2. liquid-crystal display (LCD)
A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat panel display or other electronically
modulated optical device that uses the light-modulating properties of liquid
crystal combined with polarizers.
LCDs are available to display arbitrary images (as in a general-purpose
computer display) or fixed images with low information content, which can be
displayed or hidden
3. Types of LCD
Direct address display
Passive matrix display
Active matrix display
4. Advantages LCD
1) Energy Efficient
LCDs are known for their energy-efficient properties. They still require power to
illuminate their respective pixels, but LCDs consume less power than non-LCD
devices.
2) Long-Lasting
Another advantage of LCDs is their ability to last for a very long time. LCDs typically
don’t last forever, but they have a longer lifespan than that of other display devices.
5. Advantages LCD
LED Backlighting
LCDs support backlighting with light-emitting diode (LED). LED, in fact, is the most
common type of backlighting used in their construction.
No Screen Burn-In
You don’t have to worry about screen burn-in with LCDs. Screen burn-in is a
phenomenon that only occurs in display devices with phosphor-based pixels.
6. Disadvantages of LCD
Slightly more expensive than CRT
Can't act as a portal to another dimension
Suffer from a motion blur effect
High refresh rate
Like the backlight ages, it can change colors slightly
The aspect ratio and resolution are fixed
Not proficient at producing black or very dark grays colors
7. Liquid crystal
A liquid crystal is a state of matter between liquid and solid (a "mesophase"). They
change shape like a fluid but have the molecular alignment characteristics of a
solid crystal.
Liquid crystals are composed of organic, rod-shaped molecules that align in
parallel, and the common types used in electronic displays are nematic,
cholesteric and smectic.
8. How its work?
iquid-crystal display (LCD) is a popular type of technology used in electronic
displays. As the name suggests, it’s characterized by the use of liquid-filled
crystals to produce images.
Because liquid crystals have light-modulating properties, LCDs are particularly
effective for this purpose. The liquid crystals don’t necessarily produce the light
used to create the images
