enhance lcd displays price

I’m hearing from some industry friends that LCD display panel prices are rising – which on the surface likely seems incongruous, given the economic slowdown and widespread indications that a lot of 2020 and 2021 display projects went on hold because of COVID-19.

On the other hand, people are watching a lot more TV, and I saw a guy at Costco the other day with two big-ass LCD TVs on his trolley. And a whole bunch of desktop monitors were in demand in 2020 to facilitate Work From Home. So demand for LCD displays is up outside of commercial purposes.

Continuing strong demand and concerns about a glass shortage resulting from NEG’s power outage have led to a continuing increase in LCD TV panel prices in Q1. Announcements by the Korean panel makers that they will maintain production of LCDs and delay their planned shutdown of LCD lines has not prevented prices from continuing to rise.

Panel prices increased more than 20% for selected TV sizes in Q3 2020 compared to Q2, and by 27% in Q4 2020 compared to Q3, and we now expect that average LCD TV panel prices in Q1 2021 will increase by another 9%.

If the LCD contrast is too low, it is hard to read. Different applications have different contrast requirement. For normal reading, the contrast needs to be >2; for medical, the contrast needs to be >10, for welding helmet, contrast should be >1,000.

The higher the efficiency, the better of the LCD contrast . It is especially important for negative display. Change from 98% to 99.9% polarizer, the contrast can increase from 45 to over 1000 for negative LCD, but for positive LCD, the contrast increases from 7 to 10 for positive LCD.

Positive LCD to Negative LCD (When the LCD is used indoor or dark environment, The contrast will increase a lot, but it will not display well with ambient light only, it is also more expensive)

You may own the most expensive photo equipment and have the latest array of software for tweaking your images, but it’s all for naught if you haven’t quite figured out the fundamentals of how to put together a well-balanced composition. Creating a harmonious photographic composition is not easily accomplished or learned. With today’s sophisticated digital cameras sporting high quality LCD monitors, each photo you make is instantaneously presented to you with zoom capabilities, histograms, shutter speed, etc. The trick is to embrace this technology. If not, you have overlooked your best opportunity to create and fine-tune your composition. The LCD monitor is the best and only feature your camera has that can actually aid you in framing up your next great photograph.

Back in the day of film, most of my commercial photography work was done using a large format View Camera. As a rule, when making a large format photograph, you would expose a 4/5 sheet of Polaroid instant print film to check your composition, lighting, object placement, etc., before loading your film and tripping the shutter. You would diligently check every square inch of the Polaroid making adjustments to the composition—too close or too far away, should I be a bit higher or maybe just a tad lower a bit to the right or left, lens choice, depth of field/aperture/shutter speed… By adopting this type of workflow, images could be refined one Polaroid at a time. When the composition is right in conjunction with the lighting, it’s time to pull out the film and make the photo. This workflow model fits perfectly with today’s digital cameras. The photographer now has instant feedback with every click of the shutter, just as the Polaroid did for large format photographers. Today, you can compose, shoot, check your LCD monitor, adjust, re-shoot, adjust, and re-shoot as many times as necessary until you feel comfortable with what is happening inside your camera’s viewfinder. In essence, you are becoming your own best critic each time you post up another shot.

Creating a good composition is a dynamic process just as are all creative endeavors. We all approach image making, interpretation, and expression of self differently, as we are unique individual seers. Creating a well-crafted composition takes time, patience, thought, consideration, experimentation, and of course, being at the right place at the right time. “Dynamic Mode”—relative to composition—is acting, interacting, and reacting to what is going on around and within you then reflecting, composing, fine-tuning, and finally capturing your image. If you are not working dynamically in conjunction with your LCD monitor when framing up your next photo, you are missing the mark! Hence, your efforts to stalk, capture, and display your trophy images will more than likely translate into a cliche or worse yet, mundane imagery.

When out scouting around for a photo op, I try to stay focused on light quality, shadows, color, or any other type of stimuli that will attract my attention and draw me in. When drawn to something that attracts or strikes a chord, approach the scene and begin a visual exploration, then check the scene in the viewfinder. The more deliberate you are while composing, the more intimate you will become with the physicality of the scene and its particular nuances. More times than not, if you are dynamically composing, you will intuitively be drawn into what the particular environment is emoting. You may very well discover what normally would have been passed by, due to the half-hazard “point and shoot” syndrome which should be avoided at all costs. There will be various aspects to consider when you are staking out your first compositional take. Make one compositional adjustment and see how it affects your overall composition. Continue no matter now many times you need to make adjustments until you are feeling confident about your image capture! Click, make your final assessment using the LCD monitor, then pack it up, and move on.
