➔ By passing polarized
light from the
surroundings or from
an internal light
source through a
liquid-crystal material
that can be aligned to
either block or
transmit the light.
Flat Panel Displays – Liquid Crystal Displays
➔ The term liquid crystal
refers to the fact that these
compounds have a
crystalline arrangement of
molecules, yet they flow
like a liquid.
➔ Flat-panel displays
commonly use nematic
(threadlike) liquid-crystal
compounds that tend to
keep the long axes of the
rod-shaped molecules
aligned.

➔ In a laser device, a laser beam creates a charge
distribution on a rotating drum coated with a
photoelectric material, such as selenium.
➔ Toner is applied to the drum and then
transferred to paper.
➔ Ink-jet
methods produce output by squirting ink in
horizontal rows across a roll of paper wrapped on
a drum.
