Everything About LCD Monitor

By Govy

An LCD that can show colors has three subpixels, namely: red, green and blue color filters. This create each color pixel for the LCD.

Through careful control and variation of the voltage used, the intensity of each subpixel can range over 256 shades. Combining the subpixels can produce a palette of 16.8 million colors (256 shades of red x 256 shades of green x 256 shades of blue), these color displays take an enormous number of transistors. For example, for a typical laptop computer, it has a resolution up to 1,024×768. If we multiply 1,024 columns by 768 rows by 3 subpixels, we get 2,359,296 transistors etched onto the glass to produce different colors!

If there is a problem with any of these transistors, it creates a “bad pixel” on the display and definitely produces fuzzy images.
