LCD - Liquid Crystal Display
LCD refers to a display technology used commonly in notebooks and PDAs, LCD technology has been around for years, it was first suggested in 1963 by George heilmeier & co at RCA's laboratory in Princeton, New Jersey.
A Liquid Crystal Display works by having two layers of polarised material with liquid crystal in between, when an electrical current is applied to the liquid crystal molecules they become scattered allowing light to pass through.
Modern LCD displays use either passive or active (TFT) matrixes, the later producing a sharper image but at a higher cost.
