What is LCD?

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is a flat-panel display technology commonly used in televisions, computer monitors, mobile devices, and various electronic devices. LCDs work by modulating light using liquid crystals, which are substances that can flow like a liquid but have some properties of a solid. An LCD typically consists of a backlight, two polarizing filters, electrodes, and liquid crystal material. By applying an electric field to the liquid crystals, their orientation can be changed, controlling the amount of light that passes through to create images. They are popular for their relatively low power consumption, thin profile, and good image quality.
