10. lay ers of the liquid crystal molecules can therefore be longitudinal or diagonal to the polarising direction of the light and thereby have a varying effect on the course of light waves LIQUID CRYSTALS POLARISE INCIDENT LIGHT An LC display consists of two polarising filters a control layer the respective colour filters and the liquid crystal layer The light from a background lamp hits an initial polarisation membrane so that only a specific plane of polarisation of the light reaches the liquid crystal layer Without any external electrical influence the liquid crystal molecules arrange themselves in a screw like shape between the two vertically aligned polarising filters and the directional structure imposed as a result The light follows this ori entation and is rotated by 90 degrees The second polarising filter only allows light through with this rotated polarisation The light valve is open as a result the controlled pixel lights up If an electrical voltage is applied the liquid crystal molecules orientate themselves along the field lines The 90 screw is lifted up the LC molecules appear parallel to the incident light and allow it to pass through without altering the polarising direction The unrotated light hits the second rotated polarising filter and is blocked As a result the corresponding pixel remains dark The intensity of the departing visible light can be controlled by means of the voltage applied to the crystal layer and
