A technician is troubleshooting a smartphone that has a large dark area on the screen. The screen has no damage to indicate that it is cracked. Which of the following BEST describes why a blot is on the screen?
Answer: D
You aren't correct. LCDs have a slightly different construction. They are made from tubes that hold the crystals. That is why your LCD is never totally black. It has a mild illumination that you can see in a dark room. These tubes can break and lose the liquid, so they can’t illuminate. That leads to dark spots that you can see even at night. And they are signs that you need to hurry up to fix the black spot on the LCD phone screen. This liquid will continue to spill and contaminate nearby pixels, and this spot will get bigger with time. So the answer is D.
