Abstract

Abstract

Flat panel display has been widely used in electronic instrument display, car display, digital camera, smart phone, personal computer, TV products, etc. due to its small size, light weight, low power consumption and good picture quality. In this paper, we introduce the structure and principle of thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD), organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED) display and micro light-emitting diode (Micro-LED). These flat panel display technologies are compared in terms of structure, material, performance and application. Finally, the latest research progress of these kinds of flat panel display technologies is given. After years of development, LCD display still has a dominant position in the display market due to its maturity and low cost. OLED display technology has got rid of the backlight of traditional LCD, and has opened up the future development direction of self-luminous display. For a considerable period of time, LCDs and OLEDs will still coexist in the market, competing and complementing each other. QLED display and Micro-LED display, in theory, QLED display and Micro-LED display have better color performance and longer working life than OLED display, and have very broad development prospects, which will provide more and better choices for the future display industry.
