Homework Problem Set For Weeks 6 and 7: CF Substrate
1a) Sketch the major features of a TFT in cross-section. Include typical materials.
SiNx Al ITO
1b) Sketch the cross-section of a color, active matrix, TFT TN LCD. Show the color
filters, the pixel electrodes (both sides), the alignment layer on each side and the address
conductors.
CF Substrate
TFT Substrate
1c) What material provides the pixel electrode? What is the special optical property
required of the material?
ITO -- Transparent
1d) What is the typical method for setting the alignment direction of the alignment layer?
Partly to Vcom, partly to the column lines partly to the pixel through Cgd and if
connected to the gate line, Cs.

4b) Assuming that Clc is a function of GL voltage, derive the following equation from the
equation derived in 4a above:
OE
Row N
Row N + 1
Row N + 2
Row N + 3
Line N Line N+1 Line N+2 Line N+3
OE shortens the row signal to assure it reaches the end of the line before the CD data
changes.
