Design architecture of realizing high performance IPS‐LCDs with a 30% improved transmittance, less color shifting, and faster response time of less than ms 16 in the grayscales was represented. The newly developed pixel structure, consisting of transparent electrodes arranged on organic insulator, improved the transmittance and shielding effect for a data line. Finally, we have developed a 20‐inch diagonal wide‐XGA LCD to confirm the performance available to flat‐panel TVs.

We have studied laser-induced rapid transformations of GeTe from an amorphous phase to a crystalline phase by means of nanosecond time-resolved optical reflectivity and transmission measurements. Two different processes for crystallization were observed. One of the crystallization processes is that inhomogeneous melting occurs in a laser-heated volume and large grains of crystalline GeTe are formed in the amorphous matrix. The other crystallization occurs at laser fluences well above the melting threshold. The phase transformation from the amorphous to the crystalline phases via a homogeneous liquid phase is triggered by the bulk nucleation in a highly supercooled liquid.
