Pro's They have a slim profile (2 inches thick!).Their retail price is falling (still pricey, though).Bright and sharp images, especially for video games or connecting your PC to your home theater.
How they work Thermotropic liquid crystals will react to changes in temperature or, in some cases, pressure.Thermotropic liquid crystals are either isotropic or nematic.The orientation of the molecules in the nematic phase is based on the director.The director can be anything from a magnetic field to a surface that has microscopic grooves in it. In the nematic phase, liquid crystals can be further classified by the way molecules orient themselves in respect to one another. Smectic, the most common arrangement, creates layers of moleculesAnother common phase is cholesteric, also known as chiral nematic. In this phase, the molecules twist slightly from one layer to the next, resulting in a spiral formation.
