LCD monochrome displays are flat-panel displaysused in electronic circuits. They use the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals to display black and white images, such as preset words, digits and displays, as found for instance on a digital clock or calculator.LCD monochrome display applicationsLCD monochrome displays can be used in a variety of applications including in portable devices such as digital cameras, watches and smartphones. They’re also used in electronics products such as DVD players, video game devices and clocks.Benefits, features and types of LCD monochrome displaysLCD monochrome displays are compact, energy efficient, have a low electrical power consumption and are easy to fit to your PCB (printed circuit board).You can choose from a range of sizes and styles, including by how many rows or characters your display will show. Look out for designs that produce their own light with built-in LED (light emitting diode) backlights so that no extra display backlightingis required.
