2. Liquid-crystal display - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 to display information. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly [1] but instead use a backlight or reflector to produce images in color or monochrome. [2]

3. LCD classification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD_classification

   Liquid crystals can be aligned by both magnetic and electric fields. The strength of the required magnetic field is too high to be feasible for display applications. One electro-optical effect with LCs requires a current through the LC-cell; all other practiced electro-optical effects only require an electric field (without current) for ...

   Structure of liquid crystal display: 1 – vertical polarization filter, 2, 4 – glass with electrodes, 3 – liquid crystals, 5 – horizontal polarization filter, 6 – reflector "Wikipedia" displayed on an LCD. Liquid crystals find wide use in liquid crystal displays, which rely on the optical properties of certain liquid crystalline ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin-Tson_Wu

   Wu's contributions to liquid-crystal research and the resulting patent portfolio for next-generation liquid crystal displays (LCDs), adaptive optics, laser-beam steering, and new photonic materials, have had a major impact on display science and technology worldwide.

6. Liquid crystal on silicon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_crystal_on_silicon

   The liquid crystal layer controls the polarization of light that passes through it, while the reflective layer reflects the light back towards the optical system. The silicon substrate is used to control the individual pixels and provides the necessary electronics to drive the LCos panel.

7. TFT LCD - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD

   The twisted nematic (TN) display is one of the oldest and frequently cheapest kind of liquid crystal display technologies. TN displays have fast pixel response times and less smearing than other types of LCDs like IPS displays, but suffer from poor color reproduction and limited viewing angles, especially in the vertical direction. When viewed ...
