Overview of Adaptive Addressing
"Adaptive Addressing" for enhanced low temperature operation.

Cold temperature LCD operation:

There are basically three factors that cause a problem at low temperatures. Each of these problems will be discussed briefly, and then we will give an overview of how Adaptive Addressing overcomes these limitations:

  1. High Multiplex Rates - The higher the multiplex rate, the worse the performance at low temperatures.

  2. Fluid Threshold Drive Voltage - As the temperature changes, the voltage threshold of the liquid crystal fluid changes.

  3. Response Time - As the temperature changes, the response time of any display get longer.

If you want a high resolution graphics display, item 1 above becomes a problem. Items 2 and 3 are closely related, and are a function of the fluid used to make the display. Because of this, they are totally out of your control.
