Q: What kind of wide-angle technology is available? How does it work?
A: The TFT LCD panel is an element that controls/displays the inlet of a b\
acklight
using the dual-refraction of a liquid crystal. Using the property that t\
he projection of
inlet light refracts toward the major axis of the liquid element, it con\
trols the direction
of inlet light and displays it. Since the refraction ratio of inlet ligh\
t on liquid crystal
varies with the inlet angle of the light,...](http://img.usermanuals.tech/thumb/59/52306/w300_philips_170c8f-user-manual-9.png "Page 10
