Less than 60 seconds an ATOT responds.

Didn't everybody have a super cool LCD watch way back? I mean it was the next big thing - having an LCD watch. If you were lucky it was back lit and you could see your LCD watch in the dark.

OMG! how cool is that!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's wrong too. AFAIK, an LCD is not a diode of any kind.

If anyone actually read the post, i wasnt actually asking what LCD stood for, i already knew that it stood for liquid crystal display, and i learned that it also stood for liquid crystal diode back in the day. I was just commenting on how funny it was that the teacher actually asked us if we knew what it meant. But whats more funny is that i was the only one in class to say the answer.

I don't know if anyone answered your question, but it stands for liquid crystal display.

a Light Emitting Diode is a completely different beast from an LED.
