Figure 17-9 An LCD matrix of wires

If you wanted color, you had to have three matrices. The three matrices

intersected very close together. Above the intersections, the glass was

covered with tiny red, green, and blue dots. Varying the amount of voltage on

the wires made different levels of red, green, and blue, creating colors (see

Figure 17-10). This technology was called passive matrix.

Figure 17-10 Passive matrix display

Current LCD monitors use some form of thin film transistor (TFT) or

active matrix technology (see Figure 17-11). To refine the X and Y wires,

one or more tiny transistors control each color dot, providing faster picture

display, crisp definition, and much tighter color control than earlier
