User Manual BDL4211x Q: What does the Refresh Rate mean for LCD? A: Unlike CRT display technology, in which the speed at which the electron beam is swept from the top to the bottom of the screen determines flicker, an active matrix display uses an active element (TFT) to control each individual pixel and the refresh rate is therefore not really applicable to LCD technology.

User Manual BDL4211x Q: How are LCDs made? A: LCDs are created from two glass plates separated from each other at a distance of a few microns. The plates are filled with liquid crystal and then sealed together. The top plate is colored with an RGB pattern to make the color filter. Polarizers are then glued to both plates. This combination is sometimes called 'glass' or 'cell.' The LCD cell is assembled into a 'module' by adding the backlight, driver electronics and frame.

User Manual BDL4211x Q: What are the advantages of TFT LCD compared with CRT? A: In a CRT monitor, a gun shoots electrons and general light by colliding polarized electrons on fluorescent glass. Therefore, CRT monitors basically operate with an analog RGB signal. A TFT LCD monitor is a device that displays an input image by operating a liquid crystal panel. The TFT has a fundamentally different structure than a CRT: Each cell has an active matrix structure and independent active el

User Manual BDL4211x Q: Why is an LCD monitor virtually free of Electro Magnetic Interference? A: Unlike a CRT, an LCD monitor does not have key parts that generate Electro Magnetic Interference, especially magnetic fields.
