Liquid-crystal display

A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat-panel display or other electronically modulated optical device that uses the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly, instead using a backlight or reflector to produce images in color or monochrome.

Liquid crystals do not emit light directly, instead using a backlight or reflector to produce images in color or monochrome. LCDs are used in a wide range of applications, including computer monitors, televisions, mobile phones, and aircraft instrumentation. They are known for their low power consumption, thin profile, high-resolution capabilities, and ability to display sharp images even in bright ambient light conditions. This Wikipedia page provides a comprehensive overview of LCD technology, including its history, different types of LCDs, how they work, manufacturing processes, and advantages and limitations. It also covers related topics such as LCD pixel structure, response time, color reproduction, and potential future developments.
