  2. Transflective liquid-crystal display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transflective_liquid...

    A transflective liquid-crystal display [1] is a liquid-crystal display (LCD) with an optical layer that reflects and transmits light (transflective is a portmanteau of transmissive and reflective). [2] Under bright illumination (e.g. when exposed to daylight) the display acts mainly as a reflective display with the contrast being constant with ...

  3. Potting (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potting_(electronics)

    A small transformer potted in epoxy. The surface visible on the right is formed by the potting compound that has been poured into the plastic box. In electronics, potting is the process of filling a complete electronic assembly with a solid or gelatinous compound.

  4. Liquid-crystal display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-crystal_display

    Some LCD panels have native fiber-optic inputs in addition to DVI and HDMI. [155] Many LCD monitors are powered by a 12 V power supply, and if built into a computer can be powered by its 12 V power supply. Can be made with very narrow frame borders, allowing multiple LCD screens to be arrayed side by side to make up what looks like one big screen.

  5. Flat-panel display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-panel_display

    An LCD screen used as an information display for travellers. Field-effect LCDs are lightweight, compact, portable, cheap, more reliable, and easier on the eyes than CRT screens. LCD screens use a thin layer of liquid crystal, a liquid that exhibits crystalline properties. It is sandwiched between two glass plates carrying transparent electrodes.

The enclosure that contains most of the components of a computer, usually excluding the display, keyboard, mouse, and various other peripherals. computer fan An active cooling system forcing airflow inside or around a computer case using a fan to cause air cooling.

  7. Optical bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_bonding

    Optical bonding refers to a protective glass that is glued in front of a display to enhance its readability where installed in high humidity outdoor environments. When a normal display is used in an outdoor environment, there are some factors that affect its readability.

  8. Housing (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_(engineering)

    A transparent plastic housing around an electronic device. In engineering, a housing or enclosure is a container, a protective exterior (e.g. shell) or an enclosing structural element (e.g. chassis or exoskeleton) designed to enable easier handling, provide attachment points for internal mechanisms (e.g. mounting brackets for electrical components, cables and pipings), maintain cleanliness of ...

  9. Twisted nematic field effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_nematic_field_effect

    Clock with an early LCD prototype based on the twisted nematic field-effect. The twisted nematic effect (TN-effect) was a major technological breakthrough that made the manufacture of large, thin liquid crystal displays practical and cost competitive. Unlike earlier flat-panel displays, TN-cells did not require a current to flow for operation ...
