  2. Liquid-crystal display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-crystal_display

    An LCD screen used as a notification panel for travellers. Each pixel of an LCD typically consists of a layer of molecules aligned between two transparent electrodes, often made of indium tin oxide (ITO) and two polarizing filters (parallel and perpendicular polarizers), the axes of transmission of which are (in most of the cases) perpendicular to each other.

    In 2008, LCD TV shipments were up 33 percent year-on-year compared to 2007 to 105 million units. [10] In 2009, LCD TV shipments raised to 146 million units (69% from the total of 211 million TV shipments). [11] In 2010, LCD TV shipments reached 187.9 million units (from an estimated total of 247 million TV shipments). [12] [13]

  4. Liquid-crystal polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-crystal_polymer

    Molecular structure of Kevlar Molecular structure of the LCP Vectran [5]. Liquid crystallinity in polymers may occur either by dissolving a polymer in a solvent (lyotropic liquid-crystal polymers) or by heating a polymer above its glass or melting transition point (thermotropic liquid-crystal polymers). [6]

  5. LCD classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD_classification

    The operation of TN, VA and IPS-LCDs can be summarized as follows: a well aligned LC configuration is deformed by an applied electric field, this deformation changes the orientation of the local LC optical axis with respect to the direction of light propagation through the LC layer,

  6. Quantum dot display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_dot_display

    A widespread practical application is using quantum dot enhancement film (QDEF) layer to improve the LED backlighting in LCD TVs.Light from a blue LED backlight is converted by QDs to relatively pure red and green, so that this combination of blue, green and red light incurs less blue-green crosstalk and light absorption in the color filters after the LCD screen, thereby increasing useful ...

    Head to any store that sells TVs, and you're likely to see a lot of LCD and LED TVs. But what. Buying a flat-screen TV can be daunting -- not only do you have settle on a brand and screen size ...

  8. Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

    Such problems inhibit industrial use. Multicolor LEDs without phosphors cannot provide good color rendering because each LED is a narrowband source. LEDs without phosphor, while a poorer solution for general lighting, are the best solution for displays, either backlight of LCD, or direct LED based pixels.

  9. IUPAC numerical multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_numerical_multiplier

    The numbers 200-900 would be confused easily with 22 to 29 if they were used in chemistry. khīlioi = 1000, diskhīlioi = 2000, triskhīlioi = 3000, etc. 13 to 19 are formed by starting with the Greek word for the number of ones, followed by και (the Greek word for 'and'), followed by δέκα (the Greek word for 'ten').
