Q
What is TN?
A
Twisted nematic. In this type of panel, when no electric current is running through the liquid crystal cells, the cells naturally align in a twisted form between two substrate panes of glass which blocks the transmission of light from the backlight. This renders the crystals opaque and results in a black display screen.
