HOW LED DISPLAY WORKS...

                 Thanks again for the immense response on all my posts . Keep reading them and keep sharing them . LIKE us on facebook and please give me feedback and suggestion help me grow


                   LED is a developed technology that is very similar to that of  LCD display , except that it has a backlight source as a Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) . It gives a thinner thickness of the screen and consumes a less amount power . Get an idea for displays also

                   An LED display consist of mainly pixels and each pixel is divided into many layers
1. Backlight (LED light source)
2. Horizontal polarizer
3. Liquid Crystals
4. Vertical polarizer
5. Light Filter (Red,Green,Blue).



BACKLIGHT
                 This is basically a light source that provides basic illumination required for the pixel . LED is the light source here

HORIZONTAL POLARIZER
                 This only allows horizontally polarized light , in simple words , light components oriented in horizontal direction

LIQUID CRYSTALS
                This is the part which rotates horizontally polarized light into vertically polarized light by rotating . Angle of rotation is depended on the value supplied to that crystal .

VERTICAL POLARIZER
               This filter only allows vertically polarized light to pass through it and blocks rest all components .

LIGHT FILTER
             Light filter allows particular light to pass through . like Red filter allows only red light to pass through , similarly green and blue allows respective lights to pass through

       

             Initially when backlight radiates only horizontal component is allowed and light coming out is horizontally polarized when it passes from horizontal polarizer , then light has to pass through liquid crystal and this crystal has property to rotate the polarized light . the amount of rotation of the light depends on the voltage supplied and then light passes through vertical polarizer .

            Vertical polarizer only passes vertical components of the light. Say liquid crystal does not rotate the light . Then no light comes out of the vertical polarizer because light has no vertical component . But when light is rotated by say 90degrees then we have all components in vertical direction and the light coming out is maximum . If light is rotated to 45degrees then amount of light coming out is half the incident light . Thus by controlling the amount of rotation, amount of light coming out is controlled .

            The variation in the intensity of different lights is done and different amount of RED ,GREEN BLUE lights are allowed to pass through to produce different colors . Say if we want to produce yellow colour then blue colour is not allowed to pass  and red and green are allowed in equal amounts so Yellow is produced. Each pixel gives out a color and all the pixels work together to produce wonderful images on the screen .

            LED displays have an advantage over LCD , that it consumes lesser power than LCD , gives better display quality , gives thinner displays , but this has higher manufacturing costs

                   Every thing around us has display  be it smartphones , car , bikes , TV etc. But have you noticed ? that the thickness of the display is getting decreased day by day . that is due to the revolutionary technology called LCD displays . Want to know? what a display is? click it to have a basic idea

                  LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display . why it is called so? well keep reading , you will come to know . An LCD display consist of mainly pixels and each pixel is divided into many layers

3. Liquid Crystals
4. Vertical polarizer

HOW DISPLAY WORKS...

                  Thank you for the Humongous response on my previous article on Touchscreens . D follow us on facebook by liking our page on the right side . Do SHARE this article with others and let them know about this . Do comment and give me suggestions and feedback 


                         We all have seen displays . They are part of many electronics like Mobile phones , TV, Car and many more gadgets . Display are an incredible technology that enables us in viewing images, videos , animation, interactives etc. Ever wonder ? How this technology might work? how are we able to produce an image on screen?

                         Display , when subdivided into basic parts consist of a basic element called PIXEL
or abbreviated as Picture-Element . If your display resolution is say 1080x720 , then , there are that many number of pixels in your display . these pixels when combined in the form of a matrix forms a display



                        Each pixel has 3 colors Red , Green , Blue . These colors when combined in proper amounts give rise to different colors . For example say we want yellow color then we must combine green and red color .  Similarly for purple we combine red and blue .

                       Each color in the pixel has a value from 0-255 , red has 0-255 , blue has 0-255 , and green has 0-255 . 0 being dark and 255 being bright red or bright blue or green . If all values are 255 then we perceive white color if all values are 0 then we perceive black color . we can supply different values to RGB and produce millions of colours

                       we have many kinds of display in which the display quality , colour reproduction , contrast ratio , brightness and other factors are improved to a greater extent . Different displays are
1. LCD
2. LED
3. OLED
4. AMOLED
and many more

HOW TOUCHSCREEN WORKS...!

                  Touchscreen is a wonderful technology that has been part of almost every phone now a days . Its wonderful how touching a glass coating on the display of our phone can actually give commands to phone to do a specific task . You touch Bluetooth icon to turn it on or off call icon to call and so on . so lets get to know how this genius technology works.
                
                  Well touchscreen has two works to do, one is to detect that someone has touched screen and other is to detect where in screen has the person touched . Many techniques are available to do these tasks but most widely used two types of touchscreens are..
  •     Resistive Touchscreens
  •     Capacitive Touchscreens

Resistive Touchscreens

                 Resistive touchscreens are the touchscreen technology that were used in old touchscreen phones like old NOKIA Symbian OS phones , Samsung old Java phones etc. This type of touchscreen have two layers one is Conducting layer lying below and a Resistive layer lying on top . Conductive layer is supplied with the voltage and then a current is flowing through the layer . Resistive and Conductive layers are separated by saparators and thus a small gap is present between the two layers .

        
        

                       When we Touch the upper layer , we apply pressure on it . This pressure moves the upper layer towards downward layer . And when it touches the lower layer the current flowing in the lower layer changes and this change in current is sensed by the processor and tells which point on the screen is touched .

                Well this was an old technology . Used by majority of phones till 2005-06 . But this type of touchscreens offer low display quality and also implementing Multitouch technology is quite difficult .
    
             

Capacitive Touchscreen

                     This was first introduced in I-Phones and soon all phones started adopting to this technology . Now all the phones available in market is using capacitive touchscreen technology . This
technology provides better multitouch capability and also provides better and more accurate touch capability .

                      In  Capacitive Touchscreen technology , the whole screen is divided into several layers, lower layer will be display and upper layer will be protective glass (gorilla glass or whatever) . The middle layer is the combination of grid lines containing horizontal and vertical lines . Horizontal lines constitute of charges and Vertical lines are sensing lines .

                     Whenever we Touch the screen , our skin being electrically conductive takes out some charge , this is sensed by the sensing element lines to figure out where on screen the person touched .
This can better perform in terms of display resolution and thickness of display . Because  we need good conductivity the Touchscreen doesn't work well when operated with other objects than finger or stylus.
                                 

                   There have been many improvements in this technology . The protective glass is  integrated with the grids ,this reduces the thickness of display and thus showing better display quality as number of layers between eyes and display is less . We have this type of technology in AMOLED display and latest I-phones
