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. 1, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20d%27%C3%A9clairage%20%C3%A0%20contre%2Djour

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 2, English, - thin%20film%20transistor
