The "liquid crystal" inside the LCD screen is one of the three main materials of the LCD screen, and its function is significant. Here is a detailed explanation:
1. Basic concepts of LCD display screens
Liquid crystal as a new physical form. It was discovered by Austrian scientist Friedrich Reinitzer in 1888. When the substance is heated until the crystal melts, it changes into a milky white turbid liquid. Continuing heating, the milky white liquid will become a completely transparent liquid, and this phenomenon also occurs during the cooling process. Observing with a polarizing microscope, it was found that this milky white liquid is different from ordinary liquids and exhibits optical anisotropy, that is, the molecules inside the object have a certain degree of ordered arrangement, which is different from the traditional concepts of solid and liquid, and is defined as liquid crystal.
