LCD Operation in A Nutshell
The operation of TN, VA and IPS-LCDs can be summarized as follows:
- a well aligned LC configuration is deformed by an applied electric field,
- this deformation changes the orientation of the local LC optical axis with respect to the direction of light propagation through the LC layer,
- this change of orientation changes the polarization state of the light propagating through the LC layer,
- this change of the polarization state is converted into a change of intensity by dichroic absorption, usually by external dichroic polarizers.

Famous quotes containing the words operation and/or nutshell:
“It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. The only idea of wit, or rather that inferior variety of the electric talent which prevails occasionally in the North, and which, under the name of “Wut,” is so infinitely distressing to people of good taste, is laughing immoderately at stated intervals.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
“Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito’s wing that falls on the rails.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
