How screens work
Display technology encompasses the methods and systems used to present visual information on screens.
It includes the underlying principles—liquid crystals, organic LEDs, cathode ray tubes, plasma, electronic ink—and the engineering that makes images appear: The museum traced the evolution of display technology from early CRTs to modern OLED panels.
The term covers both the science of how displays work and the industry that develops them.
