A liquid crystal display (LCD) is a thin, flat panel used for electronically displaying information such as text, moving pictures, and images. Its uses include most modern electronics like computer displays, televisions and mobile phones. Some of its most interesting features are the lightweight construction, portability and the ability to be produced in much larger screen sizes than are practical for the construction of cathode ray tube (CRT) display technology. The low electrical power consumption recommends it for most users, thanks to the positive impact it has on global warming.
