ISP Information:
A slab of specially treated glass which is used to sandwich liquid crystal. You can then send electricity through the treated glass to change the phase of the liquid, which then changes color. This technology requires a separate light source, usually a flourescent light, to be easily visible to the user.
ISP Glossary:
Liquid Crystal Display Panel - In article , busbar@pacbell.net says... Real or imagined, it's possibly related to a fire-alarm panel false trip at Haddam Neck in 1997. http://www.hanford.gov/lessons/sitell/ll98/199805.htm "A camera flash triggered an EPROM microprocessor in a fire suppression system of a commercial nuclear plant causing Halon to discharge into and a subsequent evacuation of the control room."Interesting story. I wonder why they were so amazed that an EPROMwould be affected by a camera flash. This type of EPROM is designed tobe erased by exposure of the cicuitry to UV light. There is usually acomponent of UV light in most light sources.It is (I thought) standard practice to cover the window on these typeof EPROMs to prevent accidental erasure. At least, that's what I wastaught in school.Dave PhelpsDD Networkswww.ddnets.comdeadspam=tippenring
