   How did Heilmeier's liquid crystal display work?

   • Heilmeier’s liquid crystal displays used dynamic scattering method, or DSM, a process in which an electrical charge is applied, which rearranges the molecules so that they scatter light. These were replaced by an improved version, invented by James Fergason in 1969, which used the twisted nematic field effect of liquid crystals.
