The Liquified Crystal Display ( LCD ) is a flat panel display, electronic visual or video display that uses the light modulating properties of liquid crystals which do not emits the light directly. LCDs are used in televisions, computer monitors the instrument panels and the aircraft cockpit displays and the signage.
Nowadays LCDs are most commonly used in DVD players, the gaming devices, the clocks, the watches, the calculators, the telephones replaced by Cathode Ray Tube ( CRT ) in most of the applications. LCDs are available in a wider range of screen sizes compare to CRT display and a Plasma display, also they don't use phosphors, and don't suffer image burn-in. Following characteristics of LCD posses certain advantages and because of the latest innovation it also posses some disadvantages too. In this article, you can check it out the advantages and disadvantages briefly.
