field emission display

An X-Y electrically addressable series of arrays with individual electron emitters bombarding a phosphor-coated transparent plate. The phosphor is induced into luminescence, similar to traditional...

flat panel display

An electronic display in which a flat screen is formed by an orthogonal array of display devices, such as electroluminescent devices, light-emitting diodes or liquid crystal cells.

flexible display

A flexible display refers to a type of electronic visual display that is designed to be bendable, foldable, or rollable, allowing for unconventional form factors and enhanced portability. Unlike...

gas discharge display

A display device that contains an inert gas that gives off orange light when a high voltage is applied to ionize the gas.

head-up display

An optical system that superimposes a synthetic display providing navigational or weapon-aiming information on a pilot's or driver's field of view. The system includes a cathode-ray tube, collimating...

helmet-mounted display

A compact optical projection system, mounted on or built into a helmet, and used to project data or a scene directly into the eyes of the wearer. Also called visually coupled display.

interferometric modulator display

Interferometric modulator display (IMOD) is a type of display technology used in electronic devices, known for its energy efficiency and ability to produce high-quality reflective color displays....

liquid crystal display

An alphanumeric display formed by a layer of liquid crystal material sandwiched between two sheets of glass; a transparent conductive coating on the glass is etched to form the character segments. An...

matrix-controlled display

A display that is formed in an X-Y manner; i.e., two inputs allow control of X2 elements.

microdisplay

A microdisplay is a miniature electronic display technology that is designed to project visual information onto a small screen. Unlike traditional displays, microdisplays are typically very compact...

monostable display

A matrix-controlled display that has no information storage at the display surface.

passive-matrix liquid crystal display

An LCD that has pixels with no internal drive transistors.

passive-matrix OLED display

An OLED display formed by creating an array of OLED pixels connected by intersecting anode and cathode conductors arranged in rows and columns. Electrical power is passed through selected pixels by...

plasma display

A type of flat panel display made up of a layer of gas between two glass plates. The glass is coated with parallel conductors that form cells which, when energized, produce a gas discharge that makes...

radar display

The spontaneous visual presentation of radar information by electronic traces on a cathode-ray tube.

raster scan display

A display in which regeneration takes place serially at a fixed speed in a set pattern through the scan lines.

remote display unit

A display device, such as a cathode-ray tube, that is located at some distance from the source generating the displayed information.

supertwisted birefringent effect display

A liquid crystal display using the material in its supertwisted nematic phase; the birefringence of the liquid crystal results in a characteristic yellow or blue color, unless corrected.

ultraprecision cathode-ray tube display

A highly accurate cathode-ray tube used to display information with the utmost efficient stability and resolution. The information is viewed as a series of points, particularly suited for...

virtual retinal display

The use of miniature scanners to project raster-scanned video images directly onto the surface of the human retina, eliminating the need for a projection surface.
