THE NEW GENERATION OF FLAT INSTRUMENT DISPLAYS

This article notes the recent trend in the use of liquid crystal display (LCD) panels in automobile dashboards. Much of the technical development has been concerned with reducing costs and making LCDs industrially practical. Critical problems appear to have been solved concerning interconnection technology, the production of large LCD panels, and in fabricating displays that can withstand temperature and humidity extremes. Research in these areas in the U.S., Japan, and West Germany has produced significant new fabrication technology. The discussion of this technology in this article refers to the twisted nematic display, connectors, and dichroic displays.
