Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays: Fundamentals and Applications

Book Description

Active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs) are the preferred choice when thin, low power, high quality, and lightweight flat panel displays are required. Here is the definitive guide to the theory and applications of AMLCDs.

Contemporary portable communication and computing devices need high image quality, light weight, thin, and low power flat panel displays. The answer to this need is the color active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD). The rides of AMLCD technology over less than two decades to undisputed dominance as a flat panel display has been breathtaking, and designers of portable devices need a thorough understanding of the theory and applications of AMLCDs. Willem den Boer, a holder of over 30 patents in imaging technologies, has created this guide to AMLCD theory, operating principles, addressing methods, driver circuits, application circuits, and alternate flat display technologies (including active matrix flat panel image sensors). Numerous design and applications examples illustrate key points and make them relevant to real-world engineering tasks.

Good introductory text.......2007-10-05

"Fundamentals" is right in the title. Covers AMLCD physics, technology and manufacturing in a very straightforward and easy to read text. It is useful if you are curious about how AMLCD's work, but does not have enough depth for serious study.

Customer Reviews:

Not all inclusive.......2002-02-22

This book is all about the systems and equipment, how they work or not together. It does not go into decor of said equipment. No themes or anything like that, just the tecnical mumbo jumbo. It seems to focus on higher end equipment as well and does not give each manufacturer of stereo/audio equipment equal reviews or ratings. Some are just brushed over, barely mentioned. It is a good starter book, but definetly does not cover all aspects of a home theater design.

It's History and Not Up To Date.......2001-12-28

The book is well written and the material covered logically organized. However, advances in technology makes this more of a history text than the current "how-to" book that I was looking for. You would never buy this book in a store because you would flip through a few pages and find out that Wolenik talks about DVD in the "future tense". I would buy an updated version -- even for a rank beginner this one is not worth much. OK pictures!

two words: outdated and elementary.......1999-02-17

This book is very basic and is well outdated by at least 3-4 years. no mention of dvd or dts!! according to the author thx is the breaking revolution??? I purchased the book in hopes of finding a few tips on the design and building of an actual home theater ($15,000 - $25,000). what i got was a boring explanation of dolby pro logic and stereo sound. if you are designing a $1500 system with a $300 dolby surround sound receiver this is the book for you!!!!

if not keep looking!!!!!!!!!!!

Very Basic - Disappointing.......1998-09-26

Disappointed that there was only 1-2 pages on Front projector Theaters and 1-2 pages on rear projection theaters.

I've done aikido with Paul Linden..........2007-03-01

and the man is the real thing. He's a small man and I've seen him throw guys twice his size with no effort, and I've felt him throw me too. I haven't read his book but I've given this five stars because after being on the mat with him and having the chance to talk to him about the book afterwards, you couldn't meet a nicer or more unpretentious guy. He *definitely* knows what he's talking about when it comes to body movement and if you *actually follow* what he's telling you to do instead of dismissing it like the person above who gave it 1 out of 5 did, I'm sure it'll work. I'm damn sure his aikido works, so I'd like to recommend this just on those grounds alone :-)

Excellent.......2003-10-11

I've developed intense pain from using the mouse (both on right and left hands). I was doing a lot of graphic work, lots of double clicking and dragging. Going weekly to the chiropractor relieved 20% of the pain. After one session with a Feldenkreis practioner, 80% of the pain was gone. She lent me the 1st edition of this book, which is what the review is based on.

I've taken Feldenkreis lessons before, but never noticed much difference. I now realize that this pain has raised my awareness levels of my body in a way I didn't know before. Now I can do simple Feldenkreis lessons at home and feel a definite difference in muscles being looser and moving better. This book is great on raising my body awareness while I am at the computer.

I've professional training in safety and ergonomics. I learned more from this book that was not covered in previous professional training. Understanding about the proper pelvis position while sitting and how it affects your arms was an eye opener. The general public has a misunderstanding of what good posture is supposed to look like.

The only thing I would recommend is a more in depth chapter on the different types of mice (pointing devices) and keyboards available out there, their pros and cons. Having to choose a new pointing device and keyboard for myself has been a daunting task. I've already returned 2 keyboards with centrally located touchpads that relieved some of the pain, but not all. I'm now considering a vertical mouse and the comfort keyboard, which would keep my hands in the vertical position. Maybe this is covered in the new book edition or maybe this topic is too individual to be covered in a generic book.

As the author mentioned to me in an e-mail:

If you sensitize yourself to feelings of balance and ease in your body, you will be better able to detect which ergonomic devices are actually helpful.

I particularly enjoyed having him respond to specific questions I posed.

Highly recommended!

A *very, very* useful book.......2001-10-10

I completely disagree with the review below from 1/29/01. The most important tool to overcome repetitive strain injury is awareness of how you are using your body & how you may be injuring it by the way you move (or by not moving enough!). The exercises in this book help you become much more aware of your posture, body tension, & awkward movements that may be causing your problems. Learning how to relax your body is essential to recovery.

Even better, the guidance on how to sit has changed my life. I can finally work at my computer without back pain!

BTW, I also recommend Pascarelli's excellent book. These two complement each other nicely.

Fluffy non-specific waste of money.......2001-01-30

This book is a mushy worthless waste of reading time. I stopped reading after 4 chapters of stuff like, "Now close your eyes and imagine stretching your fingers. Feel the difference. Visualize a butterfly...blablabla"

The "It's not Carpal Tunnel" book was much better; full of stretches and useful advice.

A boon to computer users.......2000-09-08

This book changed my life at work. I have to admit, I didn't exactly follow the "program" - I skipped to the section on sitting, which is what interested me. I have a chronic, mild, back problem, and I had searched and searched for a computer chair that would allow me to sit without pain. I had 3 loaner chairs from different companies, after trying about 20 at the display area at my university ergonomics group, and with all of them, my back hurt. Then I read and worked with Paul's book - and now I sit on a not wonderful chair, with a rolled up towel (and a cushion to make up for the seat), and I am comfortable, all day. He teaches you how to sit, how to move, without expensive gadgets. Try it.

Not for the Novice.......2003-03-18

Although the book is loaded with tips on servicing a computer monitor, they're not for the novice. One needs to understand and have a working knowledge of the equipment. Replacing a part is NOT a piece of cake (as one reviewer says!). You still need a schematic diagram (technicians know this) to identify the part mentioned in the book. The book does not caution you of the safety hazards or precautions you need to know of when working on a monitor. It assumes you are already aware of the dangers when working on this equipment. Computer monitors are like TV sets. They can be dangerous for the untrained. For one to understand the workings of a monitor, it is best to get hold of books by Joseph Deposito or Tony Jamaa on the subject matter before getting this book. But for the experienced technician, this is good reference material and shoould help to cut down on the guesswork.

Fixing monitors is a piece of cake with this book!.......2000-06-08

This book shows tips and tricks about fixing computer video monitors. An example: "Samsung Syncmaster 3 with problem A; Solution: change the transistor X". A piece of cake. Covers almost all video monitors available at the market. ( ) END
