  2. Twisted nematic field effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 and used low operating voltages suitable for use with batteries.

  3. STN display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STN_display

    A STN (super-twisted nematic) display is a type of liquid-crystal display (LCD). An LCD is a flat-panel display that uses liquid crystals to change its properties when exposed to an electric field, which can be used to create images. This change is called the twisted nematic (TN) field effect. Earlier TN displays twisted the liquid crystal ...

  4. LCD classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD_classification

    twisted nematic field effect: dynamic scattering mode, DMS: Visual information can be generated by the processes of absorption (either by dichroic dyes in the LC or by external dichroic polarizers), scattering, index matching (e.g. holographic PDLCs).

  5. History of display technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_display_technology

    CRTs were the single most popular display technology used in television sets and computer monitors for over half a century; it was not until the 2000s that LCDs began to gradually replace them. A derivative of CRTs were storage tubes , which had the ability to retain information displayed on them, unlike standard CRTs which need to be refreshed ...

  6. Large-screen television technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large-screen_television...

    Twisted nematic liquid crystals are naturally twisted, and are commonly used for LCDs because they react predictably to temperature variation and electric current. When the liquid crystal material is in its natural state, light passing through the first filter will be rotated (in terms of polarity) by the twisted molecule structure, which ...

  7. IPS panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPS_panel

    The twisted nematic LC layer rotates the polarization axis of the passing light by 90 degrees, so that ideally no light passes through polarizer A. In the ON state, a sufficient voltage is applied between electrodes and a corresponding electric field E is generated that realigns the LC molecules as shown on the right of the diagram. Here, light ...

    Astronomers on Wednesday announced that they have detected a strong and organized magnetic field twisted in a spiral pattern around the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, revealing previously ...

  9. TFT LCD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD

    The twisted nematic (TN) display is one of the oldest and frequently cheapest kind of liquid crystal display technologies. TN displays have fast pixel response times and less smearing than other types of LCDs like IPS displays , but suffer from poor color reproduction and limited viewing angles, especially in the vertical direction.
