they can rotate polarization of light causing filters to block or pass it under electrical control. they consume almost no power doing this.

How do liquids and liquid crystals differ?
Liquid crystals are certain long chain organic chemicals that, although liquid they have a strong tendency to align in "crystal like" arrays. Normal liquids have no (or very little) order, liquid crystals have order approaching that of solid crystals. Liquid crystals are useful in electronics (displays), temperature sensing (indicators), and other technologies because application of various stresses (e.g. electric field, heat) cause them to change their "crystal" properties in ways that solid crystals can't. These changes can then usually be made visible.
Why was LCD invented?
LCD, or the liquid crystal display, weren't "invented" for use in televisions. Televisions are just one application of liquid crystals. The properties of liquid crystals were noted many years ago. When a voltage is applied to a liquid crystal molecule, it moves, or rotates. This property can be used to affect light transmission through a transparent medium. A liquid crystal display is just an application of this phenomenon. The earliest application I know of was the production of low powered numerical displays used as an alternative to LED seven segment displays. Think of the handheld calculator. It typically uses an LCD. The picture superiority of LCD televisions over CRT is debatable. I own a widescreen CRT television, and I am amazed at how superior it is to typical consumer level LCD or plasma displays in terms of colour accuracy, black levels and contrast. But it sure has its drawbacks: limited size, hernia producing weight and higher power consumption than LCD panels, for example. Plasma displays suck more power than either LCD or CRT, though. I am sure that flat panel displays will one day offer something better, but they just aren't as mature a technology as CRTs yet. But unless you buy used, you are pretty well out of luck for buying a CRT display these days. Also standard crt screens require a lot of power in their vertical and horizontal hold architecture. Using liquid crystal displays reduce the power used. for convenience and luxury
Lcd ka pura nam kya hai?
It means liquid crystal display . This is full form of lcd.
How do you fix the screen on a digital thermostat after it has been shocked?
Most digital thermometers use liquid crystal displays that cannot be repaired.
What is quartz used for?
Quartz is used in the making of sandpaper, optics, glass, liquid filters, circuit boards, computer components, cement , mortar, and jewelry. Quartz crystals are also piezoelectric meaning when an electrical current passes through them they vibrate a small amount. Time can be measured from the vibrations of the quartz crystals so quartz crystals are often used in clocks.
What is a liquid crystal?
Liquid crystal is a type of substance that has a liquid flow. However, it still retains some order in the arrangement of the molecules. Contemporary liquid crystals are used in electronic displays and items like soap.

Is glass is a liquid crystal?
One can make liquid crystals quite easily. First one must get a container and fill it solution. Afterwards one must put salt in and stir until it is all dissolved. After that, one must heat the solution and continue adding salt. Then one must leave it for it to crystallize.
There is no liquid in LCD so why you call him LCD?
Liquid crystal displays use crystals that are not solid. The optical transparency of the crystal is adjusted with an electrical signal. The crystal will change its orientation as the signal is varied. It is this fluid motion that classifies the crystal as a liquid.
What is the function of liquid crystal in l c d?
Liquid Crystals are the main elements of a LCD through which the light signals are filtered into vibrant colors by varying there intensity and grouping. The front glass panel we see in TV or LAPTOP is liquid crystals. They also consume much less power than conventional displays like CRT.
