Ditto, that was a good read... Now I have a better understanding why the LCD watch display works (and now the complexity of a full color iPhone screen becomes even more mindboggling), as in, how it goes from not-opaque to fully opaque by a change of electric charge.
For the longest time I had difficulty thinking of liquid flowing back and forth into each of those 'slots' in the watch face to form the numbers, but now I see it's just the charge telling those atoms to line up (guessing) into layers that effectively block light. Also explains why they look more 'transparent' when viewed at extreme angles, as it's like a crystal lattice in there - the atoms are arranged/aligned in one way.
