Liquid-crystal-display televisions or LCD tv’s are the television sets which use the liquid crystal display technology to make something visible on the screen. They are very much lightre and thinner than the conventional cathode ray televisions. And they are also offered in much bigger sizes as compared to the conventional back lit cathode ray tube based televsions. Once they were thought to be the line of products which will never set into the market because their production cost was to high, with the innovationin the late 90’s and introduction of some cheap and comparitively affordable building materials, the production cost of Liquid-crystal-display televisions dramatically fell which led to their mass production and in the early 21st century their sales surpased those of the cathode ray tube televisions for the first time.
The first and foremost the main advantage of a Liquid-crystal-display television is their efficient power use as compared to conventional TV, plasma panel or backlit screens. LCD TV use liquid crystals to lighten up the screen which individually take a very tiny amount of energy. Although the first Liquid-crystal-display televisions produced used to take up a lot of energy because of the fact that the main screen area is almost 50% taken by the practical components of the liquid crystal i.e. the resistors and capacitors. Secondly the light that we see is very minute as compared to the original image that is produced. The original image is many times more intense than the signal that is visible because to get the perfect combination of the color scheme there are many color filters which filter and re filter the image to get the exact same color.
During this filtration process a lot of signal use to get lost in the old Liquid-crystal-display televisions. But with the recent advances in science and technology we are able to use that lost signals and hence we can control the amount of power used overall thus increasing the efficiency and efficacy.
