LCD screen's structure

liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat
panel display, electronic visual display, or video display that uses the light modulating
properties of liquid crystals. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly.

Friedrich reinitzer  Discovered the chemical  used in LCD screens.It was cholesteryl benzoate.Afterwards Otto Lehmann named this material as liquid crystal.


A liquid crystal cell consists of a thin layer (about 10 u m) of a liquid crystal sand­wiched between two glass sheets with transparent electrodes deposited on their inside faces. With both glass sheets transparent, the cell is known as transmittive type cell. When one glass is transparent and the other has a reflective coating, the cell is called reflective type.

The LCD does not produce any illumination of its own. It, in fact, depends entirely on illumination falling on it from an external source for its visual effect

Types of LCD/Liquid Crystal
Displays.

Two types of display available

1.Dynamic scattering display
2.  Field effect display
