A display technology common in portable computers that uses electric current to align crystals in a special liquid. The rod-shaped crystals are contained between two parallel transparent electrodes, and when current is applied, they change their orientation, creating a darker area. Many LCD screens are also back-lit or side-lit to increase visibility and reduce the possibility of eyestrain.
This a display using a liquid crystal sealed between two glass plates.
A display technology common in digital cameras that increases visibility and reduces eyestrain.
A type of digital display made of a material that changes reflectance or transmittance when an electrical field is applied to it.
Another name for a TFT flat panel.
Electronic system for displaying information in digital form, using modulated available light.
LCD) A screen-display technology that uses optically active organic materials to selectively reflect light under electronic control.
A visual display medium in which graphic images are formed using pixels of liquid crystal, which became opaque, and thus visible, when electric current is applied.
FPD that uses the polarization properties of LC to act as a light value on a backlight to modulate illumination and generate images
A low power display - frequently used in Laptops
An LCD television or monitor uses liquid crystals that act as "shutters" within the television screen. An LCD television has thousands of small light sources at the rear of the display. A layer of cells containing the liquid crystals is placed between the light sources and the display screen. When the liquid crystal cells are electrified with current, the crystals align and block any light from shining through, or the crystals scatter allowing the light to shine through to the screen. LCD monitors typically only display video signals in a progressive scan format. LCD monitors do not use phosphors and are not susceptible to screen burn.
a reflective display used in digital systems for the presentation of output; characterised by a very low power consumption
a digital display that uses liquid crystal cells that change reflectivity in an applied electric field; used for portable computer displays and watches etc.
a display device that controls the molecular arrangement of liquid crystals by this voltage to alter the degree of polarization of transmitted light, and combined with polarizing plates, to vary the transmission rate of the light
a flat sheet composed of regions that can selectively block or transmit light based on electrical signals

An indicator consisting of a sandwich of glass containing electrodes and a polarized fluid. Voltage applied to the fluid allows light to pass through it.
A digital watch display that shows the time electronically by means of a liquid held in a thin layer between two transparent plates. All LCD watches have quartz movements.
A type of display wherein a voltage potential is applied to electrodes that surround a special type of liquid the optical transmission of which changes from transparent to opaque depending on the voltage applied to the electrodes. The advantage of this type of display over others is that it requires very little electrical power to operate such that it results in very little drain on the battery of portable equipment.
Liquid crystal display is one of the two technologies behind flat-panel displays, with the other being plasma technology. LCDs use two sheets of polarized material with a liquid crystal solution between them. As electricity is passed through the liquid, it causes the particles to align so that light cannot pass between them. Each crystal particle acts like a shutter, either allowing the passage of light or blocking it in order to form the image.
refers to a display which uses liquid crystals with optical polarization properties that can be altered by an applied electric field. The liquid crystal materials absorb or transmit light depending on the polarization, and thus function as "light valves." In an active matrix liquid crystal display ("AMLCD"), each valve is individually controlled.
A "thin" display that does not use much power. Laptop and notebook computers use LCD displays. LCD displays are found on many electronic devices including remote controls, calculators and digital thermometers.
A flat-panel screen used to display numbers and/or characters. Often found on a wireless handset.
(LCD). A screen for displaying text/graphics based on a technology called liquid crystal, where minute currents change the reflectiveness or transparency of the screen. The advantages of LCD screens are very small power consumption (can be easily battery driven) and low price of mass-produced units. The disadvantages are narrow viewing angle, slow response (a bit too slow to be used for video), invisibility in the dark unless the display is back lighted, and difficulties displaying true colors with color LCD displays.
A very low-power device capable of displaying characters, words and symbols, often built into a codec or videoconferencing room control panel.
A display panel that sits on top of the projector stage which creates an image that is generated by a computer.
Displays numbers dialled. Also displays the numbers and names stored in the memory, clock, calculator and other visible information.
LCD front and rear projection televisions use LCD panels to create images, which are then enlarged to fill the screen. An LCD projector produces rich, vibrant colors and sharp contrast to produce a large, high quality picture.
Is on the control panel where it displays various messages, such as date ,time, phone number, etc.
An alphanumeric display formed by a layer of liquid crystal material sandwiched between two sheets of glass; a transparent conductive coating on the glass is etched to form the character segments. An applied voltage causes the appropriate segments to darken as the molecules in the liquid crystal change their arrangement.
A display circuit characterized by a liquid crystal element sandwiched between two glass panels. Characters are produced by applying an electric field to liquid crystal molecules and arranging them to act as light filters.
A display device with a liquid crystal sealed between two glass plates.
A type of display device that can be made very small and to consume only a small amount of power. They are used in Walkmans and Discmans to provide readouts for digital radio tuners, track time displays etc. Further development led to an LCD that could show a colour television picture, this was used in the GV-S50E Video Walkman.

