The LCD works with two polarized filters that are oriented at 90 degrees. One on top and one on the bottom. Then in the center of these two filters is where the liquid crystal is or in shorter words (LC). Then on top and below the LC is where two other films are. On top of that there is transformed electrodes. ...
