      That's right.
      256(=2^8) is 8 bits for each color, while 16777216(=2^24=256^3) is the total colors that each pixel can have.
      That's a lot of information for 1920x1080 screen! You need about 50 million of 0's and 1's for each frame, if it was completely uncompressed.

    I've found several videos and articles that describe what this video describes, but I'm having trouble finding one that describes how a particular set of RGB voltage levels gets from the chip that is receiving the data stream to a paticular pixel on the screen. For a 1920 x 1600 pixel screen, that's over 3 million pixels! For each pixel, you have 3 LED's with 2 electrodes each that you have to wire up. So that's 3 million * 3 * 2 = 18 million wires! So I can't imagine that it's actually done with wires? How does it work?

    I was playing around with a toy microscope and noticed these rgb bars in the pixels and I assumed it either just switches on or off. I thought the brightness would stay uniform through out depending of the brightness setting. I had no idea even at a fixed brightness the brightness of each pixels' rgb would also play. I cannot begin to understand how they are even made. I mean we always assume oh it's machine, but how? these components are so small. It's fascinating how common this technology has become when you realise how much is going on for something so simple.

    Given that each color filers has 8 bits ( binary digit) of brightness information like this :
    1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1
    for each bit you get 2 possibilities : 0 or 1

    But how does the monitor send a signal to each pixel? does that mean each pixel is wired? I thought thats why mini led is hard to make,
    Found the answer from reddit, doesn't explain why the mini led is hard to make, and what kind of tiny wires are they using?:
    "ACTUAL ANSWER: most screens are subdivided into squares or columns of pixels. The actual pixels are made up of 3 subpixels. Yes, each subpixel has two wires going to it, usually one wire above going up and down and another line under the going sideways, like a grid with subpixels located at the intersections. Inside the screen there are "column driver" chips that take binary address along with color and intensity and convert it to a signal to drive the subpixels. If your monitor is say 1920x1080, you can have twenty 192x540 blocks each driven by their own driver. All these chips are then connected to the master chip that takes input from your videocard, does address conversion from x,y,intensity to column,x,y,intensity. This master chip has very few data lines coming from the videocard."

    One thing I don’t get is how you get varying voltage from the binary? Binary is on and off so does each pixel use a digital-to-analogue converter in order to get the different voltages used to vary the brightness or are they just sent through different resistors depending on the binary numbers coming through?…

    Why do we need to stop twisting when we light was already horizontal ?

    • @InstrumentalCornerBest
      @InstrumentalCornerBest 8 лет назад +7

      +Alex John In short, we need to stop twisting in order to make the light pass horizontal (and not twist to vertical), such that it is blocked and produces darker shades up to black.
      According to the video ( 1:34 ), the light gets twisted by default when no electricity is applied to the electrodes, and the liquid crystals are in their normal, twisted arrangements. Therefore, the horizontal polarized light (from the first polarizer filter) gets twisted to the vertical plane, passes through the second polarizer filter (the vertical one), resulting in a lighted sub-pixel (one LC with the the color filter at the end).
      When the electricity is applied to the electrodes, the liquid crystals lose their twisted or "normal" arrangements and are all arranged horizontally, simply passing the incoming horizontal light forward, which then gets blocked by the vertical polarizer filter, resulting in a black pixel or color filter.

    But I have another thing I am curious about. Why put up a horizontal polariser if you need to make the light vertical? Why not just put vertical polarisers right in front of the backlight? Why would you go through all of this LC stuff if you could just put up a vertical polariser at the start?

      the idea is to switch between a bright state and a dark state.
      when the liquid crystal is subjected to an electrical field, it looses its twist angle, therefore losing its ability to twist the polarization of light.
      so you exploit crossed polarizers, between crossed polarizers all light is blocked unless you have some kind of material in between that can switch the polarization of light.

    Why one sheet is horizonral and another is vertical.. Why they both cant join in horizontal
