What is Liquid Crystal Display?  

Liquid Crystal Display is a type of display used in digital watches and many portable computers or It refers to a flat panel technology which uses liquid crystals sandwiched between two glass plates for example in laptop computers, other small portable displays and also in televisions. LCD displays utilize two sheets of polarizing material with a liquid crystal solution between them. An electric current passed through the liquid causes the crystals to align so that light cannot pass through them. Each crystal, therefore, is like a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking the light.

Monochrome LCD images usually appear as blue or dark gray images on top of a grayish-white background. Color LCD displays use two basic techniques for producing color: Passive matrix is the less expensive of the two technologies. The other technology, called thin film transistor (TFT) or active-matrix, produces color images that are as sharp as traditional CRT displays, but the technology is expensive. Recent passive-matrix displays using new CSTN and DSTN technologies produce sharp colors rivaling active-matrix displays.

Most LCD screens used in notebook computers are backlit, or transmissive, to make them easier to read.

LCD (liquid crystal display) is an electro-optical device that is used for displays in notebook and other smaller computers.
An LCD is made with either a passive matrix or an active matrix display display grid which allow displays to be much thinner than cathode ray tube (CRT) technology.

LCDs consume much less power than LED and gas-display displays because they work on the principle of blocking light rather than emitting it.

and this is a smaller screen which consist of small crystals which form image when electric current is supplied to them
