Foreword
TechWiz LCD 2D is a 2D simulation software designed for LCD panel design. It can generate two-dimensional structures based on mask layouts and is specifically used for simulating IPS, FFS, PVA, and other modes.
TechWiz LCD 2D allows you to design LCD panels and analyze their electrical and optical properties. It can also be applied in industries such as liquid crystal lenses and 3D displays.
This simulation software can also be used for LCD panel development and defect analysis, effectively saving time and reducing costs.
To use this simulation software correctly, please read the user manual carefully before use. By reading this user manual, users can learn the basic operations of the software program as well as advanced techniques.
TechWiz LCD 2D is highly specialized in analyzing the electro-optical characteristics of in-plane switching (IPS) modes. The result viewer program (Viewer) allows you to design mask layouts and visualize simulation results. Additionally, real-time design of structures can be performed while creating 2D structures, enabling engineers to clearly understand the shape of the model. Effective optical analysis is achieved through advanced condition control during simulation.
TechWiz LCD 2D is one of the software in the TechWiz LCD series, allowing engineers to extract 2D cross-sections from 3D models or extract 1D sections from 2D models for convenient simulation. The compatibility between the TechWiz series provides a dynamic environment for rapid in-depth analysis in specific areas.
TechWiz DB is a highly efficient database program that manages the data used for simulations. It includes a comprehensive database system divided into sections such as Materials, Layers, Light Sources, Signals, Gamma Curves, and TFT Models. Additionally, measurement data from AxoScan, EZContrast, and spectrometers can be imported and used in simulations. This means engineers can easily edit, modify, or merge internal database information through simple file lookups, and can also add user-defined data materials.
