Liquid Crystal Displays are utilised in the final manufacture of any electrical unit which incorporates a visual display panel, e.g. digital watch face, clock face, monitor screens on VDU, telephone systems, etc. The displays are made up of sandwiched glass plates encompassing an electrical circuit floating in a sensitive fluid. The sandwiched plates are usually flat packed on to a card sealed with shrink wrapping. Outer packing is in cardboard boxes with the cardboard holed pads packed ten to a carton, flat.
Damage can occur by impact, and as a result the glass fractures releasing the inner fluid which can be retained with the shrink pack wrapping, or alternatively, if that suffers damage will leak. Any form of breakage or impact renders the individual display unit a total loss.<loss>
The fluid contained in the liquid crystal displays is dangerous and must be handled very carefully to offset the possibility of contact with eyes, skin, etc. Disposal should be under controlled conditions as the liquid is a radio-active alkaline.
