TFT LCDs are one type of active matrix LCD, though this is usually synonymous with them. They are used in both flat panel displays and projectors. In computing, TFT monitors are rapidly displacing competing CRT technology, and are commonly available in sizes from 12 to 30 inches. As of 2006, they have also made inroads on the television market.

Introduction: [^]

The following TFT-LCD makers have been sued, and/or are under investigation:

  • LG Phillips

  • Samsung Electronics

  • Sharp Corporation

  • Toshiba Corporation

  • Hitachi Limited

  • Sanyo Epson

  • NEC Corporation

  • IDT International

  • AU Optronics

  • Chi Mei Optoelectronics

  • Chungwa Picture Tubes Ltd.

  • Hanstar Display Corporation

Due to the immense cost of building TFT factories, the number of major OEM panel vendors is small. Several of the most well-known are Sharp Corporation, Samsung Electronics, LG.Philips LCD and AU Optronics. As of April 2006, the three biggest manufacturers are LG.Philips and Samsung with 22% of the market, followed by AU Optronics with a 19% share.

Recent lawsuits and government investigations allege that these manufacturers, among others, conspired to fix prices for these displays. As noted above, TFT-LCD displays are commonly used in computer and notebook computer monitors, and flat panel television sets, among other consumer items.
