    Focal length of LCD screen as a car's rear view mirror

    I noticed on the commute home today a car with a LCD rear view mirror and I wondered whether, if I were driving it, I'd be able to focus on it the same as I focus on my car's glass review view mirror? I need glasses to read, and that includes a computer, so figured a LCD screen that close, even...

    I Quetelet rings on LCD displays?

    When shining a flashlight at particular LCD displays, an interesting interference pattern appears, consisting of parallel or concentric lines. It closely resembles Quetelet rings seen on dusty mirrors and glass panes. Quetelet rings are formed when light from a dust particle interferes with the...

    MHB Calculating LCD and GCD of 2 Sets of Numbers

    Determine $\textit{gcd}(2^4 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 5 \cdot 7^2,\quad 2 \cdot 3^3 \cdot 7 \cdot 11)$ and $\textit{lcm}(2^3 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 5,\quad 2 \cdot 3^3 \cdot 7 \cdot 11)$ ok the example appeared to have combine the 2 sets on gcd but I am still ? there is no book answer for this:confused:

    Can a Cracked LCD Glass be Repaired or Should I Just Buy a New Clock?

    I have a small LCD clock and a corner of the LCD glass cracked and separated. This small region of the glass lines up with one of the pads on the circuit board and the result is that one of the segments is non-operative. I look at the LCD glass and I can't see any sort of circuit trace. Is the...

    Can Fiber Optic Cables Create a Custom Shaped LCD Screen?

    I want to create an uneven surface, and have its surface color change by controlling pixel colors on an LCD screen. My first thought is that creating an LCD screen that's anything beyond flat or curved would be impractical, so would it be possible to use fiber optic cables to redirect pixel light?

    LCD screen manufacturing process simplification?

    Hello I am no expert so i apologize if the answer is trivial.I was wondering, if they can manufacture a transparent transistor on every (sub)pixel of LCD glass screen, why are they using "COF (Chip-On-Flex) or COG (Chip-On-Glass construction)" to connect every (sub)pixels' tiny wire at the end...

    Why do LCD TVs show color spectrum when light shines on them?

    Hi pf, I just noticed that when light shines onto my tv screen (when it is off) you see thin bands of colors reflecting back (see picture attached). I just wondered why this was and also why it ONLY happens if DIRECT light (from a bulb or the sun) hits it. Also, you only ever seem to get 4...
