Core Principles of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Technology
Liquid crystal is a unique state of matter that exhibits properties of both liquids (fluidity) and crystals (ordered molecular structure). In an LCD panel, liquid crystals "twist" to precisely control the transmission or blockage of light, thereby forming the images we see.
Analysis of Top 3 Mainstream Panel Types
TN (Twisted Nematic)
