— Ferroelectric LCDs have shown promise for use in high‐speed or highly multiplexed flat‐panel displays. Before ferroelectric liquid‐crystal technology could be implemented in practical devices, a number of significant problems had to be overcome. It is believed that all the remaining problems have now been removed, leaving the way open for large‐scale production of computer displays and the potential for larger devices to rival competing active‐matrix and supertwist display technologies. This paper will review the significant developments of FLCDs, illustrated by examples from both CRL and other laboratories.
