TFT Display (Thin Film Transistor)

TFT stands for 'Thin Film Transistor', a flat-panel liquid crystal display variant which uses active matrix technology.

One to four transistors are located next to each pixel which allows the pixel to be turned on and off at an increased rate.

TFT has a faster response time than passive-matrix technology and produces improved image quality and higher contrast than is possible with STN displays.

The downside is to TFT is increased power consumption and higher manufacturing costs compared to technology such as STN.
