Sharp Corporation and Semiconductor Energy Laboratories Company Ltd (SEL) have jointly announced the development of a new system liquid crystal display (LCD) technology based on continuous grain silicon (CG silicon).
The two companies said they have succeeded in forming an 8-bit central processor unit (CPU) onto a glass substrate for LCD displays for the first time in the world. They claim that "integrating LSI on a glass" is a new concept opening the way for expanding the use of LCDs and LSIs, and creating sheet computers and sheet TVs in the future. The newly developed technology offers the possibility of integrating a wide range of LSIs, including CPUs, ...
