A display screen made with TFT(thin-film transistor) technology is a liquid crystal display(LCD), common in notebook and laptop computers, that has a transistor for each pixel(that is, for each of the tiny elements that control the illumination of your display). Having a transistor at each pixel means that the current that triggers pixel illumination can be smaller and therefore can be switched on and off more quickly. 6, record 5, English, - thin%20film%20transistor
