Laptop screens are usually liquid crystal display, which is used in many everyday items these days, such as digital clocks and televisions. LCD screens are slimmer and weigh less than the alternatives, and mean that electronic equipment can be smaller and cheaper than used to be the case with earlier technology. Also, laptop screens tend to be in a similar range of sizes and it is the laptop screen that determines how big the laptop will be. Liquid crystal displays are fairly fragile and need to be looked after, as they have only a narrow layer above the liquid crystals to protect them. This is why the liquid crystals underneath can be damaged by rough handling or too much pressure when pointing something out on the screen, especially if using a sharp object such as a pencil or biro.
