LCD Screens
LCDs, or commonly known as Liquid Crystal Displays, were partially
responsible for the first laptop. Before LCD screens, "laptops" or portable
computers as they were called, were large and cumbersome. The LCD screen
allowed the laptop to be small and functional.
When the LCD was first invented, it was used for watches. Then came
grocery store screens. Then came clocks. Finally, some enlightened fellow
decided to miniaturize LCDs, and the LCD screen/monitor was born. That’s
right, the LCD on your favorite toy or electronic is the same technology
used in laptop screens (LCDs). There are two LCD technologies used in laptops
today. They are both very similar in the application, but each possesses
their own unique qualities. They are the active and passive matrixes.
