LCD screens are those liquid-dy screens that you can depress with your fingers and it flows like liquid.


That is only if the cover is thin enough to bend. (Try pressing on an LCD digital watch. That won't usually affect the display.)

LCD screens can actually function the same way as a computer CRT terminal in the sense they are made up of some tiny dots and you can program the lcd screen to display any graphics you want - text is just one type of graphics.


It can have a uniform array of small dots, but that's not what makes it an LCD.

But a phone screen text displaying lines are fixed and you can't display graphics on a normal phone screen.

That just means that it's not a graphics display; it doesn't mean that it's not an LCD.

(In fact, consider digital watch displays again: most make digits out of large segments (as opposed to dots), but they are still LCDs.)
