Liquid crystal display grid, SEM
Liquid crystal display grid. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the grid (black) surrounding subpixels (rectangles) from a laptop computers liquid crystal display (LCD). Pixels are tiny areas of a computer screen, comprising 3 subpixels coloured red, green and blue. The grid supplies electricity to the liquid crystals in each subpixel. This affects the optical properties of the liquid crystals, changing the transmission of light through them. The combination of green, blue and red can produce over 16 million shades of colour on the computers LCD screen. An RGB screen can have over 2 million subpixels. Magnification: x210 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a liquid crystal display (LCD) grid, captured through a colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The black grid surrounds an array of rectangular subpixels found in laptop computer screens. Each pixel is composed of three subpixels - red, green, and blue - which work together to create over 16 million shades of vibrant color on the LCD screen. The purpose of this grid becomes apparent as we delve into its function: it supplies electricity to the liquid crystals within each subpixel. This electrical charge influences the optical properties of these crystals, ultimately altering their ability to transmit light. Through this fascinating process, our eyes are treated to vivid images and videos on our personal devices. With magnification at x210 when printed 10cm wide, this SEM image allows us to appreciate the remarkable details that make up an RGB screen. Over two million subpixels come together harmoniously within this matrix-like structure, forming a technological trio that revolutionizes our computing experience. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing composition, we are reminded of how far technology has advanced in enabling us to enjoy stunning visuals with just a flicker from our fingertips. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation in harnessing the power of liquid crystal displays for everyday use.
