Definition

Noun: 1. A type of flat-panel display technology: LCD stands for "Liquid Crystal Display." It is a digital display screen that creates images by modulating light using liquid crystal cells. These cells change their alignment and optical properties when an electric field is applied. LCDs are known for being thin, lightweight, and energy-efficient compared to older technologies. * Core Concept: A screen technology that uses liquid crystals to control the passage of light, forming images without producing its own light (typically requiring a backlight).

Usage Examples
