Case Study From Sweden to Japan: The Case of Canon and Ferroelectric LCDs

Author

  • Jon Sigurdson

Abstract

This paper describes the early discovery of the ferroelectric principle for use in liquid crystal displays, and the way in which the Swedish laboratories which developed the early displays were unable to secure support from Swedish companies. The early work was taken up by the Japanese company Canon, which pursued this technical option as an alternative to the dominant thin film transistor LCD technology mastered by Sharp and other Japanese firms. However FLC technology has yet to deliver on its promise in market applications.
