Enhanced thin-film transistor driven high-aperture in-plane switching liquid crystal displays without common line and black matrix

Abstract We developed active-matrix in-plane switching liquid crystal displays (IPS-LCDs) with a new vertical structure composed of thin-film transistors (TFTs) that have an aperture ratio of 60% to reduce energy consumption. The novel TFT has a channel and a back channel made of a hydrogenated amor...
