History of display technology → Display examplesDisplay examples – The page is and has always been meant to show what display technologies that are available. The introduction year is a helpful side note, not the primary subject. Any historic description should be on a separate article as it will make it harder than otherwise to get a quick overview. Preferably a subcategory. I request that the article be renamed to its original name. Electron9 (talk) 19:23, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Article as it stands shows the progressive history of displays. 'Display examples' sounds like a description of a subsection of an article, not an article itself. The comments of both AfDs suggested that the name 'Display examples' was incorrect, and that it needed to be renamed. - SudoGhost (talk) 19:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Both Display device and Category:Display technology already provide such a list of display technologies. Also, as noted in the AfD, Wikipedia is not an image gallery. A historical perspective provides more context and makes the article more meaningful than just a gallery of images. Casablanca2000in (talk) 20:46, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Move of course ;) Electron9 (talk) 12:21, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - The previous AFDs show a belief that the article content provides a base from which to build a timeline or history of display technologies. The title "History of display technology" accurately reflects this whereas "Display examples" is pushing this article back into the image gallery arena. -- Whpq (talk) 13:40, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete/Merge if this is only "display examples", it should be deleted or merged into the main article. The only way this is a viable article is if it is a timeline. 65.94.45.160 (talk) 05:17, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thin film transistor picture?

In the caption for the thin film transistor, the year is 1968. That laptop is not from 1968 and laptops were not common at that time. I do not know much about said monitor, but perhaps someone else does? Lekro (talk) 11:15, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The year is the year when the technology were invented. Not the photo example. Electron9 (talk) 02:14, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

merge this to the Display device page

There is no history section on the Display device page. I originally went there to find the history but to my surprise there was nothing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sfmth (talk • contribs) 14:44, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
