Industrial LCD Monitors

The LCD technology has almost completely replaced the older cathode ray tube (CRT) technology used for industrial monitors for many years. An industrial LCD monitor consists of five layers: a backlight, a sheet of polarized glass, a "mask" of colored pixels, a layer of liquid crystal solution responsive to a wired grid of x, y coordinates, and a second polarized sheet of glass. Let us understand how the LCD technology actually works. It begins with manipulating the course of crystals by precise electrical charges of varying degrees and voltages. The crystals further act like tiny shutters, opening or closing in response to the stimulus, thus allowing degrees of light that have passed through specific colored pixels to illuminate the screen, finally creating an image.

The most important feature of the LCD technology is that with a few clicks you have a brighter, clearer, and sharper image. Known for its wide screen and light weight, now technology has advanced and you will be amazed to find 50 inch display. As LCDs have a long and durable life of about two decades allowing a person to use it daily for 8 to 10 hours.

Industrial LCD monitors have some of the distinct features that are more useful as compared to the CRT monitors. Originally, projected for laptops, Industrial LCD monitors are now widely used in digital clocks, microwave ovens, CD players and other electronic devices. LCD monitors are also used to in hospitals, restaurants, banks, ATMs, and gaming.
As a result, industrial LCD monitors are slowly and steadily replacing the conventional computer systems using the CRT technology.
