LCD	Liquid Crystal Display	A Liquid Crystal Display uses the light polarization properties of liquid crystals in an electric field to form images on a screen. LCDs use various construction variations to maximize the visual appearance of data. Some versions use Twisted Nematic Displays (TND), Thin Film Transistors (TFT), and colour filters. • One of ADAM's two screen variants uses a 10.1 inch, 16:9 format, colour TFT-LCD panel (while the other uses a 10.1 inch, 16:9 format, colour Pixel Qi transflective sunlight readable display).	2e – Display	Liquid crystal display on Wikipedia

Linux can be installed on a wide variety of computer hardware, ranging from mobile phones, tablet computers and video game consoles, to mainframes and supercomputers. Linux is free, open source, community-developed, reliable, and secure, and therefore often preferred to Windows, which isn’t. • ADAM’s Android OS has Linux at its core.	3a – All about Eden and Android	Linux on Wikipedia Criticism of Linux on Wikipedia
