Check the label. If it is marked "Class II", "Class IIIa", "Class 2" or "Class 3R", it is safe. All of those have power less than 5 milliwatts. The "Class II/Class 2" pointers are the safest--they are limited to 1 milliwatt. Do not use blue or green laser pointers as toys, even if they are rated Class 3R.

What type of laser pointer works on an lcd?

A laser pointer that operates on an LCD typically uses a red laser, as LCD screens are sensitive to certain wavelengths of light. Red lasers, usually around 630-670 nm, are less likely to cause damage or interfere with the display compared to other colors. It's important to ensure that the laser pointer is used at a safe distance to avoid potential harm to the eyes or the screen itself. Always follow safety guidelines when using a laser pointer around electronic devices.
