Question

The stuff that the liquidcrystals are suspended in. If it is some strange chemical, is there some replacement for it that I could get? I want an electrolyte that doesn't "dissolve" when current us run through it.

Answer 1

LCD displays use a synthetic cholesterol as the "liquid crystal." That is the only compound in between the substrate layers. The thing that actually carries the current is a transparent conductor (usually a doped metal oxide, SnO2:F, ZnO:Al or SnO2:I are common).
