Recent improvements in liquid crystal display (LCD) panels for multimedia and medical products have led to the publication of numerous books on this topic. Most of these books focus on the materials and/or LCD technologies. They are often written from the physics or chemistry point of view, or even from a historical perspective. This book, Liquid Crystal Display Drivers – Techniques and Circuits, is different. The authors, David J.R. Cristaldi, Salvatore Pennisi and Francesco Pulvirenti, deal with LCDs from the electronic engineering point of view, and specifically focus on reliable techniques, architectures and design solutions amenable to efficiently designing driving circuits for such systems. Beginning with an introduction to the physical-chemical properties of liquid crystal (LC) substances, this book addresses the LC evolution and application to LCDs, and examines and explains techniques and suitable schemes for passive-matrix and active-matrix LCDs. Finally, charge pump circuits for LCD drivers are also provided.
