LCD - Liquid Crystal Display:
An introduction to LCD technology. What is liquid crystal?
How the orientation of the its molecules are changed by electric field?
How characters and graphics are displayed?
LCD Fluid Types:
TN, STN, FSTN or other types of LCD liquid. What is their
difference in terms of display quality and control strategy?
LCD Display Modes:
Dark image on light background, or vice versa. How to choose
between them in different circumstances?
LCD Polarizer Modes:

your application?
LCD Viewing Angle:
What is viewing angle vs. viewing direction? How viewing
angle is affected by the types of liquid and driving methods?
LCD Temperature Ranges:
LCD can work properly in a certain temperature range, which
is determined by the LCD fluid, polarizers, operational voltage, and
multiplex rate. LCD can also be optimized to work in certain temperature
ranges.
LCD Connection Types:
