Q:What is a Liquid Crystal Display?

A:A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is an optical device that is commonly used to display ASCII characters and images on digital items such as watches, calculators, portable game consoles, etc. LCD is the technology used for displays in notebooks and other small computers. Like light-emitting diode and gas-plasma technologies, LCD allows displays to be much thinner than cathode ray tube (CRT) technology. LCD consumes much less power than LED and gas-displays because it works on the principle of blocking light rather than emitting it.

Q:How are LCDs made?

A:LCDs are created from two glass plates separated from each other at a distance of a few microns. The plates are filled with liquid crystal and then sealed together. The top plate is colored with an RGB pattern to make the color filter. Polarizers are then glued to both plates. This combination is sometimes called 'glass' or 'cell.' The LCD cell is assembled into a 'module' by adding the backlight, driver electronics and frame.
