IPS = "In=Plane Switching"
glass surface - protects the layers below. The glass may be smooth and glossy or it can be etched so that it provides both anti-glare effects as well as some physical texture or a drawing tablet pen
Front polarizing filter - polarizes light in the other direction (i.e. horizontally)
Color filter glass substrate - r,g,b filters aligned to the sub-pixels in the TFT glass substrate. Light going up from here now have color
Liquid crystal layer - Controls which subpixels can be seen by selectively controlling what light below passes through.
TFT glass substrate - thin sheet of glass with microscopic circuitry with sub-pixels, light from below passes up through layer.
Rear polarizing filter - polarizes light in one direction (i.e vertically)
Diffuser and Prism films
Light Guide Plate - Evenly distributes the light from the BLU across the entire screen
Backlight Unit (BLU) - LED lights provide illumination
