Abstract
Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) will be classified into miniature displays, reflective type, projection type, direct view type, and holography type. All of these LCDs will be widely utilized in the coming multimedia network era. Along with this trend, in the first part of this paper we will discuss the social background of this research. We will place an emphasis on a polymer stabilized (PS) FLCD that is featured by fast response speed (40 microseconds), high contrast (230: 1) with grayscale, wide viewing angle, and high resolution (400 lp/mm). The PS-FLCD will be promising technology for displaying a moving video image in the multimedia network era.
