Litton Systems Canada has been engaged in developing CdSe active matrix LCDs for many years. CdSe has much higher mobility compared to amorphous silicon, which is the most popular choice for TM at present. The high mobility, low temperature process, low cost and ease in fabrication give CdSe TFTs many advantages over amorphous and polycrystalline silicon for high resolution and large area cells. This paper describes the electro-optical characteristics such as contrast ratio and viewing angle of CdSe active matrix TN LCDs fabricated at Litton.
