Liquid Crystal Display (using CGS® technology)
■ “Zaurus”
equipped with CG silicon liquid crystal panel
(manufactured by Sharp Corporation)
We began development of liquid crystal displays in 1985. In 1998, we developed CGS technology in collaboration with Sharp Corporation.
CGS technology with high electron mobility, which was about 600 times higher than the electron mobility of amorphous silicon and about three times higher than that of low temperature polysilicon (LTPS), has been widely used in displays of such products as cellular phones.
