商品描述

An unprecedented look into the basic physics, chemistry, and technology behind the LCD

Most notably used for computer screens, televisions, and mobile phones, LCDs (liquid crystal displays) are a pervasive and increasingly indispensable part of our lives. 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 the device, presenting a rational development theme and pinpointing innovations. The book begins with Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism, and the ultimately profound realization that light is an electromagnetic wave and an electromagnetic wave is light.

The power of mathematical physics thus was brought to bear upon the study of light, and particularly the polarization of light by material bodies, including liquid crystals. After a brief historical description of polarization, a physical interpretation provides substance to the mathematical concepts. Subsequent chapters cover:

* Thermodynamics for liquid crystals
* The Maier-Saupe mean field, phenomenological, static continuum, and dynamic continuum theories
* The transistor and integrated circuit
* Glass, panels, and modules
* The calculus of variations
* The active matrix
* Semiconductor fabrication
* The global LCD business

Additionally, the book illustrates how mathematics, physics, and chemistry are put to practical use in the LCDs we use every day. By describing the science from an historical perspective and in practical terms in the context of a device very familiar to readers, the book presents an engaging and unique view of the technology for everyone from science students to engineers, product designers, and indeed anyone curious about LCDs.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書提供了對液晶顯示器(LCD)的基本物理、化學和技術的前所未有的深入了解。

LCD是電腦螢幕、電視和手機等設備中最常見且越來越不可或缺的部分。本書提供了歷史和商業背景,描述了創造這些美麗、巧妙且非常實用的設備所使用的獨特科學和工程技術。

本書首先描述了LCD背後的科學和技術的歷史,為設備的發展提供了合理的發展主題並指出創新之處。書中從麥克斯韋的電磁理論開始,並深入探討了光是一種電磁波,而電磁波又是光的重要認識。

數學物理的力量因此被應用於對光的研究,特別是液晶等物質對光的偏振。在對偏振的簡要歷史描述之後,物理解釋為數學概念提供了實質。接下來的章節涵蓋了以下內容:

* 液晶的熱力學
* Maier-Saupe平均場、現象學、靜態連續體和動態連續體理論
* 晶體管和集成電路
* 玻璃、面板和模組
* 變分計算
* 主動矩陣
* 半導體製造
* 全球LCD業務

此外,本書還展示了數學、物理和化學在我們日常使用的LCD中的實際應用。通過以歷史的角度和實際的術語描述科學,並將其置於讀者熟悉的設備背景下,本書為從科學學生到工程師、產品設計師,以及對LCD感興趣的任何人提供了一個引人入勝且獨特的技術視角。
