Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
LCDs are used in digital clocks, cellular phones, desktop
and laptop computers, and some televisions and other
electronic systems. They offer a decided advantage over
other display technologies, such as cathode ray tubes, in
that they are much lighter and thinner and consume a lot
less power to operate. LCD technology relies on special
electrical and optical properties of a class of materials
known as liquid crystals, first discovered in the 1880s by
botanist Friedrich Reinitzer.
Physical Principle
Liquid crystals are neither a pure solid nor a pure liquid,
but rather a hybrid of both. One particular variety of
interest is the twisted nematic liquid crystal whose
molecules have a natural tendency to assume a twisted
spiral structure when the material is sandwiched between
finely grooved glass substrates with orthogonal
orientations (A). Note that the molecules in contact with
the grooved surfaces align themselves in parallel along
the grooves. The molecular spiral causes the crystal to
behave like a wave polarizer; unpolarized light incident upon the entrance substrate follows the
orientation of the spiral, emerging through the exit substrate with its polarization (direction of
electric field) parallel to the groove’s direction.

Next, we need to check the sign of the ˆy-component relative to that of the
ˆx-component. We do this by examining the locus of E versus t at z

0: Since
the wave is traveling along
� ˆz, when the thumb of the right hand is along
�
ˆz (into
the page), the other four fingers point in the direction shown (clockwise as seen from
above). Hence, we should reverse the sign of the ˆy-component:
