A new kind of Active-Matrix LCD, called Outside-Active-Matrix LCD (OAM-LCD), is formed by depositing the active-matrix (509) on the outside surface of the LCD substrate (506). Each active component is connected with a related dot electrode (507) of the LCD cell through thin conductive lead (511), which is hidden in the substrate (506). The OAM-LCD can use transmission LC or scattering LC. This OAM-LCD not only makes the large screen LCD feasible, but also is easy to manufacture. The OAM-LCD can be used for making large screen hang-on-wall TV, and super large screen mosaic video display both indoor and outdoor applications. OAM-LCD's features include high brightness, high efficiency, good color quality, long life time, low cost and high contrast, especially under high ambient illumination, such as under direct sunlight. |
