The term "thin film transistor (TFT) technology" is commonly referred to as "active matrix technology."
Active matrix technology is used in various electronic devices, including LCD (liquid crystal display) screens, to improve image quality and response time. It involves a matrix of tiny transistors that control the pixels on the screen, allowing for faster refresh rates and better color accuracy.
In an active matrix display, each pixel has its own thin film transistor, which acts as a switch to control the flow of electric current. This enables precise control over each individual pixel, resulting in a sharper and more vibrant image.
By using active matrix technology, displays can achieve higher resolutions and faster refresh rates, making them suitable for applications that require fast-moving visuals, such as gaming or video playback.
