[edit] What is TSR?
Note 2 refers to something called "TSR" with a link to a disambiguation page. I can't understand which of all the alternatives that are applicable here. Mumiemonstret (talk) 08:00, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Explanation
is any expert that could explain what "produce TFT-LCD panels by means of G3.5, G4, G5, G6 and G7.5 Fabrications" means? Thanks. --192.33.238.6 14:18, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
First of all, there is no standard for so-called TFT substrate generations in the TFT (active-matrix) LCD industry. DisplaySearch, the largest market reasearch firm specializing in flat panel displays has its definitions but other companies may differ in their definitions for various reasons. Specifically, for AU Optronics, the glass substrate dimensions for their fabrication plants are as follows. (The generations in parentheses are AUO definitions.)
(G3.5) 610 mm x 720 mm (G4) 730 mm x 920 mm (G5) 1100 mm x 1250 mm and 1100mm x 1300mm (G6) 1500 mm x 1850 mm (G7.5) 1950 mm x 2250 mm
The manufacturing process consists of four basic parts. In part 1, producers fabricate Thin-film transistors on glass substrates using semiconductor-like photolithography. In Part 2, producers fabricate color filter dots on a second glass substrate using photolithography (though people are trying to use ink-ject printing). The first and second sheetsof glass are processed on separate lines, running concurrently but not synchronized. In part 3, producers create liquid crystal alignment layers on the two substrates, put liquid crystal fluid on one, glue the TFT and color fliter sheets together (making a sandwich), then cut the individual display cells from the combined sheets. In part 4, producers apply polarizer sheets to the glass, attach row and column drivers for the TFT array, then place the cell into a backlight tray and package the module. The fourth step is often performed in lower-cost regions, such as China.
Anyway, hope this helps. The current listing is full of puffery. AU Optronics is a major producer and a strong company, however. It's recent acquisition of Quanta Display makes it about as large as Samsung Electronics and LG.Philips LCD. --Shokutaku 21:29, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Oh, you might also note that Lee Kun-yao is stepping down as chairman of AU Optronics after legal trouble and finacial trouble resulting from the acquisition of Siemen's mobile phone assets and its subsequent insolvency. Lee was chairman of both AUO and BenQ. Guess, I should just write a new article... rememind me --Shokutaku 21:36, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Auopt.gif
Image:Auopt.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
