	How liquid crystal display (lcd) is made - Background, Raw materials, The manufacturing process of liquid crystal ...
		The basis of LCD technology is the liquid crystal, a substance made of complicated molecules.
		In an LCD, an electric current is used to switch segments of liquid crystals from a transparent phase to a cloudy phase, each segment forming part of a number or letter.
		Most LCDs today also use a source of light coming from the rear of the display (backlight), such as a fluorescent light, to make the liquid crystal appear darker against the screen when in its cloudy phase.

	The First HP Liquid Crystal Display
		The display used in the HP-41C is a multiplexed, twisted nematic LCD with a twelve-character alphanumeric capacity.
		The ability of a display to perform at low temperature is usually limited by increasing viscosity and attendant slower on-off response, and not by freezing of the liquid.
		Liquid crystal fills the space between the plates, and the molecules are oriented with their directors in the plane of the substrate.

	Howstuffworks "How LCDs Work"
		We think of a crystal as a solid material like quartz, usually as hard as rock, and a liquid is obviously different.
		This means that liquid crystals are neither a solid nor a liquid.
		This explains why liquid crystals are very sensitive to temperature and why they are used to make thermometers and mood rings.

	Liquid crystal display
		A nit is a unit of luminance which is often used to quote the brightness of displays, which typically have luminances of 200 to 300 nits.
		In a colour LCD each pixel is divided into three sections, one with a red filter, one with a green filter and the other with a blue filter.
		LCDs with a small number of segments, such as those used in digital watches[?] and pocket calculators, are supplied with one electrical contact for each segment.

	Liquid crystal display - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Each pixel consists of a layer of liquid crystal molecules suspended between two transparent electrodes, and two polarizing filters, the axes of polarity of which are perpendicular to each other.
		When an electrical charge is applied to the electrodes, the molecules of the liquid crystal are pulled parallel to the electric field, thus reducing the rotation of the entering light.
		LCD displays generally have a lower contrast ratio than that on a plasma display or CRT.

	LCD
		Liquid crystals were observed as long ago as the 1850s, during experiments on human nerve fibres, where they were found in myelin - the nerve system's natural insulation system.
		In a normal liquid, molecules are randomly arranged; but the molecules of a warmed liquid crystal retain some of their original orderliness - just enough order for the liquid crystal to retain the optical properties of a solid.
		The phospholipids at this pressure retain enough liquid crystal structure at the ambient temperature to provide a strong cell membrane capable of withstanding the strain.But when the bacterium is brought to the surface, the pressure drop changes the critical temperature at which the liquid crystal cell walls can maintain their structure.

	Liquid crystal display television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Liquid crystal display television (LCD TV) is a television using LCD technology for its visual output.
		LCD technology is based on the properties of polarized light.
		First, the backlight of the LCD panel may be fired during a shorter period of time than the refresh period, preferably as short as possible, and preferably when the pixel has already settled to the intended brightness.

		Each pixel (picture element) consists of a column of liquid crystal molecules suspended between two transparent electrodes, and two polarizing filters, the axes of polarity of which are perpendicular to each other.
		When an electrical charge is applied to the electrodes, the molecules of the liquid crystal align themselves parallel to the electric field, thus limiting the rotation of entering light.
		In 1969, the twisted nematic field effect in liquid crystals was discovered by James Fergason at Kent State University, and in 1971 his company ILIXCO (now LXD Incorporated) produced the first LCDs based on it, which soon superseded the poor-quality DSM types.

		The heart of the liquid crystal display is a piece of liquid crystal material placed between a pair of transparent electrodes.
		The liquid crystal changes the phase of the light passing through it and this phase change can be controlled by the voltage applied between the electrodes.
		Liquid crystal displays are formed by integrating a number of such cells, or more usually, by using a single liquid crystal plate and a pattern of electrodes.

