  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]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator

    An electronic pocket calculator with a seven-segment liquid-crystal display (LCD) that can perform arithmetic operations A modern scientific calculator with an LCD. An electronic calculator is typically a portable electronic device used to perform calculations, ranging from basic arithmetic to complex mathematics.

    The same method can also be illustrated with a Venn diagram as follows, with the prime factorization of each of the two numbers demonstrated in each circle and all factors they share in common in the intersection. The lcm then can be found by multiplying all of the prime numbers in the diagram. Here is an example: 48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3,

  5. Active-matrix liquid-crystal display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active-matrix_liquid...

    Having supplanted passive-matrix LCDs in general use, in common vernacular, an active-matrix LCD is also simply referred to as a LCD. As of 2025, the term "AMLCD" is uncommon as a matter of technical jargon ; instead, due to their ubiquity, different types of active-matrix liquid crystal displays are usually specified — TFT LCD , IPS LCD ...

    In 2008, LCD TV shipments were up 33 percent year-on-year compared to 2007 to 105 million units. [10] In 2009, LCD TV shipments raised to 146 million units (69% from the total of 211 million TV shipments). [11] In 2010, LCD TV shipments reached 187.9 million units (from an estimated total of 247 million TV shipments). [12] [13]

  7. Multiplexed display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplexed_display

    The calculator took advantage of an effect of pulsed LED operation where very brief pulses of light are perceived as brighter than a longer pulse of light with the same time-integral of intensity. A keyboard matrix circuit has a very similar arrangement as a multiplexed display, and has many of the same advantages.

  8. Lowest common denominator - Wikipedia

    The LCD has many practical uses, such as determining the number of objects of two different lengths necessary to align them in a row which starts and ends at the same place, such as in brickwork, tiling, and tessellation. It is also useful in planning work schedules with employees with y days off every x days.

  9. Transflective liquid-crystal display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transflective_liquid...

    A transflective liquid-crystal display [1] is a liquid-crystal display (LCD) with an optical layer that reflects and transmits light (transflective is a portmanteau of transmissive and reflective). [2] Under bright illumination (e.g. when exposed to daylight) the display acts mainly as a reflective display with the contrast being constant with ...
