This document provides an overview of flat panel displays. It discusses the main types, which are emissive displays like plasma and LED, and non-emissive displays like LCD. LCD is the most common type and works by controlling the orientation of liquid crystals. Flat panel displays are thinner, lighter, and use less power than older CRT displays. They are widely used in devices like laptops, TVs, phones, cameras, and more due to their advantages of size and efficiency compared to older technologies. However, they can be more fragile and expensive than other options.
