    My alarm clock for the past 15 years has been a simple LCD clock, specifically a westclox 47539. It is always on and only takes 2 AAAs every 3 years. It never misses an alarm and will beat the reliability of a phone or plug in clock. If I didn’t use the alarm or backlight button I’m sure it would last 10 years easily

    Posy - my guess on the multi colour dot matrix displays are that each pixel in the display gets applied a particular voltage to activate the twist of the TN a certain amount only. Instead of 100% VCC, it is an analogue scale voltage applied depending on the desired colour. This partial twist rotates the light a certain amount, yielding the desired colour. You can see these colour changes in this video when you rotate the films.

    RCA Labs sold off TN LCD to Japan because in the 60s, management was obsessed with colour CRT and had sunk cost into it. The symmetric LCD modes like MVA and FFS(IPS) were developed by Fujitsu and Hitachi. Active matrix LCD displays are truly an invention of Japan and Korea. If you are in a store and are can't tell whether a turned off monitor is TN or not, place your phone's light against the screen. The entire screen should light up dimly, because TN is transmissive at zero voltage. MVA and FFS are black at zero voltage.

    2:00 I think polarizers work exactly the opposite way. Light wants to move electrons (along the axis of oscillation) if it hits something. Between two parallel bars, electrons cannot move, so the light passes through without doing anything. Perpendicular to that, electrons can move (inside the bars, up and down), so the light will be absorbed.

    • @michaelshultz2540
      @michaelshultz2540 Před 2 lety

      1 light is not electrons .2 your theory is also a bit wrong. Because if you take two polarized filters and turn them at right angle to each other so as to block all light then place a third filter in front of them and turn it to a right angle the light will then pass through. Very spooky. How can all light be blocked then be unblocked by a third filter? Come up with an answer and you will get the physics prize of the day.

    • @MarsCorporations
      @MarsCorporations Před 2 lety +2

      ​@@michaelshultz2540
      1. You are correct, but I never stated that "light is electrons".
      2. My theory has nothing to do with the stuff you wrote, why should it be wrong?
      And for your answer: it is quite easy
      1. A photon has some polarization before hitting the first filter. When hitting the filter, it has two options: 1. get absorbed, 2. pass through and adjust the polarization according to the filter. If the 2nd filter is at 90° (in relation to the first one), the photon will also hit the second filter at 90° and will be absorbed everytime -> no light passes.
      2. (You are wrong, if you put the 3rd filter "in front" of two filters that already cancel all the light, the combination will also cancel all the light.) What you mean is: Put the 3rd filter between the two filters, so you have 45° between 1&2 and 2&3. Then (cos(45°)^2)^2=25% of the light will pass through.
      I do not need a physics price, I already have a physics degree, very spooky indeed.
      Also: before you comment, read wikipedia or google: "wire-grid polarizer". It even has images, so you dont need to actually read.
