LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) technology works by manipulating light through liquid crystals to create visible images. It’s widely used in medical, consumer, and industrial displays. Here's a clear breakdown of how LCD technology works:

 Basic Structure of an LCD Display

An LCD screen is made up of several layers:

Backlight (usually LED) – Provides the light source.

Polarizing Filters – Two filters (front and back) that control light orientation.

Liquid Crystal Layer – The active layer that twists light when electric current is applied.

Glass Substrates – Contain the electrodes (typically Thin-Film Transistors, or TFTs).

Color Filters – Red, green, and blue filters for full-color output.

 How It Works – Step by Step

Backlight shines through the layers from the rear.

Light passes through the first polarizer, aligning it in one direction.

Electric current is applied to specific pixels via TFTs, causing the liquid crystals to twist or untwist.

The twisting liquid crystals control how much light passes through to the next layer.

The light goes through color filters (RGB) to produce different colors.

The final light output passes through the second polarizer, reaching the viewer’s eye.

 Key Concepts

Liquid Crystals don’t emit light – they just control the light passing through them.

Twisting effect: Without current, the crystals twist the light to pass through; with current, they block it.

Active Matrix (TFT-LCD): Each pixel is controlled individually by a transistor, allowing fast, precise control (important for high-res medical imaging).
