What is the full form of TFT?

The full form of TFT is Thin Film Transistor. It is a display screen technique used in LCD (liquid crystal display). An active component that serves as a switch for each pixel to be switched on and off is TFTs. These are made up of a broad range of semiconductor compounds similar to silicon.

Important points about TFT

• In TFT, one to four transistors regulate every pixel. Among all the flat-panel processes, the TFT technology is renowned for its high resolution, but it is also quite costly.
• TFT screens are often referred to as active-matrix LCDs since each pixel uses a transistor organized in the matrix form.

The key device used in TFT technology

The key devices featuring TFT Technology are listed below

• Computer screen (monitor)
• Television
• Laptops
• Smartphones
• Navigation systems
• Video gaming systems
• PDAs (Personal digital assistants)
• Besides, AMOLED screens contain a TFT layer.

Benefits of TFT

• The key benefit of TFT technology is that, for each pixel on the display, it has a separate, small transistor.
• As the picture is updated many times per second, it allows the display to refresh quite fast.
