LCD-liquid crystal display.ppt (Size: 4.87 MB / Downloads: 234) liquid crystal display(LCD) PRESENTED BY RAJENDRA KUMAR NATH WHAT IS LCD A liquid crystal display(LCD) is an electronically-modulated optical device shaped in to a thin, flat panel made up of a color or monochrome pixels filled with liquid crystals and arrayed in front of light source(backlight) or reflector. USE OF LCD LCDs are commonly used for:- Portable electronic games Digital cameras and camcorders Video projection system Monitors for computers Flat-panel televisions Wrist watches etc A BRIEF HISTRY 1888:-Friedrich Reinitzer (1858-1927) discovers the liquid crystalline nature of cholesterol extracted from carrots 1904:-Otto Lehmann publishes his work "Liquid Crystals". 1911:-Charles Mauguin describes the structure and properties of liquid crystals. 1962:-Richard Williams found that liquid crystals had some interesting electro-optic characteristics and he realized an electro-optical effect by generating stripe-patterns 1972:-The first active-matrix liquid crystal display panel was produced in the United States by T. Peter Brody. ADVANTAGE OF LCD LCDs have great advantage over conventional display Least power consumption Can be fabricated in small area low cost & portable LIQUID CRYSTAL Liquid crystal state is a phase of mater which is exhibited by a large no. of organic material over a restricted temperature range. At the lower end of temperature the material is crystalline solid At the upper end of temperature it changes into clear liquid Within this range it has a milky yellowish appearance & combine some of the optical property Property:- The major characteristic is rod lik In the present day The nematic & cholestric structure are important in display device e shape of there molecule At the liquid crystal stage molecule can take up a certain orientation. This orientation is called TYPE OF ORDERING OF CRYSTAL Nematic Cholestric Smectic NEMATIC Nematic is a Greek word means Thread In this ordering molecule or directors aligned in parallel to each other. Molecule are free to move relative to each other hence this phase has liquid property This liquid crystal behavior can occur at temperature range 20o to 47o centigrade The molecule usually consist of two benzene ring linked with a central group Example:- CHOLESTRIC It made up from a large no of plane each having nematic like structure. The director directions thus display a helical twist through the material. The distance between plane of same director called pitch ORDERING OF CRYSTAL W.R.T SOLID SURFACE Homeotropic Ordering:- Perpendicular to the surface of glass Homogeneous Ordering:- Parallel to the surface of glass E Homogeneous ordering can be obtain by rubbing the surface once or twice along the particular direction with a soft fabric. ELiquid crystal molecule take up an orientation parallel to direction of rubbing. TWISTED NEMATIC CELL ON STATE:- ¢ Application of 3 to 5 volts across the plate destroys the twisted state and causes the molecules to orient perpendicular to the substrate. ¢ Giving a dark appearance to the cell

LCD Display More microcontroller devices are using 'smart LCD' displays to output visual information. The following discussion covers the connection of a Hitachi LCD display to a PIC microcontroller. LCD displays designed around Hitachi's LCD HD44780 module, are inexpensive, easy to use, and it is even possible to produce a readout using the 8 x 80 pixels of the display. Hitachi LCD displays have a standard ASCII set of characters plus Japanese, Greek and mathematical symbols. For a 8-bit data bus, the display requires a +5V supply plus 11 I/O lines. For a 4-bit data bus it only requires the supply lines plus seven extra lines. When the LCD display is not enabled, data lines are tri-state which means they are in a state of high impendance (as though they are disconnected) and this means they do not interfere with the operation of the microcontroller when the display is not being addressed. The LCD also requires 3 "control" lines from the microcontroller. Enable (E) This line allows access to the display through R/W and RS lines. When this line is low, the LCD is disabled and ignores signals from R/W and RS. When (E) line is high, the LCD checks the state of the two control lines and responds accordingly. Read/Write (R/W) This line determines the direction of data between the LCD and microcontroller. When it is low, data is written to the LCD. When it is high, data is read from the LCD. Register select (RS) With the help of this line, the LCD interprets the type of data on data lines. When it is low, an instruction is being written to the LCD. When it is high, a character is being written to the LCD. Logic status on control lines: E 0 Access to LCD disabled 1 Access to LCD enabled R/W 0 Writing data to LCD 1 Reading data from LCD RS 0 Instruction 1 Character Writing data to the LCD is done in several steps: Set R/W bit to low Set RS bit to logic 0 or 1 (instruction or character) For more information about this article,please follow the link: http://www.googleurl?sa=t&source=web&cd=...isplay.doc&ei=I823TPbyBoq4vgOptcCrCQ&usg=AFQjCNHjdP7S-xSAiu5EBzvBOGYtqEKH4A

What’s Liquid Crystals (LC) intermediary substance between a liquid and solid state of matter.e.g. soapy water light passes through liquid crystal changes when it is stimulated by an electrical charge. Examples of LCs 2. Introduction to Liquid Crystal Displays Consists of an array of tiny segments (called pixels) that can be manipulated to present information. Using polarization of lights to display objects. Use only ambient light to illuminate the display. Common wrist watch and pocket calculator to an advanced VGA computer screen Different types of LCDs Passive Matrix LCDs (PMLCD) and Active Matrix LCDs (AMLCD) Passive Twisted Nematic Displays (TNLCD) Super Twisted nematic LCD (STNLCD) Thin Film Transistor LCD (TFT LCD) Reflective LCD Rear Projection LCD 3. Operating Principle The parallel arrangement of liquid crystal molecules along grooves When coming into contact with grooved surface in a fixed direction, liquid crystal molecules line up parallel along the grooves. 3. Operating Principle Molecules movement Offline (no voltage is applied) Along the upper plate : Point in direction 'a' Along the lower plate : Point in direction 'b‘ Forcing the liquid crystals into a twisted structural arrangement. (Resultant force) 3. Operating Principle Light movement Offline (no voltage is applied) Light travels through the spacing of the molecular arrangement. The light also "twists" as it passes through the twisted liquid crystals. Light bends 90 degrees as it follows the twist of the molecules. Polarized light pass through the analyzer (lower polarizer). 