Breaking the displays barrier
In 1974, the world’s first prototype for a flat, active-matrix LCD was demonstrated. Yet, without a technology capable of mass-producing the small, thin transistors behind their pixel arrays, LCD displays might just have remained in the laboratory. Five decades later, this early innovation has evolved into an industry worth more than USD 133 billion per year. That’s 272 million square meters of LCD and AMOLED displays produced every year for everything from TVs and car displays to computers and mobile devices. At the heart of this revolution is a technology designed and built in Täby, Sweden.
