Bleeding on lcd monitors (how a tft actually works)

Sep 25, 2006 6 Replies

Can someone shed some light on the fact that sometimes lcd monitors fail with a crack, the fluid leaks bit the monitor just continues to work, what is the actual function of the fluid (the actual crystals), better, is there a good website out there explaining the technology behind the lcd panels? I would like to know how the actual panel is made, where is the layer that carries the picture, where is the fluid, how is it held in place...

Right, that says a lot, i just was thinking that in case of a crack, the fluid would leak, but must be such a small amount that it doesn't happen.

TFT just refers to the driving technology. It stands for Thin Film Transistor, one of which is deposited at each pixel location, I think

Most google hits were not so clear but the first suggestion answered my curiosity, thanks everybody.
