Q. Consider the following statements regarding the working of LCDs:
1.The display relies on a backlight and a layer of liquid crystals that act as shutters to control light passage.
2.When a voltage is applied (On state), the liquid crystals untwist and prevent light from passing through the second polarizer, creating a dark pixel.
3.LCD pixels emit their own light through organic diodes, eliminating the need for external illumination sources.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

[A] 1 only

[B] 1 and 2 only

[C] 2 and 3 only

[D] 1, 2 and 3

Answer: B
Notes:

Explanation:

  • Statements 1 and 2 are correct: These accurately describe the light-shutter mechanism using polarizers and liquid crystal molecules.
  • Statement 3 is incorrect: LCDs are non-emissive. They cannot produce their own light and must rely on a backlight (typically LED).
