I understand the bit about liquid crystals and polarization of light. The question is how the screen is made. Is it full of a a matrix of tiny wires? How is it made so precisely?
Flat screen monitors are typically made using a process called liquid crystal display (LCD) technology. This involves creating a thin layer of liquid crystal material between two sheets of polarized glass, which allows for the manipulation of light to create images on the screen.
The main materials used in the production of flat screen monitors include liquid crystal, glass, thin-film transistors (TFTs), and color filters. These materials work together to create the display and allow for the control of images on the screen.
Manufacturers use a variety of quality control measures during the production of flat screen monitors. This can include testing the materials before assembly, performing quality checks during the manufacturing process, and conducting final inspections before the product is shipped.
LCD (liquid crystal display) and LED (light-emitting diode) are both types of flat screen monitors, but they use different technology to create images. LCD monitors use a backlight to illuminate the liquid crystal material, while LED monitors use individual LED lights to create the images. LED monitors are typically brighter and more energy-efficient than LCD monitors.
The production of flat screen monitors has evolved significantly since they were first introduced in the 1990s. Early models used cathode ray tubes (CRTs) and were bulky and heavy. With advancements in technology, LCD and LED monitors became more popular due to their slim and lightweight designs. Additionally, manufacturers have improved the resolution, color accuracy, and energy efficiency of flat screen monitors over time.
