Sharp UV2A Technology for photo alignment

Sharp has come up with its latest photo alignment technology known as UV2A Technology, where it is able to control the alignment of liquid crystal molecules in a simple LCD panel structure in a precise manner. They will incidentally be the first company in the world to do so, incorporating such technology into their LCD panels. This will definitely provide a leap (not of quantum levels though) for LCD TVs, where it will eliminate light leakage from the backlight so that extremely deep blacks are available to the discerning movie viewer. Apart from that, such technology will enable higher aperture ratios in the LCD panel in order to make the most out of the backlight, resulting in higher energy savings in the long run.