LCD is a popular technology used in flat panel display systems. LCD is used often in portable computers and for some video projectors.
(LCD) - Computer driven alphanumeric display used on some telephones to display dialed numbers and other dialing instructions and information.
Display devices make good use of the characteristics of liquid crystal. The narrow gap between two thin sheets of glass is filled with liquid crystal, and when voltage is applied to the electrodes installed on the inside surface of the glass substrate the polarity of the liquid crystal molecules changes. This, in turn, changes the transparency of the liquid crystal. The display panel is divided into tiny regions called pixels, and the transparency of each pixel in individually controlled to display letters or images. Liquid crystal does not emit light, so the light source for the display is either incoming light reflected by the LCD panel, or a backlight mounted behind the liquid crystal. LCD displays are generally classified as either simple matrix LCD (STN, etc.) or active matrix LCD (TFT, etc.), depending on how current to the display is controlled, and the type of display required depends upon the application.
Digital display that uses very little power and has high contrast.

A type of display that uses liquid crystals or chemicals to respond to polarised light and electrical signals. A notebook computer has a LCD screen.
A two-dimensional array of small crystals that are normally opaque, but become transparent when voltage is applied to them. LCDs are often back-lit for viewing in a dark room.
Monitor on back of a digital camera that shows 100% of the view through the camera lens. Like a viewfinder, it can be used to preview a scene before taking a photo. The LCD also displays camera settings and can be used to review photos and videos saved to a memory card.
A type of display used in digital watches and many portable computers. LCD displays utilize two sheets of polarizing material with a liquid crystal solution between them. An electric current passed through the liquid causes the crystals to align so that light cannot pass through them. Each crystal, therefore, is like a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking the light.
thin flat screen used in portable computers, digital cameras and watches where space is at a premium.
n. A type of display that uses a liquid compound having a polar molecular structure, sandwiched between two transparent electrodes. When an electric field is applied, the molecules align with the field, forming a crystalline arrangement that polarizes the light passing through it. A polarized filter laminated over the electrodes blocks polarized light. In this way, a grid of electrodes can selectively "turn on" a cell, or a pixel, containing the liquid crystal material, turning it dark. In some types of liquid crystal displays, an electroluminescent panel is placed behind the screen to illuminate it. Other types of liquid crystal displays are capable of reproducing color. Acronym: LCD.
The LCD is applied for clearer display of several functions. The voice level indicator helps you determine the right sensitivity level and appropriate positioning of your microphone by indicating your voice level in three positions. The LCD is also used for the battery consumption indicator, power and interval marker displays.
A liquid crystal display (LCD) is a thin, flat display device made up of any number of color or monochrome pixels arrayed in front of a light source or reflector. It is prized by engineers because it uses very small amounts of electric power, and is therefore suitable for use in battery-powered electronic devices.
Liquid Crystal Display is a psychedelic indie rock band that formed in Bloomington, IN USA in 2001 by members Sean Benham and Scott Evans while Sean was living in Bloomington, IN and had moved temporarily from Chicago. Original idea of the band was to record a track for a local compilation CD, but although the track did not make it on the CD, they picked up drummer Ned Baugh and recorded their first self-titled EP in February 2002. A follow up EP titled Bionic Bigfoot was released in August 2002 just before Sean moved to Providence, RI.
