What are computer screens made of?

Question

I mean the actual SCREEN, where everything is shown onto.

THE SCREEN, MEANING THE PLASTIC-ISH THINGY THAT YOU CAN TOUCH. WHAT'S THAT MADE OF, NOT HOW EVERYTHING'S SHOWN!

Answer 1

CRTs:

A thin semi-conductive coating. (Anti-reflective)
Possibly a very thin plastic film.
High lead glass
Doped phosphors. (doped to produce different coloured light)
Vacuum


LCDs:
A thin semi-conductive coating
A polarizing filter
A thin glass sheet
Coloured filters
A brushed polyamide plastic layer
Liquid crystal material and spacers to keep the LC
Another brushed polyamide plastic
Amorphous silicon glass with thin-film transistors and circuits to drive the panel.
Another polarizing filter
A light guide for the backlight.

Answer 2

A computer screen is made up of three primary colors of pixels. Pixels are also what make up your TV screen, your portable DVD screen. Basically, if it is an electronic screen, it has pixels. You may have heard the word "megapixel" been used on digital cameras. That simply means that it has over 1,000,000 pixels. The higher amount in a screen the higher the quality. Pixels are so small as to be invisible to the unassisted eye, though. The three main colors of pixels are blended onto a mesh screen to get multiple colors and then those colors are displayed in front of you.
