In most L.C.D. devices, the layer of liquid crystals, about 5 microns thick (a human hair is about 100 microns wide), is between two layers of plastic or glass, both of which are covered with a layer of transparent electrodes, and two alignment layers; each alignment layer orients the liquid crystal molecules in a fixed direction.
