Lummus Technology is an innovative company that has been around for over 30 years. Today, they are a leading manufacturer of liquid crystal display technology used in televisions and computer monitors. Lummus Tech produces more than 1,000 products worldwide through its 80 subsidiaries and associates with some of the world's leading brands such as Panasonic and LG Electronics. For many years, Lummus Tech has been recognized as the number one supplier of LCD televisions in Latin America, up to now they rank second behind Samsung Electronics in Mexico.
How are Lummus LCD monitors manufactured?
The process starts with raw materials. These include glass substrates, plastic substrates, and reflective films (such as Mylar, Co-Pao, etc.). Assembling all the layers of your display board is a long process that includes etching, painting, printing, and coating processes to produce the final product. After assembling these components into a single product Lummus LCDs are shipped or sent directly from their factories.
Does Lummus produce plasma display panels?
No. Plasma displays are manufactured differently than LED/LCD displays. Instead of liquid crystal and/or LED backlighting, plasmas have a phosphor layer or coated surface that emits light in response to bombardment by electrons (similar to neon lights). As such, plasmas are best suited for viewing in bright rooms or outside under the sun and do not require the same dark room conditions as LCDs.
Are all LCD televisions manufactured with Lummus technology?
No. Not all TVs are made from Lummus technology, but most are. At this time, over 80% of the LCD televisions made in North America are manufactured using Lummus technology.
What is Mylar?
Mylar is a laminated plastic film made from polyvinyl acetate (PVA) resin. One of its common uses is as an advertising medium for food products, but it can also be used to make reflective films with embedded images and text. Due to its thickness and flexibility, Mylar film has been widely used in televisions and computer monitors since the 1970s as a replacement for more expensive glass substrates.
What is Co-Pao?
Co-Pao is a laminated polymer film made from polyvinyl acetate (PVA) resin and cellulose acetate, which has been used since the 1970s in LCDs. Most plasma and LED monitors use plastic films instead of glass for their front panels because the polymer films are thinner, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive to produce. Like Mylar, Co-Pao laminated polymer films are used to manufacture LCD monitors on a large scale due to their quality and cost effectiveness.
What is TFT?
TFT stands for thin film transistor. These are transistors that are manufactured by a process called vacuum deposition of TiO2 (titanic oxide). Their manufacturing process has a lower cost and they have a higher transistor density than ICs. Since they manufacture smaller transistors, the overall size of the circuits being displayed is smaller making them better suited to LCDs because there is less space to work with.
How do TFTs work?
TFTs are found on nearly every display sold today, including one's television or monitor screen. They make use of liquid crystal material that is placed between two glass slabs before coating in plastic or gold paint.
Conclusion
A company with more than 80 subsidiaries and associates in its network, Lummus is a global leader in LCD technology and flat panel displays. Developing cutting-edge technologies that include thin film transistors, Mylar laminated plastic films, Co-Pao laminated polymer films, and more, Lummus Tech has become the top company in the LCD industry. Its reputation has been forged through years of research and production and is today recognized as one of the leading suppliers of LCD televisions in Latin America.
