. |
9. | They have the ability to create gray scale. It also offers 256 levels of brightness per pixel. | They don’t reproduce colors accurately. |
10. | Active matrix LCDs are used in full-color LCD TVs monitors, cell phones etc. | They are used in calculators display or a digital wrist watch where the display contains a limited number of segment and does not require full color. They are often created for custom applications. |
详细说明,无源和有源显示器也有几种类型,它们属于自己的类别。例如,无源 LCD 可能是以下类型:
- 单色 TN(扭曲向列)——这里的液晶单元不需要任何电流流过它们,并在电池提供的较低电压下自动工作。
- 单色 STN(超扭曲向列) – TN 的扩展,但增强了允许选择性波长的光通过的能力。
同时,主动显示可以进一步分类为:
- TN(扭曲向列)——注意即使是无源显示器也可能采用这种技术。
- IPS(面内切换)——只有当任何电流流过液晶时,才会发生任何 90° 排列。否则,对齐是水平的,屏幕呈现为不透明。
- SIPS(Super In-Plane Switching)– IPS 的改进版本,具有更亮的色彩和更快的响应速度。
