LCD technology is very complex to manufacture. The process can include up to 128 steps. Intricate structures filter light through three sub-pixels (1 Red, 1 Blue, and 1 Green for every single pixel). Because LCD features are so small and complex, manufacturing them is difficult. Simpler construction should lead to greater reliability and consistency. UniPixel fabrication should involve as little as twelve steps and requires only six layers.
