LCD monitor A monitor that uses liquid crystal display technology. Many laptop and notebook computers use LCD displays because of their low power requirements. 

The answer to this question has become even more important with the advent of modern liquid crystal display technologies, that are based on reliable and technologically controllable surface alignment of liquid crystals, used in a variety of electrooptic devices, such as liquid crystal displays, light modulators, optical shutters, switches, holographic systems, etc.

The first edition of this book marked a new departure for the WUey-SID Series in Display Technology because it had been written primarily as a text for postgraduate and senior undergraduate students. It fulfilled that objective admirably, but the continuing advances in liquid crystal display technology over the intervening eight years have made necessary some additions to keep the book current.

One of the most common LC phases is the nematic, where the molecules have no positional order, but they have long-range orientational order. Thus, the molecules flow and their center of mass positions are randomly distributed as in a liquid. Most nematics are uniaxial the molecules are orientationally ordered about a common axis defined as the director and represented by the unit vector n (Table 2). It is very important to stress that nematics can be easily aligned by an external magnetic or electric field. Aligned nematics have the optical properties of uniaxial crystals and this makes them extremely useful in liquid crystal display technology.

In the manufacture of the polymer-stabilized blue and isotropic phases, a polymerizatiOTi reaction occurs in the entire panel. Conventional liquid crystal display technology does not use this type of process, and hence a change will be required in the manufacturing process. Furthermore, we expect several other unknown adverse factors, especially long-term stability, from the use of liquid crystals containing polymers as impurities. The challenge will then be to remove unreacted monomer or eliminate the adverse effects of the residual monomer. 

Recent development of flat panels is largely owing to liquid crystal display technology. The key factor in realizing the great industrial success is the emergence and improvement of the display modes suitable for the large size TV display. There are different types of display modes for this purpose however, the materials...