	Liquid crystal display patent invention
		Homeotropic alignment is a liquid crystal phase in which a voltage is applied to liquid crystal and all long axes of liquid crystalline molecules (hereinafter called "liquid crystal axes" are aligned along the direction of electric field.
		When an adequate voltage is applied to a liquid crystal layer in the planar state, the liquid crystal layer shows a focal conic state in which the liquid crystal layer aligns the spiral axis parallel to the substrate.
		Before a voltage applied, the liquid crystal is in the planar state and the reflectance is R.sub.P. A pulse voltage of, for example, 5 ms width is applied to liquid crystal cell 10 from power supply 9.

	Liquid crystal display patent invention (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		This type of display, known as the so-called actively driven display, is represented by a twisted nematic (TN) display which works on optical rotation of the liquid crystal molecules constituting the liquid crystal layer.
		It works on birefringence produced in the liquid crystal layer by its liquid crystal molecules rotating essentially in parallel to the substrate, where an electrical field generated by an inter-digital electrode provided on one of a pair of the substrates is designed to have a component running essentially in parallel to the substrate surface.
		This type of display has a significantly narrower margin for alignment treatment of a liquid crystal alignment layer than a conventional TN type, in particular a normally open type displaying bright images at a low voltage and dark images at a high voltage, which is now a prevailing type.

		LCD or LC Shutter glasses are liquid crystal lenses that block out the light on each eye respectively.
		The earliest digital displays were very crude, but when engineers wanted information as a number, as opposed to a needle position on a scale, they had to devise some way to display numeric digits.
		In such a liquid crystal display, either a plurality of the gate lines or a plurality of the drain lines are made of a Cr alloy containing at least one kind selected from a group consisting of Mo, Nb, Ta and W. Source:

	Liquid crystal display Summary
		This type of LCD can produce darker 'fls' than the transmissive type since light must pass through the liquid crystal layer twice and thus is attenuated twice, however because the reflected light is also attenuated twice in the translucent parts of the display image contrast is usually poorer than a transmissive display.
		LCD displays generally have a lower contrast ratio than that on a plasma display or CRT.
		LCDs have longer response time than their plasma and CRT counterparts, creating ghosting and mixing when images rapidly change; this drawback, however, is continually improving as the technology progresses and is impercetible in current LCD Computer Displays and TV's.

	Liquid Crystal Display -- LCD's
		By controlling the twist of the liquid crystals in each pixel, light can be allowed to pass though in varying amounts, correspondingly illuminating the pixel.
		This type of LCD has higher contrast than the transmissive type since light must pass through the liquid crystal layer twice and thus is attenuated twice.
		This type of display is called a passive matrix because the pixel must retain its state between refreshes without the benefit of a steady electrical charge.

	Liquid Crystal
		Liquid crystal is a fourth ``state'' that certain kinds of matter can enter into under the right conditions.
		In cholesteryl myristate, the latent heat for changing from a solid to the liquid crystal state is 65 calories per gram, whereas the latent heat for the liquid crystal to liquid transition is only 7 calories per gram.
		Liquid crystal behaves differently depending on what direction electric or magnetic fields are applied relative to the director.

	liquid-crystal display
		Display of numbers (for example, in a calculator) or pictures (such as on a pocket television screen) produced by molecules of a substance in a semi-liquid state with some crystalline properties, so that clusters of molecules align in parallel formations.
		The display is a blank until the application of an electric field, which ‘twists’ the molecules so that they reflect or transmit light falling on them.
		LCD manufacture has advanced significantly and LCDs are now used in making colour mobile phone displays, computer monitors, and television displays.

		Niopik and Switzerland's Hoffmann-LaRoche (itself a liquid crystal supplier) have a collaboration with Martin Schadt, a contributor to the world patent for TN displays (expired 1991) who is world famous for his structure-property expertise, the relationship between macroscopic properties of liquid crystals and molecular structure (Schadt 1993).
		The orientation of the liquid crystal optic axis at the substrate is determined by mechanically buffing the alignment layer.
		When a liquid crystal is sandwiched between glass slides that have been treated in this manner, its optic axis is perpendicular to the direction of the polarization used to arrange the chemical groups.
