Los ntawm muab khi rau hauv ib qho kev coj ua nrog ib tug flannel ntawm zaj duab xis kom sib npaug, ib qho txheej txheem ntawm LCD kua siv lead ua vaj huam sib luag tau tsim. Cov kua siv lead ua kua molecules nyob rau hauv cov txheej txheem sib dhos yuav muab tso rau ntawm qhov kev taw qhia, qhov ntawd yuav ua kom tau ib qho kev taw qhia. Kev cob qhia ntawm cov kua qaub tsim kua hlau molecules nyob rau sab qaum thiab tsawg ob nplooj ntawv yog 90 degree sib. Qhov no yog ib qho txuas nruab nrab ntawm kev siv ntawm lub sib tw-nematic (TN) kua siv ua kua. Lub hauv paus ntsiab lus ntawm kev sib tw ua ke tau debated, tab sis ib yam yog qee yam, uas yog, thaum cov kua siv lead ua kua molecules raug muab tso rau hauv kev taw qhia kev quab yuam, lub zog ntawm qhov system yog qhov qis, los yog cov kua tshuaj kua roj molecules ntawm cov txheej txheem yuav oscillate nyob rau hauv cov kev taw qhia ntawm tsawg kawg zog. Muab nws, qhov no lub zog hu ua anchoring zog. Raws li rau qhov kev tawm tsam ntawm kev sib txuam ntawm kev muab kev tso kawm, nws tuaj yeem raug suav hais tias yog los ntawm ob yam hauv qab no: Ua ntej, los ntawm kev sib txhuam, "ntse" tawm qhov ntom ntom thiab ntiav, qhov dav thiab nqaim grooves. Qhov xaus ntawm qhov zawj yog txawv, thiab yog hais tias qhov sib piv ntawm tus txheej txheem stencil yog siv, qhov zawj yog qhov dav thiab tob ntawm ib qho kawg thiab nqaim ntawm lwm kawg. Xws li trenches, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog trenches (nano-thiaj) nrog ib tug tsim nyog nplai ntawm cov kua siv lead ua kua molecules, yuav tsum muaj cov nyhuv ntawm cov kev sib tw ntawm kua siv lead ua molecules. Lwm cov kev xav yog qhov tshwm sim ntawm kev taw qhia ntawm cov qauv ntawm cov organic polymer rau cov kev qhia ntawm cov kua tshuaj lead ua kua molecules.
