A current area of research in LCDs which would make things like this much easier and at far quicker response time is to make them "driven" in both directions. At the moment the default alignment of the crystals is defined by etching on the glass on either side, and applying an electric field causes the alignment to shift rapidly, blocking light from getting through. The reverse process is driven by the diffusion of crystals back to their original configuration, which is much slower. Unfortunately there's no simple way of doing this with the current arrangement of etching-based alignment. A possible candidate is a helical arrangement along the axis of the display (as opposed to out of it) which can be made to move in both directions, but this makes alignment very difficult as the shape can not simply be defined by such straightforward etching on both surfaces. ]]>May 27th 2007 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/27/toshiba-demos-ocb-lcd-technology-but-doesnt-deliver/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/27/toshiba-demos-ocb-lcd-technology-but-doesnt-deliver/
ocb-lcd screens would use less power for same brightness & faster response time + better color space (due to led back lighting) & easier to make higher resolution.

in addition, it does not have color filters, it can be made cheaper as long as required led back lights & faster electronics' prices are getting lower.

however, current challenge is the ocb-wv filter & the flickering.

samsung is considered as the leader in ocb-lcd technology
