Providing both an historical and a business-minded context, this extensive resource describes the unique scientific and engineering techniques used to create these beautiful, clever, and eminently useful devices. In this book, the history of the science and technology behind the LCD is described in a prelude to the development of t 410 0$aWiley SID series in display technology. 606 $aLiquid crystal displays 606 $aLiquid crystal devices 615 0$aLiquid crystal displays. 615 0$aLiquid crystal devices. 676 $a621.3815/422 700 $aChen$b Robert H.$f1947-$0887004 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139625903321 996 $aLiquid crystal displays$91980723 997 $aUNINA
