NanoChromics Displays

Should this one be added to the electronic paper section? --Khokkanen 10:56, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Flat screen

I noticed that "flat screen" redirected here. CRTs can be "flat screen" if their screen isn't curved. -Aknorals 10:52, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguated for now. Shawnc 02:18, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This info is out of date

DLP and LCOS Displays are not Flat Panels

DLP and LCOS displays are projection-based, and therefore are not "flat". For this reason, I have removed them.

Flat Panel Measurements

How about an item explaining how the 19 inch or 17 inch etc for monitors is arrived at? (It is a slightly different method to that used for CRT tubes.) Also, how is size measured on the widescreen versions?

I agree that this article should at least link to viewable image size, possibly with a short explanation that "19 inch monitor" refers to the length of the diagonal across the image area. --DavidCary (talk) 17:50, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Flat Panel History

Should this page have a history of flat-panel technology, like when it emerged and when the first truly flat-panel television hit the market? Too many pages discuss what things are and how they work without giving their all-important backgrounds. Silly sad machine 16:07, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. flat-panel display#History is a good start, but I'm sure there are many more things to say. --DavidCary (talk) 17:50, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

all types included?

Are the types DSTN (Dual Scan Twisted Nematic) und TFT (Thin Film Transitor, Active Matrix) already included? Produced around 1995.

Look out for possible copyright violations in this article

This article has been found to be edited by students of the Wikipedia:India Education Program project as part of their (still ongoing) course-work. Unfortunately, many of the edits in this program so far have been identified as plain copy-jobs from books and online resources and therefore had to be reverted. See the India Education Program talk page for details. In order to maintain the WP standards and policies, let's all have a careful eye on this and other related articles to ensure that no material violating copyrights remains in here. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 12:54, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Electronic Papers are non-volatile

While there may be some volatile electronic paper technologies in use in the industry, neither of the two listed here as an example are volatile, and should be moved to the Static section. (neither require constant refreshing to maintain the image, which is one of the advantages of electronic paper.) Corwin MacGregor (talk) 10:21, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Market share chart

It is requested that a template-based chart or charts be included in this article to improve its quality. Useful templates may be found in Category:Chart, diagram and graph formatting and function templates. Specific illustrations, plots or diagrams can be requested at the Graphic Lab.
For more information, refer to discussion on this page and/or the listing at Wikipedia:Requested images.

It would be neat to have a chart showing the market share of flat panels vs. CRTs over time. -- Beland (talk) 20:24, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Possible merge candidate

See Electronic visual display, which I just cross-linked in the lead of both articles.

I'm going to propose this myself, since I'm a tumbleweed. It's far from clear how these two article intend to be dissected, if they remain distinct. Either clarity on this issue, or elimination of the duplication is a desired outcome. — MaxEnt 01:09, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
