← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a strong static electric field is applied to a liquid crystal display (LCD)?
A)Molecular alignment alters light polarization✓
B)Chemical degradation via dielectric breakdown
C)Electromagnetic interference disrupts adjacent circuits
D)Thermal expansion induces mechanical stress
💡 Explanation
When a strong static electric field aligns the LCD's liquid crystal molecules, there occurs a change in polarization because the molecules reorient themselves based on the field. Therefore, light polarization alters, rather than breakdown, interference, or stress, which require exceeding material limits or inducing unwanted currents.
