客户对于更高亮度，更高分辨率和更低的功耗消费需求是推动下一代液晶显示器的发展的根本。剑桥大学研究人员已开发了基于短节距的手性向列相的新显示模式，不仅实现了开关时间足够快，允许提供的帧顺序式彩色，消除吸收滤色器的功能，也提供了宽视角和高对比度率。具体介绍见英文原文参考。

    Consumer demand for higher brightness, higher resolution and lower power consumption are key requirements driving the developments of next generation liquid crystal displays. Researchers at Cambridge University have developed a new display mode based on short-pitch chiral nematics, that not only achieves switching times sufficiently fast to allow provision of frame sequential colour and hence elimination of absorbing colour filters, but also provides wide viewing angles and high contrast ratios to be achieved.
