The fiftieth anniversary of the liquid crystal display
摘要： A record is given of the special meeting organised by the UK&I Chapter of the Society of Information Display held at the Royal Academy of Engineering in London, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the RCA announcement of the first Liquid Crystal Display on 28th May 1968. Coming exactly eighty years after the report of the first liquid crystal materials, this announcement sparked interest across the globe, and particularly in the UK, Switzerland and Japan. Presentations of the early LCD history from Hilsum, Schadt and Raynes give insights into both the science and also the process of invention itself. These early contributors are followed by a view from the USA from Bos and representation from the companies Sharp and Merck that helped shape the success of these fascinating and useful materials. Also reviewed are talks on the use of organic semiconductors to drive plastic LCD by Sirringhaus, reflective LCD of Folium Optics, retail signage of Displaydata, as well as a look to the future from LCD competitors from Bodle (Phase Change Material displays) and BOE (OLED).

Luminescent Down‐Conversion Semiconductor Quantum Dots and Aligned Quantum Rods for Liquid Crystal Displays
摘要： Herein, emerging applications of luminescent semiconductor nanocrystals are addressed, such as quantum dots and quantum rods as down-conversion materials used in liquid crystal displays (LCD). Their precisely tunable emission wavelengths and narrow emission bandwidths offer high color purity resulting in a wide color gamut with vivid colors for LCDs. Anisotropic materials, such as quantum rods, have the additional advantage of polarized emission, which can bring a significant improvement to the efficiency of LCD displays. The basic optical properties of these nanomaterials are considered, with a focus on quantum rods, and the challenges and progress in their assembly are discussed. Different techniques for quantum rod alignment are introduced such as shear-oriented, electric field and magnetic field assisted assembly, mechanical rubbing, stretching, and electrospinning. The photoalignment approach allows for an easy arrangement of quantum rods in-plane, and the implications of this method to patterning are considered. Different configurations of LCDs utilizing semiconductor quantum dots and quantum rods as down-conversion layers are also presented, and the potential applications that are enabled by the wide range of emerging materials are highlighted.

Precipitating CsPbBr <sub/>3</sub> quantum dots in boro-germanate glass with a dense structure and inert environment toward highly stable and efficient narrow-band green emitters for wide-color-gamut liquid crystal displays
摘要： All-inorganic perovskite CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) are becoming the most popular narrow-band green emitter for use as a critical material in next generation wide-color-gamut backlight displays. However, their intrinsic poor stability greatly hinders their development for practical applications. Herein, CsPbBr3 QDs were successfully precipitated in boro-germanate glass (CsPbBr3 QDs@glass) with well-designed compositions, not only retaining a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY of 43% upon 450 nm excitation) and narrow bandwidth (FWHM of 22 nm), but also showing significantly enhanced stability in relation to water, heat, and UV/blue irradiation. The relative PL intensity of CsPbBr3 QDs@glass was maintained at 60% or 85% after being immersed in water for 22 days or exposed to UV light for 100 hours, respectively. Moreover, CsPbBr3 QDs@glass samples present impressive recovery abilities in thermal cycling experiments or upon intermittent blue light irradiation. Finally, an all-inorganic white light-emitting diode (white LED) achieving 125% of National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) performance was fabricated through employing green-emitting CsPbBr3 QDs@glass and red-emitting Cs2SiF6:Mn4+ phosphor-in-glass (PiG) plates as color convertors. The design rules established here could initiate the further exploration of other glass systems with moderate halide solubilities and low melting temperatures to precipitate highly e?cient and stable CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) QDs.

P-12.2: Active Matrix Field Sequential Color Electrically Suppressed Helix Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal for High Resolution Displays
摘要： In this article, we disclose a 3-inch 250ppi active matrix field sequential color electrically suppressed ferroelectric liquid crystal (ESHFLC) display. ESHFLC’s ultra-fast response time (~10μs at 6.67V/μm) enables the display resolution to be tripled via field sequential color technique. Photo-alignment technology provides ESHFLC with optimal anchoring energy which contributes to a high contrast ratio over 10K:1. Specific 3T1C pixel circuit is designed to convert the analog signal to pulse width modulation. Thus the field sequential color ESHFLC display is achieved on LTPS TFT panel. With the delivered prototype, we successfully demonstrate the active matrix FSC ESHFLC integrated display system. We believe this display may replace IPS or FFS in the near future for portable mobile market. Moreover, high resolution FSC ESHFLC can find more applications in emerging virtual reality displays.

Ligand Shell Engineering to Achieve Optimal Photoalignment of Semiconductor Quantum Rods for Liquid Crystal Displays
摘要： The photoalignment process to align semiconductor quantum rods (QRs) in the liquid crystal monomer (LCM) matrix is a flexible technology; however, the optical quality of the resulting enhancement films drops at high concentrations of the QRs. The compatibility between the ligand shell on the QRs and the LCM plays an important role in avoiding this issue. Herein, several kinds of ligand shells on the rod-in-rod CdSe/CdS QRs are designed, without affecting the optical properties of QRs, and their compatibility with LCM molecules is studied. Promesogenic dendritic ligands in combination with relatively short alkylphosphonic acids are found to provide the highest optical quality, without QR aggregation, and so the high brightness of the resulting enhancement films, even at higher concentrations of QRs in LCM, which is perfectly suitable for the application in liquid crystal displays.

Leaching of indium from end-of-life LCD panels via catalysis by synergistic microbial communities
摘要： Currently, a large amount of discarded liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are being produced, and the improper treatment of discarded LCDs causes serious environmental pollution problems. Indium is the most valuable metal in LCDs and is present in such devices at a concentration of over 0.025%. In this study, the bioleaching of indium from end-of-life LCD panels was comprehensively investigated through three methods: S-mediated pathway, Fe-mediated pathway and Mixed pathway of S- and Fe-mediated, which yielded maximum bioleaching efficiencies of approximately 100%, 0% and 78%, respectively. Microbial community analysis showed that the dominant functional bacteria under the S-mediated pathway were Acidithiobacillus. The Acidithiobacillus genus catalysed the leaching of indium, which was mainly achieved by indirect bioleaching. In addition, the microorganisms can secrete enzymes and extracellular polymeric substances, which also contributed to the leaching of indium. Therefore, this work provides an economical and efficient biological method for future research and practical applications in indium recovery from solid waste.
