Want to know how to make a LCD TV from scratch?

Is there any link which describes me about that.

Probably link has to describe what are the components that are involved, how to make the components, assembling the components, making it with good quality.

Please advise!

  1. The first step would be getting an electrical engineering degree... preferably a masters.  Then you probably need at least a year of spare time to devote to designing it and building it.  After that it would probably be advisable to go work for a company that designs and build LCD TVs for probably a minimum of 5 years.  As an design electrical engineer myself I can tell you that it would take a minimum of 5 years of design experience to learn just the common pitfalls you will encounter trying to design and build something of that magnitude from scratch.


  2. while you could assemble a TV from a kit, there is no way you can make the parts!

    ICs and transistors require a sophisticated factory that costs close to a billion dollars and has a large staff.

    Resistors and capacitors are not far different, as is the display, the PC boards and the RF components.

    And I don't know if any kits are still available.

    Other answers missed that avataar wants to make the parts also, presumably from sand and charcoal.

  3. (Apparently the previous answerer has never heard of Vizio.)

    LCD TV components are becoming commodities. You start with the panel and backlight, then add the controller and driver boards. Add a case a power supply to that and you're done. Sure, you could try making all the ICs yourself (let alone the panels); if you're Samsung, LG, Sharp or Sony, go for it. The rest of the world sources these things as solutions.

    The difficulty, if any, is the mechanical engineering in making a suitable enclosure and to make the thing pass EMI and safety.

    In fact LCD TVs are far easier to make than CRT TVs because they don't have the heavy picture tube and high voltage to deal with.

    Take a look at IC makers like Pixelworks, Genesis, Silicon Image, etc. to get a feel for the system elements involved. From there you can decide which problems you really want to tackle.
