LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

Created by sandwiching an electrically reactive substance between two electrodes, LCDs can be darkened or lightened by applying and removing current. Large numbers of LCDs grouped closely together can act as pixels in a flat-panel display.

A panel on which tiny spots become transparent or opaque in response to electronic signals and which, given enough of such spots arranged in a pixel grid, can be used as a video display or in a video projector.
