E

E-Paper

E-Paper displays, also referred to as E-Ink displays, are extremely low power, monochrome displays which are designed to look like ink on a piece of paper. They are reflective displays meaning they have no backlight and therefore use very little power.

T

TFT – Thin Film Transistor

A TFT display is a form of Liquid Crystal Display with thin film transistors for controlling the image formation. The TFT technology works by controlling brightness in red, green and blue sub-pixels through transistors for each pixel on the screen.
