liquid crystal display (LCD)

Definition

Electronic device comprising of the molecules of a semi-liquid material sandwiched between sheets of a transparent material. The molecules are oriented by an electric current applied to them, and reflect light of different colors (wavelengths) according to their orientation. Used mainly in newer computer monitors and handheld devices such as cell phones and digital cameras, LCDs use very little current and have long service life.
