Liquid Crystal Displays: Fundamental Physics and Technology

摘要

As a well-established, mature, high-performance technology, liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) have become an indispensable part of our lives. It is by far the largest display technology and is used in simple devices such as watches, calculators, clocks, handheld games, and medical and retail monitors to complex applications such as mobile phones, laptops, desktops, TVs, medical imaging, digital signage, avionics, and military equipment.
