Lub sijhawm nrov ntawm cov kua siv lead ua kua zaub yog nyob rau xyoo 1990.
Qhov nrov ntawm cov kua siv lead ua kua zaub cov ntxaij vab tshaus (LCD) feem ntau yog vim kev nce qib ntawm cov thev naus laus zis thiab kev loj hlob ntawm kev lag luam xav tau. Txij li thaum txoj kev loj hlob ntawm dynamic scattering kua siv lead ua zaub los ntawm RCA hauv Tebchaws Meskas xyoo 1968, LCD thev naus laus zis tau dhau los ntawm ntau theem ntawm kev txhim kho. Nyob rau xyoo 1970, kev tsim thiab kev lag luam ntawm TN (twisted nematic) kua siv lead ua cov ntxaij vab tshaus ua rau LCD thev naus laus zis pib txav mus rau theem tswv yim. Tom qab ntawd, nyob rau xyoo 1980, txoj kev loj hlob ntawm STN (super twisted) kua siv lead ua kua cov ntxaij vab tshaus thiab cov invention ntawm amorphous silicon nyias zaj duab xis transistor kua siv lead ua zaub thev naus laus zis ntxiv txhawb txoj kev loj hlob ntawm LCD technology thiab nkag mus rau theem loj - muaj peev xwm zaub.
Hauv xyoo 1990, nrog rau kev txhim kho sai ntawm cov khoom siv ua kua siv lead ua kua (TFT-}LCD), LCD thev naus laus zis tau pib nkag mus rau theem siab - txhais cov kua siv lead ua kua. Lub sijhawm no, kev ua haujlwm ntawm TFT-LCD tau muab piv rau CRT (cathode ray tube). Txij li thaum xyoo 1996, LCD tau siv dav hauv cov khoos phis tawj, thiab peb qhov teeb meem loj uas tau ntev plagued kua muaju, saib lub kaum sab xis, xim saturation thiab ci ntsa iab, kuj tau pib daws.
Lub sijhawm no, kev nce qib ntawm LCD thev naus laus zis tsis yog tsuas yog nthuav dav daim ntawv thov ntau yam ntawm cov lus, ua rau cov tib neeg tuaj yeem siv cov khoom siv tes tuav, tab sis kuj tau tsim kev sib tw ua lag luam hnyav nrog CRTs thiab nws thiaj li dhau los ua lub hauv paus ntawm kev ua lag luam. Yog li, nws tuaj yeem hais tias xyoo 1990 yog lub sijhawm tseem ceeb rau kev nrov ntawm cov ntxaij vab tshaus LCD.
