liquid-crystal display

Also known as LCD screen, LCD panel, liquid crystal display

display that uses the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals

AI overview

A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a screen that controls light by using special materials called liquid crystals that can change how they interact with light. This technology matters because it enables thin, energy-efficient screens used in everything from televisions and computer monitors to smartphones and digital watches.

A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat-panel display or other electronically modulated optical device that uses the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers to display information. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly but instead use a backlight or reflector to produce images in color or monochrome.
