Liquid Crystal Displays

Liquid Crystal Displays (or LCDs) are among the most widely-used displays in the world, whether for home entertainment, timepieces or public information systems.

High-Definition Televisions (HDTV)

With the advent of HDTV, Liquid Crystal televisions are now much sought after by those who value clarity of picture combined with neatness of form factor. These days a television may be hung on a wall as easily as a picture or mirror. With advances in technology, these fantastic display units are now priced within reach of many discerning private customers.

Watches

Liquid Crystal Watches have long been the most energy-efficient digital watches. As the technology behind LCD improves, great advances have been made in the clarity and quality of the displayed image. The stock 7-segment displays have been consigned to history and we now have full colour, animated faces which can be customised to suit all tastes.

The computational power required to run a simple watch is, in modern terms, almost negligible. This has resulted in the ability of the modern watch to perform many other functions. We now have MP3 players, telephones and even video players which are wearable on the wrist.

Digital Cameras

There can be no doubt that digital cameras have changed the nature of photography dramatically in the last couple of decades. One of the cornerstones of their success has been the huge advance made in the quality, clarity and power efficiency of the liquid crystal displays used as view screens over the same period. It is essential for the photographer to be able to view an accurate representation of the shot both before and after it has been taken to aid composition and to examine the result for any defects.

Video Cameras

Just as LCDs have kick-started the uptake of digital cameras for stills so they also have for video. Even moreso than in their still counterparts, screens in video cameras have an absolute necessity to combine a crystal clear representation of the image being photographed with all of the on-screen information required by the camera operator.

Mobile Phones

Imagine a mobile phone without an LCD screen - impossible!
