`
`Summary
`
`This seminar is intended to serve as an introduction to the more-detailed CRT and
`
`flat-panel t0pics which follow in the other seminars, short courses, application semi-
`nars, applications sessions, and symposium. It is intended to provide both the novice
`
`and serious display technologist with a snapshot in time as to the relative status,
`
`features, and limitations of each of the major direct-view display technologies. The
`technologies covered include conventional CFlTs (including field-emission devices),
`electroluminescence, plasma, flat CRTs, and liquid-crystal displays. Current status,
`
`features,
`
`limitations, and an overview of the most recent developments in each
`
`technology will be presented. Technology trends and prospects for the future will also
`be reviewed.

`
`Introduction and Discussion
`
`In recent years the status of the various advanced display technologies has
`been changing rapidly. Since this talk was last presented at the 1994 SID, significant
`progress has occurred. Continued research in the flat panel display area has resulted
`in the introduction of high information content products which challenge the CRT in
`many specialized applications, have replaced it some others and dominate in
`applications which require the many desirable potential flat panel attributes, including
`smaller form factor, lower weight, lower power, etc.. However the CRT has also
`advanced and continues to set the standard by which all other products are measured.
`Where large size, high performance (> 1000 lines) and/or low cost are paramount, the
`CRT still dominates in both direct view and projection applications.
`In addition to
`serving as a basic technology introduction for the more detailed Seminar and
`Symposium topics to follow, this talk will attempt to compare the current status of each
`technology, provide a list of representative "largest available" current products and
`identify technology trends.
`
`The figures and tables which follow give the overview of each of the
`technologies and are intended to be self explanatory. During the presentation,
`additional color slides will be shown which provide examples of the current
`performance representative of each technology.
`It is hoped that this review and
`summarization will be useful to the attendees.

`Panel Cost Vs. Electronics Cost
`
`- For Each Technology, a Trade-Off Must Be Made
`Between Panel Complexity and Electronics Complexity
`- Typically. Technologies With the Simplest Addressing
`Techniques Have the Most Complex Structures and
`Vice Versa.
`
`- Technologies Requiring High Voltage Drive (EL, PDP,
`and Cost Flat CRT’s) Use Expensive Drivers (3-10+
`Cents Each). However, Many of These Technologies
`Require Fewer Drivers for a Given Panel Size.
`- Currently, Electronics Costs is Often Viewed as a More
