New way to manufacture LCDs
Like a serendipitously discovered Arabian lamp, computer screens have always needed one thing to work properly: a good rub. But IBM researchers have found a way to do away with the tiresome polishing. They have discovered a new process for manufacturing liquid crystal that could potentially improve screen quality and viewing angles whilst saving manufacturers, and hopefully customers, millions of dollars. The breakthrough holds the first real potential to
replace a nearly century-old technique that all producers currently use to build display products.
