● LIQUID-crystal display (LCD) television sets use LCD technology to produce images. LCD television sets are thinner and lighter than Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) of similar display size, and are available in much larger sizes. This combination of features make LCD sets more practical than CRTs for many roles, and as manufacturing costs dropped, their eventual dominance of the television market was all but guaranteed.
LCD TV sets are quickly displacing the only major competitors in the large-screen market, the plasma display panel and rear-projection television sets. LCDs are, by far, the most widely produced and sold television technology today, pushing all other technologies into niche roles. In spite of the LCD’s many advantages over the CRT technology they displaced, LCDs also have a variety of disadvantages. A number of other technologies are vying to enter the large-screen television market by taking advantage of these weaknesses, including OLEDs, FED and SED, but none of these have entered widespread production.
