These days, liquid crystal displays are used to display data in digital watches. They are also use in pocket calculators and portable computers. 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.
