LCD, or liquid crystal display, is a common term used to refer to the display technology found in many electronic devices. However, there are several other terms that can be used synonymously with LCD. Some of these include flat-panel display, thin-film transistor display, and active-matrix display. Each of these terms describes a similar type of display technology that uses liquid crystals to produce images. Other alternative terms for LCD display technology include emissive display, passive matrix display, and organic light-emitting diode display. While each of these terms may have slightly different nuances or applications, they can all be used interchangeably with the term LCD to describe modern display technology.
