LCD
ALiquid Crystal Display(LCD) is aflat panel display that uses the light
modulatingpropertiesofliquidcrystalswhichdonotemitlightdirectly.Theyare
used in a wide range of applications, includingcomputer monitors,television,
instrumentpanels,aircraftcockpitdisplays,signage,etc.

two transparentelectrodes, and twopolarizingfilters, perpendicular to each

LED
ALight Emitting Diode(LED) is asemiconductorlight source.LEDs are used
asindicatorlampsinmanydevicesandareincreasinglyusedforotherlighting.
When a light-emittingdiodeis forwardbiased(switched on),electronsare able
torecombinewith electronwithin the device, releasing energy in the form
ofphotons. This effect is called electroluminescence. LED is powerful enough
for room lighting and are relatively expensive, require more precise current
andmanagement than compactfluorescent lampsources of comparable
output.
