CONT

Ainsi, une lumière émise par un système d'éclairage à contre-jour [...] passe à travers le matériau et l'électrode du pixel 11 pour générer l'affichage visuel souhaité. Si l'on veut obtenir un affichage en couleur, on combine les électrodes à pixel 11 avec des filtres des trois couleurs primaires (rouge, vert et bleu) de façon à obtenir toutes les couleurs, y compris les demi-teintes.

CONT

Wholly aromatic polyester fiber-reinforced high performance thermoplastic and process for preparing same. Self-reinforced polymer composites of 60-5% by weight of an at least partially crystalline high performance thermoplastic polymer and 40-95% by weight of a melt processable wholly aromatic polyester which exhibit anisotropic properties in the melt phase. This wholly aromatic polyester is a liquid crystal polymer... The wholly aromatic polyester is in the form of... unidirectionally oriented continuous fibers, primarily in the range of about 1 to 10 micrometers in diameter, distributed in a matrix of polyether etherketone. The polymer composites of this invention have high tensile strength, high modulus, satisfactory elongation, good impact strength, good flame resistance, good high temperature properties, and good electrical properties which remain stable over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies.

Record 3 2008-06-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Hardware
DEF

The active matrix liquid crystal display(LCD) technology most common in LCD panels and monitors.

OBS

It places the controller of the panel directly on the surface of the glass, producing higher quality screen images.

CONT

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.

Record 4 2004-09-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Display Technology
DEF

A type of passive matrix LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) that provides faster refresh rates than conventional passive matrix displays by dividing the screen into two sections that are refreshed simultaneously.

OBS

Dual scan displays are generally not as sharp or bright as active matrix displays, but they consume less power.

OBS

Type of passive-matrix display found with portable computers and flat panel displays. A dual-scan display refreshes twice as often as the regular passive-matrix.

Record 5 2004-09-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Display Technology
DEF

A passive matrix LCD [liquid crystal display] technology where two separate LCD plates are combined to form a single panel for improved image quality and contrast.

CONT

PM [passive matrix] LCDs come in several types including supertwisted nematic, double supertwisted nematic and triple supertwisted nematic. The original PM LCDs had a very limited viewing angle and poor contrast. Super and double supertwisted nematic designs provide an increased viewing angle and better contrast.

Subject field(s)
  • Air Navigation Aids
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
OBS

The Electronic Flight Display System(EFDS) is an updated version of the Flight Display System(FDS). It is defined as the flight instrument, associated controls, and its interface to the aircraft, and is designed to provide the pilot, co-pilot, or Navigation/Communication(NAV/COMM) Officer with a comprehensive, unambiguous presentation of navigation information adequate for both worldwide tactical and non-tactical navigation. The display unit uses a flat panel domestic Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display(AMLCD). The FDS functionally replaces the P-3 electro-mechanical Horizontal Situation Indicator(ID-1540/A), electro-mechanical Flight Director Indicators(FDI)(ID-1556), selected functions of the Navigation Availability Advisory Lights, and integrates GPS navigation with the flight instruments. Additional information such as navigational aid waypoint locations, GPS annunciation, and FDS status pages are also displayed.

OBS

Record 9 1996-01-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electronic Devices
DEF

A display matrix where each liquid crystal is associated with one transistor therefore showing superior contrast and images.

CONT

All the systems considered for the Best Overall category had active-matrix screens; active matrix remains a clearly superior technology. These displays use three transistors to control each pixel’s red, green, and blue values. By contrast, passive-matrix screens use three transistors to control and entire row or column of pixels.

OBS

This term is mostly used as an adjective qualifying screen or display. Since this technique requires a great amount of energy, it is not very popular in subnotebooks.

Key term(s)
  • active matrix display device
  • active matrix display
  • active matrix screen

French

Domaine(s)
  • Dispositifs électroniques
DEF

Matrice d'affichage où chaque cristal liquide est associé à un transistor, offrant ainsi un excellent contraste et permettant d'obtenir une image d'une grande qualité.

CONT

L'écran rétroéclairé de ce Power-book 165C emploie la technologie de la matrice passive. Chaque ligne ou colonne de points est pilotée par un transistor, contrairement à ce qui se produit dans une matrice active où le système contrôle individuellement chaque point.

CONT

La terminologie de matrice active désigne les écrans comprenant dans la matrice des composants électroniques tels que diodes ou transistors.

OBS

Ce terme est la plupart du temps utilisé comme complément des noms moniteur ou affichage.
