- When I posted on this subject last month, I received a reply from Scott
- Bruck who works at the Matsushita Display Technology Research
- Laboratory in Osaka (sbruck@em.drl.mei.co.jp)
-
- Regarding FSTN (film compensated super twisted nematic crystal displays)
- he said, and I quote, "no there are no particular color combinations
- that will affect the reliability of the LCD display. It may, however,
- create nearly unreadable displays!".