3. Operating Principle Molecules movement Online (voltage is applied) Liquid crystal molecules straighten out of their helix pattern Molecules rearrange themselves vertically (Along with the electric field) No twisting thoughout the movement Forcing the liquid crystals into a straight structural arrangement. (Electric force) 3. Operating Principle Light movement Online (voltage is applied) Twisted light passes straight through. Light passes straight through along the arrangement of molecules. Polarized light cannot pass through the lower analyzer (lower polarizer). Screen darkens. 3. Operating Principle Sequences of offline and online mode Offline Surrounding light is polarized on the upper plate. Light moves along with liquid crystals and twisted at right angle. Molecules and lights are parallel to the lower analyzer. Light passes through the plate. Screen appear transparent. 3. Operating Principle Sequences of offline and online mode Online Surrounding light is polarized on the upper plate. Light moves along with liquid crystals which moves straight along the electric field. Molecules and lights are perpendicular to the lower analyzer. Light cannot pass through the plate. Screen appear dark. 3. Operating Principle Polarization of light When unpolarized light passes through a polarizing filter, only one plane of polarization is transmitted. Two polarizing filters used together transmit light differently depending on their relative orientation. 3. Operating Principle Construction of Liquid Crystal Display Two bounding plates (usually glass slides), each with a transparent conductive coating (such as indium tin oxide) that acts as an electrode; A polymer alignment layer : undergoes a rubbing process as grooves. Spacers to control the cell gap precisely; Two crossed polarizers (the polarizer and the analyzer); Polarizers are usually perpendicular to each other. 3. Operating Principle Properties of LCD Display Small footprint (approx 1/6 of CRT) Light weight (typ. 1/5 of CRT) power consumption (typ. 1/4 of CRT) Completely flat screen - no geometrical errors Crisp pictures - digital and uniform colors No electromagnetic emission Fully digital signal processing possible Large screens (>20 inch) on desktops High price (presently 3x CRT) Poor viewing angle (typ. 50 degrees) Low contrast and luminance (typ. 1:100) Low luminance (typ. 200 cd/m2) 3. Operating Principle Advantage of LCD over CRT Smaller size—AMLCDs occupy approximately 60 percent less space than CRT displays—an important feature when office space is limited. Lower power consumption—AMLCDs typically consume about half the power and emit much less heat than CRT displays. Lighter weight—AMLCDs weigh approximately 70 percent less than CRT displays of comparable size. No electromagnetic fields—AMLCDs do not emit electromagnetic fields and are not susceptible to them. Thus, they are suitable for use in areas where CRTs cannot be used. Longer life—AMLCDs have a longer useful life than CRTs; however, they may require replacement of the backlight. 4. Display Addressing Addressing is the process by which pixels are turned on and off in order to create an image. There are two main types of addressing, direct and multiplexing. Direct addressing is convenient for displays where there are only a few elements that have to be activated. With direct addressing, each pixel in the display has its own drive circuit. A microprocessor must individually apply a voltage to each element. A common application of direct addressing is the traditional seven segment liquid crystal display, found in wristwatches and similar devices. 4. Display Addressing In multiplex addressing, a larger number of pixels are involved. When the elements are in a regular order, they can be addressed by their row and column instead of each element being driven separately. This reduces the complexity of the circuitry because each pixel no longer needs its own driver circuit. If you have a 10x10 matrix of pixels, with direct addressing, you need 100 individual drivers. However, if you use multiplex addressing, you only need 20 drivers, one for each row and one for each column. This is a tremendous advantage, especially as displays become larger and larger. 4. Display Addressing Optical Response twisted nematic displays can switch between light and dark states, or somewhere in between (grayscale). Electro-distortional curve is shown as follows : the electro-distortional response determines the transmission of light through the cell. Different light intensity of an image projected on the screen is determined by different voltage suppy. Thus the level of blocking of light may vary. 5. Applications A) Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Constructed on a glass surface using a photolithographic process. The source and gate are the control electrodes. The drain electrode connects to the liquid crystal pixel. The thin layer of amorphous silicon is the semiconducting material that allows the TFT to function. The capacitor is attached to the pixel electrode, but is not an integral part of the TFT. 5. Applications B) Alpha-numeric display Digital letters can be displayed by blocking the lights in different plates we place. For applications such as digital watches and calculators, a mirror is used under the bottom polarizer. With no voltage applied, ambient light passes through the cell, reflects off the mirror, reverses its path, and re-emerges from the top of the cell, giving it a silvery appearance. When the electric field is on, the aligned LC molecules do not affect the polarization of the light. The analyzer prevents the incident light from reaching the mirror and no light is reflected, causing the cell to be dark. When the electrodes are shaped in the form of segments of numbers and letters they can be turned on and off to form an alpha-numeric display. 5. Applications C) Back lighting systems Alpha-numeric displays are not very bright because the light must pass through multiple polarizers which severely cut down on the intensity of the light, in addition to the various layers of the display which are only semi-transparent. Therefore a more intense source is employed in the form of a back lighting system. For brighter displays Light bulbs mounted behind At the edges of the display replace the reflected ambient light. Disadvantage : very power intensive. Back lighting systems are used in more complex displays such as laptop computer screens, monitors, LCD projectors, pda, digital devices such as digital camera and DV.
