Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Designs and develops LCD panels, optimizing cell structures, drive methods, optical characteristics, etc.
Description
LCD panel design engineers design LCD cell structures for displays, thin-film transistor drive circuits, color filter arrangements, and consider backlight configurations to optimize display characteristics, viewing angles, response speeds, and power consumption. Considering material properties and manufacturing processes, they repeatedly conduct optical simulations and electrical circuit simulations while evaluating the total balance including mass productivity and cost. They collaborate with related departments inside and outside the company to create technical specifications, adjust customer requirements, and handle everything from prototyping to mass production launch.
Future Outlook
Amid increasing demands for higher resolution and lower power consumption, the market value of LCD panel engineers is expected to remain high with expansion into new applications such as automotive, medical, AR/VR, etc. On the other hand, competition with next-generation display technologies like OLED and microLED is advancing.
