responds to relative brightness or luminance
differences. Webers Law

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology blocking light rather than creating it.
Require less energy, emit less radiation.
Light-Emitting Diode (LED) and Gas Plasma
light up display screen positions based on
voltages at grid intersections.
Require more energy.

Step 1: Address
electrode causes
gas to change to
plasma state.
Step 2: Gas in
plasma state reacts
with phosphors in
discharge region.
Step 3: Reaction
causes each subpixel
to produce red, green,
and blue light.

Diodes
Free electrons moving across a diode fall into holes in the P-type
layer. This involves a drop from the conduction band to a lower
orbital, so the electrons release energy in the form of photons.
