LCD is abbreviated for liquid crystal display and this LCD technology provides low power requirements and less weight. LCD screens can also be used as computer monitors. Each pixel in LCD displays emits intensity light for a period of 20ms, and it typically takes 12-25ms to switch to the next stage.

The response time can be shortened by using the excessive driving technique and panel design. They also act as a good component for playing video games. Older LCD models had a ghosting problem and manufacturers shortened the response time to 2 ms for computer monitors and 8 ms for LCD screens.

This technology is based on the function of polarized light. Two thin laminated polarized sheets are attached to glass which has a very thin layer of liquid crystal. It has 2 regular dimensional grids of electrodes, allowing each pixel in an array to be individually activated and selected.

LCD technology is used in large screen TVs with active matrix addressing in combination. Earlier LCD models were low end technology compared to big screen plasma TVs. But now, LCD TVs can provide high-level performance.

Currently, the sixth generation panels are presented by such brand manufacturers as Sharp Corporation, LG display, Sony and Samsung. The 65-inch panel was first introduced by Sharp in 2004. Samsung then introduced the 82-inch panel in 2005, LG Electronics’ 100-inch panel in 2006, and Sharp’s 108-inch panel in 2007.

The HD LCD TV was introduced by Silicon Mountain as the Allio in 2008 and is integrated with a Blu-ray player. In the future, manufacturers have announced many dollar investment plans for LCD production. So these LCD TVs will definitely be a key product in the market.
