Working of LCD
• The LCD is defined as the diode that uses small cells and
the ionised gases for the production of images.
• The LCD works on the modulating property of
light. The light modulation is the technique of sending
and receiving the signal through the light.
• The liquid crystal consumes a small amount of energy
because they are the reflector and the transmitter of
light. It is normally used for seven segmental display.
Working of LCD
1. Dynamic Scattering
• When the potential carrier flows through the light, the
molecular alignment of the liquid crystal disrupts, and
they produce disturbances.
• The liquid becomes transparent when they are not active.
But when they are active their molecules turbulence
causes scattered of light in all directions, and their cell
appears bright.
• This type of scattering is known as the dynamic
scattering.

2. Field Effect Type
• The construction of liquid crystals is similar to that of the
dynamic scattering types the only difference is that in
field effect type LCD the two thin polarising optical fibres
are placed inside the each glass sheet.
• The liquid crystals used in field effect LCDs are of
different scattering types that operated in the dynamic
scattering cell.
Working of LCD
• The field affects type LCD uses the nematic material which
twisted the unenergised light passing through the cell.
• The nematic type material means the liquid crystals in which
the molecules are arranged in parallel but not in a well-
defined plane.
• The light after passing through the nematic material passing
through the optical filters and appears bright.
• When the cell has energised no twisting of light occurs, and
the cell appears dull.

LCD
• liquid Crystal Display module shown in above figure is made up
of “2 layers”. It contains a layer of “LC(Liquid Crystal) Material”.
LC material is one through which Light passes, supplied by the
Back light.
• And White light from the back light place 2nd from the bottom
in figure passes through the LCD panel which generally operates
passage of light to form the Images projected on to the Mail
Front of the LCD panel screen.
Advantages of LCDs
• Power Consumption and Radiation Emission
– Consume less energy and more durable
• A typical CRT losses approximately 50% of its brightness after
10,000 hours. An LCD bulb will maintain its brightness
anywhere from 25,000 to 50,000 hours.
• LCD consumes fewer watts than a CRT. LCD will use an
average 30 watts compared to 120 watts for the CRT.
• Can reduce electric bill by 40-85%.
• Uses a combination of fluorescent-based backlight, color
filters, transistors, and liquid crystal to create and illuminate
images. It blocks light rather emit light
Advantages of LCDs
• Viewing
– Cause less eyestrain
– Does not flicker or glare
– Less power consumption
Disadvantages of LCDs
• Resolution
• Displays Native Resolutions (Resolution that it
displays best)
• Viewing Angle
• Smaller, needed to be viewed more directly from
the front.
• From the side the images on an LCD screen can
seem to disappear, or invert colors.
• Newer displays that are coming out have a wider
viewing angle so this is not as much of an issue as it
has been in the past.
Disadvantages of LCDs
• Price
– Upfront cost it is more costly but long-term cost but
will conserve energy in the long run.
– The energy savings may not be much for an individual
use, but for a corporate office where 50 displays or
more are in use, the energy savings might be more of
an issue.
Disadvantages of LCDs
• Installation
– Need a plug interface to connect to the computer.
– Some require a special digital plug-interface in order
to work .
– Problem: is that this plug is not available on most
computers, so another video card or adapter must be
purchased to plug these LCD monitors into the
computer.
Disadvantages of LCDs
• Response Time
– It is much slower. The delay can cause a ghosting
effect on images it displays.
LED
• Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are the most widely
used semiconductor diodes among all the different types
of semiconductor diodes available today.
• Light emitting diodes emit either visible light or
invisible infrared light when forward biased.
• The LEDs which emit invisible infrared light are used for
remote controls.
LED
• A light Emitting Diode (LED) is an optical semiconductor
device that emits light when voltage is applied.
• In other words, LED is an optical semiconductor device that
converts electrical energy into light energy.
• When Light Emitting Diode (LED) is forward biased, free
electrons in the conduction band recombines with the hole in
the valence band and releases energy in the form of light.
• The process of emitting light in response to the strong electric
field or flow of electric current is called electroluminescence.
Layers of LED
• A Light Emitting Diode (LED) consists of three layers: p-type
semiconductor, n-type semiconductor and depletion layer.
• The p-type semiconductor and the n-type semiconductor are
separated by a depletion region or depletion layer.
P-type semiconductor
• When trivalent impurities are added to the intrinsic or pure
semiconductor, a p-type semiconductor is formed.
N-type semiconductor
• When pentavalent impurities are added to the intrinsic
semiconductor, an n-type semiconductor is formed.
OLED
• The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is referred to as
the organic LED, which is similar to a regular LED, except the
fact that it is made up of semiconductor material which is
organic.
• This organic material is placed between the two
electrodes, and it emits light when a flow of current is made
to pass through the entire volume.
• This active material is comparatively thinner than a regular
LED. The users can expect various new and unique display
technologies that use OLED for these retail applications.
