Liquid Crystal Displays, commonly referred to as “LCD,” were discovered in the late 19th century and introduced to the world of technology in 1971. Liquid crystals were first discovered by Austrian botanist Friedrich Reinitzer, but the term was coined by German physicist Otto Lehmann. Liquid crystals exhibit the properties of both solid and liquid matter, acting like a solid by allowing light to pass through while following the alignment of their molecules. But the way light passes through liquid crystals can be changed by charging the crystals with electricity, which changes their molecular alignment in accordance with the traits of liquid matter.

The LCD display medium has evolved over time, moving into a variety of fields. LCDs are used in televisions, digital and still cameras, and computer monitors, including those for the industrial sector. LCD screens have a lead over other technologies for flat screen TVs, and LCDs nearly have a monopoly over notebook PCs and tablets.

The industrial sector in particular relies heavily on rackmount and panel mount LCD workstations, which are outfitted with LCD monitors. An LCD workstation is an all-in-one solution idea for serious industrial applications, especially in rugged or harsh environments. LCD workstations also provide a compact, sophisticated solution compared to other alternatives. For instance, in comparison to CRT, LCD screens are available in more sizes, are more energy efficient, and can be disposed of in a safer manner. Due to LCD’s high energy efficiency, these screens can be battery-powered, making them more portable and reliable than the competition.
