Liquid crystal displays using our crystalline oxide semiconductors (the world's first) have been used in smartphones manufactured by Sharp Corporation since 2012; thus pioneering a new field in the LCD industry.
In addition to the feature of high resolution, LCDs using our crystalline oxide semiconductors can perform idling stop (IDS) driving, which enables low power consumption.
Reflective LCD
A combination of a reflective LCD and IDS driving eliminates the backlight, enabling extremely low power consumption. This can enable an ideal e-reader that has a long battery life and is easier on the eyes.
