BROKEN SCREEN IDENTIFICATION A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen is a multilayer complex component. Under the tough outer plastic layer, the glass sandwich beneath holds the LCD crystals in place, which are themselves suspended in fluid. In the unfortunate event of an accident, particularly a sharp localized impact, the glass will break. The tough plastic outer sheet on the surface of the glass keeps all the glass intact underneath, preventing shards from falling out.
