Thin Film Transistor - TFT
Definition: A type of LCD flat-panel display screen, in which each pixel is controlled by from one to four transistors. TFT technology provides the best resolution of all the current flat-panel techniques. TFT screens are sometimes called active-matrix LCDs.

Transistor
Definition: A device used to amplify a signal or open and close a circuit. In a computer, it functions as an electronic switch, or bridge. The transistor contains a semiconductor material that can change its electrical state when pulsed. Invented in 1947 at Bell Labs, transistors have become the key ingredient of all digital circuits, including computers.
