The working of LCDs
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is a house hold term as it is being used in so much of gadgets we use today like laptops, watches, digital clocks, microwave ovens etc. They also present a whole host of advantages over Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) like being lesser in weight, consuming lesser power and not emitting electromagnetic radiations like CRTs. Liquid Crystals are substances whose molecular characteristics vary between liquids and solids as their molecules tend to maintain their orientation, like the molecules in a solid, but also move around to different positions, like the molecules in a liquid.
Just like there are so many types of liquids and solids, liquid crystals come with slightly different molecular structures having different properties. The nematic liquid crystal is most widely used in LCDs. This crystal is very sensitive to electric current. Applying an electric current to these liquid crystals will change their molecular structure to varying degrees, depending on the current's voltage. LCDs use these liquid crystals because they react predictably to electric current such that the light passage through them can be easily controlled.
But creating a sheet of liquid crystal is not what makes the LCD, there is a lot more into it. The ability of liquid crystals to transmit the polarized light and to respond to electric voltages is the idea working behind LCDs. Now let's build our own LCD this will give us an idea of how they work.
Let's take two pieces of polarized glass and then rub that side of the one glass which does not have the polarizing film on it with a special polymer creating microscopic grooves on it. The grooves must be in the same direction as the polarizing film. Now let's coat one of the glasses with nematic liquid crystal. Then we have to add the second glass with the polarizing film at a right angle to the first one. As light strikes the first filter, it is polarized. The molecules in each layer then guide the light they receive to the next layer. As this polarized light passes through the liquid crystal layers, the molecules also change the light's plane of vibration to match their own angle. When the light reaches the far end of the liquid crystal, it must vibrate at the same angle as the final layer of molecules to effectively pass through the liquid crystal.
Now if we apply an electric potential to liquid crystal molecules, they change their molecular orientation. While doing so, they change the angle of the light passing through them so that it no longer matches the angle of the top polarizing filter. Consequently, light fails to pass through that area of the LCD, which makes that area darker than the surrounding areas.
One final thing I want to mention is that LCDs have no light of their own; they purely depend on an external light source. Inexpensive LCDs are reflective in nature and fail in work in dark. But the LCD displays we have, say in our laptops, are equipped with an internal source of fluorescent light.

what ordinary material or liquid solution can i use to clean up marks and dirt on the LCD screen of my laptop?
Im looking for something that's not expensive and easy to look for.
If your screen is glossy, the best thing to use is eyeglasses cleaning solution. Do not use windex or water on a glossy screen, it will smear and leave streaks.
If your screen is matte (dull) you can use windex or water on a cloth. Dont spray the windex on the screen and dont let it run into the crack where the laptop plastic meets the lcd.

Block Copolymers in Liquid Crystal Solvents $160.91 Liquid crystals enjoy a wide range of technological applications, perhaps the bestknown being the LCD, or liquid crystal display. When combined with polymeric materials the resulting solutions have a range of physical properties not present in either material alone and this coupling imparts useful properties such as novel electrooptic switching combined with easy processability. This book explores the relationships between polymers and liquid crystals through experimental investigations of their solutions.

Top Digital Camera Repair Problem - Broken LCD Screen
We live in a throw-away society, it's a simple fact. You buy that brand new fancy digital camera with all the bells and whistles for $400, and in 6 months to 1 year it's worth maybe half that, and then the unthinkable happens: you drop it and it breaks. The LCD is cracked, or the lens is jammed; what do you do? You head back to the store with your poor little camera and the guy behind the counter (that knows nothing about cameras except for what's written on the box, and even less about camera repair) tells you it's not worth it to fix it and you should toss it in the trash. You feel ripped off and mad at the camera manufacturer and you toss it out and buy a new one made by somebody else.
There are alternatives available! You don't have to toss out that camera, you can repair it yourself, send it in for repair, or sell it for parts to somebody else online.
If you want to repair it or get it repaired, I have some advice for you about what I believe is the #1 digital camera repair problem: broken LCD screens.
It was hard for me to choose between broken LCD screens and broken lenses, but I stuck with LCD for #1 because it's so easy to break your LCD that you don't even have to touch the camera to do it!
The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is the view screen on the back of the camera that lets you see menus, playback pictures etc. The LCD is very thin, very fragile, and on many many cameras completely UNPROTECTED! Look at the back of your camera, is the screen recessed slightly or is the back of the camera flat and smooth? If it's flat you have a protective 'window' or 'glass' over the LCD to help prevent damage and breakage. If it's not flat, you have nothing protecting your LCD and should put a good quality LCD screen protector on the camera and NOT those thin, flimsy 'saran wrap' plastic film screen protectors, they are worthless.
- Don't leave your camera in your car in summer or winter. Extreme heat can cause expansion of the liquid in the LCD and cause it to 'crack', and on the other side of things extreme cold can cause it to freeze
- Don't put anything up against the LCD in your camera bag, it will bang against the LCD and crack it (yes, even if it has a window over it, it will break!)
- Don't put your camera in your back pocket and then sit down!
- Don't put your camera in your front pocket and then roll over on it.
- ... Just don't put your camera in your pants pocket please. =)
Ok, so it's broken, what do you do now?
- The manufacturer will just site impact damage and will refuse the repair even if the camera wasn't dropped etc. You can try, and I wish you luck, but they probably won't fix it.
- Look for a defective camera on e***y (hey they don't pay me to advertise for them...) and make one good camera from the two if you are handy.
- Look for an actual camera repair business and not somebody that will send it to the manufacturer and tell you it's $200 and 4-6 weeks to repair. (IF they tell you this, they are NOT repairing your camera for you, they are sending it to the manufacturer, guaranteed)
Many LCD screens are very easy to install and you can do it yourself and all you need is a small screwdriver. Other LCD's are very difficult to install, and even professionals don't like to do them! I can't tell you Brand .... is the best and Brand ... is the worst, it's really not like that. Certain SERIES of cameras have 1 or 2 models that are difficult to work on, yet the rest of them are fairly straight forward. You need to decide for yourself if you want to open your camera and try the repair yourself or not.
How is an LCD replaced?
With most Canon digital camera LCD screens for example (using them as the example because they have the largest market share) all you do is disconnect the ribbon cable for the LCD and the backlight (the light that shines through the LCD and allows you to see what is on the screen) and then install the new LCD. Some come with the backlight attached, some do not. Some backlights need to be soldered to the mainboard of the camera, some do not.
- Be careful to not touch the flash capacitor contacts! You WILL zap yourself if you do, and it will HURT a bit. You will probably throw your camera across the room when it happens. (Yeah, I've done it, I've been repairing cameras for 5 years now so....) We have 'flash capacitor dischargers' and use them every time we open a camera.
I hope this helps you get your digital camera repaired and saves you time and money in the process!
