LCD Controller
An LCD Controller is a key component that manages how images and text appear on screens in electronic devices like computers, smartphones, and TVs. Think of it as the 'traffic director' that tells the screen what to display and how to display it. When this part fails, the screen might show wrong colors, flicker, or not work at all. This makes LCD Controller repair and replacement a common task in electronics repair jobs. Related terms include display driver, screen controller, or display controller board.
