The document discusses trends in medical displays, including the evolution from film-based to digital imaging displays. It outlines different types of medical displays like embedded, referral, and diagnostic displays. Active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs) are becoming the dominant technology for medical displays due to improved resolution, viewing angles, and ability to meet DICOM grayscale standards. Future trends include higher resolution color displays, larger displays, and 3D stereo displays which can improve diagnosis.
