LCD is short for Liquid Crystal Display and this LCD technology provides low power requirements and less weight. LCD screens can also be used as computer monitors. Each pixel in LCD displays emits intensity light for a period of time of 20ms, and it usually takes 12-25ms to switch to the next stage.

Response time can be shortened by using overdrive technique and panel design. They also act as a good component for playing video games. Older LCD models had a ghosting problem, and manufacturers shortened the response time to 2ms for computer monitors and 8ms for LCDs.

This technology is based on the function of polarized light. Two thin laminated polarized sheets are bonded to glass which has a very thin layer of liquid crystal. It has regular 2 dimensional grids of electrodes, allowing each pixel in an array to be individually activated and selected.

LCD technology is used in large screen televisions with active matrix addressing in combination. Previous LCD models had low-end technology compared to large-screen plasma televisions. But now, LCD TVs can provide high-end performance.

Currently, the sixth generation panels are introduced by brand manufacturers such as Sharp Corporation, LG display, Sony and Samsung. The 65-inch panel was first introduced by Sharp in 2004. Then Samsung introduced the 82-inch panel in 2005, the 100-inch panel by LG Electronics in 2006, and the 108-inch panel by Sharp in 2007.

The LCD HDTV was introduced by Silicon Mountain as the Allio in 2008 and is integrated with a Blu-ray player. In the future, manufacturers have announced many dollar investment plans for LCD production. So these LCD TVs will definitely be a key product in the market.
