the display can ‘twist’ the polarized light exactly 90 degrees so it is blocked by the second piece of polarizing film in the display. Besides getting the right crystals and engineering ...

LCD technology utilizes the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers. These crystals do not emit light directly but use a backlight or reflector to produce images in ...

He was interested in optics, and at around age 13, he became interested in using polarized light to reduce headlight glare. The problem was that one of the best polarizing crystals known ...
