passive matrixA common monochrome LCD technology used in small electronic devices and appliances, toys and home medical products. Passive matrix displays (DSTN, CSTN, etc.) are not quite as sharp as active matrix (TFT) displays, but they have improved dramatically over the years. Looking head on into a passive matrix screen is not all that different than an active matrix (TFT) screen, except that passive matrix is used for monochrome, and active matrix is used for color displays. However, the viewing angle is less; a person looking from the side sees a dimmer image with passive matrix. See active matrix and LCD. How to thank TFD for its existence?
