An LCD display works by using a liquid crystal solution sandwiched between two layers of glass or plastic, with polarizing filters and electrodes added to control the passage of light. The liquid crystal molecules are aligned in a specific way, and when an electric current is applied, they twist, which allows or blocks the light passing through the LCD. The most common type of liquid crystal used in LCDs is twisted nematic. The advantages of LCDs include lower power consumption, larger screen size, and better resolution, but their main disadvantage is that they have a limited viewing angle, poor color reproduction and slow response time. Additionally, LCDs require a backlight to provide illumination for the display, and a color filter to produce the colors on the display. The polarizer is used to polarize light passing through the LCD. There are two main types of LCDs: passive matrix and active matrix. Passive matrix LCDs use a simple grid to address the pixels, while active matrix LCDs use a thin-film transistor to address each pixel individually, resulting in a faster response time and higher resolution. The typical viewing angle of an LCD is 60 degrees.
