By producing screens using LCD monitor technology, the backlight of the monitor is used to output a color image so that light is generated at the back of the LCD monitors. It is necessary to be able to have a picture with good quality, even if it is dark. The color is obtained using three filters, which distinguish three principal components from the radiation of a white light source.
By combining the three primary colors for each pixel of the screen, you can reproduce any color. Modern LCD screens are also called flat panels, dual scan active matrix, and thin-film transistors. Now they are extremely popular - everyone likes their elegant look, thinness, compactness, and efficiency.
LCD monitors provide a quality contrast, and bright, clear images. In the past, liquid crystal technology was slow, not as efficient as now, and their contrast level was low. Since LCD technology orients each pixel separately, the clarity of the received text is higher in comparison with CRT monitors, which in the past could compete with LCD ones.
Now, of course, with the development of technology and taking into account the overall technological process, liquid crystal monitors have long been ahead and occupy a leading position among the displays used for various applications.
The actual liquid crystal display is made of several layers, including a polarized filter and electrodes. When the backlight is activated, it produces light that is somewhat obstructed by the liquid crystals.
And this obstruction is essentially what creates the images we see in LCD displays. Of course, a backlight is an essential component of an LCD display. You probably own one or more devices with an LCD display screen at home and at work.
This includes your TV, computer monitor, watches, clocks, smartphones, and even calculators. But have you ever wondered about how your LCD screen works, its lifespan, components, and how it holds up to other emerging display technologies today? Knowing all these things about your LCD display lets you appreciate your screen all the more. Without further ado, here are the basic things you need to know about LCD display. The screen is embedded with liquid crystals, a substance that has properties in between a conventional liquid and a solid crystal.
Liquid crystals can flow, but their molecules carry a crystal-like solid orientation. Liquid crystals are responsible for producing an image flashed onto the LCD screen. Backlights are used to illuminate these crystals.
A display screen is made up of several tiny color blocks called pixels. A screen is typically made up of millions of pixels. Every pixel on the display screen is made up of red, blue, and green light. These lights can be quickly turned on or off to create an overall moving picture or image. Now, in LCD displays, pixels are regulated by using liquid crystals for rotating polarized light. Polarized light denotes light waves with vibrations occurring in a single plane.
In LCDs, this is achieved by using polarized layers. Each pixel has polarizing filters on both its front and back. Tiny nematic twisted liquid crystals are placed in between these filters.
The liquid crystals can be switched on or off electronically through tiny electronic transistors. When the liquid crystal is turned off, electricity controlled by the transistor stops flowing. The pixel is then turned on, brightening up due to the degree twisting of the nematic liquid crystal. This allows light to pass through both polarizing filters on the pixel, illuminating the pixel by letting light pass through. When the liquid crystal is turned on, electricity flows through the nematic liquid crystals.
They completely straighten out from their twisted state. The polarizing filter in front of the liquid crystal blocks out the light, resulting in the pixel turning off and becoming dark. A single LCD contains millions of pixels, nematic liquid crystals, polarizing filters, and transistors. They all work together to create images on the screen.
LCD display lifespan depends on several factors such as:. Most LCD monitors have a lifespan ranging from 30, to 60, hours. That's equivalent to years using the monitor for 24 hours per day.
