Abstract

This chapter overviews recycling and reuse measures and methods employed to tackle growing concerns associated with potentially large volumes of end of life (EOL) thinfilm transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs) entering an ever-increasing electronic waste stream. TFT-LCD recycling is contextualized within the remit of sustainability, electronic waste (e-waste) and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), LCD market trends, the nature and potential volumes of LCD waste, and global legislation. Active or smart disassembly or eco-design for disassembly is discussed.
