This is one of the most underrated channels on youtube

[@RazzleBloq]

Very true

[@sadiqueruddra5856]

Really.

[@sinpi314]

Agree

[@labgrownhumanbrain]

this guy just gained 20k subscribers in like a day, i guess the algorithm decided to bless him cause that segmented displays video has almost 900k views now

[@monika.alt197]

This channel is like technology connections but narrated by a Dutch(?) person

[@DarkWafflesOfDoom]

Great video! You have really good production. Everything from the music, cinematography, and your voice makes the experience really wonderful. I really look forward to your future videos! Please keep making them!

[@PosyMusic]

Thank you :)

[@akshatshaw8030]

True 😊

[@mrkitty777]

Stel je voor dat je in het dagelijks leven ook zo klinkt 🤔 Imagine if you sound amazing like this in daily life. Groeten uit Nederland!

[@challengegravity]

Agreed! I only recently found this channel and I'm absolutely loving it. It's so unique, interesting, calming, and fun. I love knowing how things work and this channel makes it feel effortless and enjoyable! Even Posy's accent and voice is a bonus, and if it wasn't for such engaging topics I could fall asleep to it :D I'm definitely go through and watch all this channel's videos while I work.

My alarm clock for the past 15 years has been a simple LCD clock, specifically a westclox 47539. It is always on and only takes 2 AAAs every 3 years. It never misses an alarm and will beat the reliability of a phone or plug in clock. If I didn’t use the alarm or backlight button I’m sure it would last 10 years easily

[@SenorBolsa]

I actually remember pimping my calculators like that in middle school, inverted, and the tape trick I discovered accidentally when taping some bits of colored plastic together for the colors. my magnum opus had every other digit inverted on one of those big display calculators you could get at the drug store with a backlight.

[@clementpoon120]

Oh man, I was shocked when find out that even music was created by yourself. Your videos deliver highest possible level of satisfaction. Your videos is a truly piece of artwork.

This is genuinely the first time I have understood how polarizers work even after having watched multiple videos specifically on it. Thank you so much for the explanation. That demo you did while holding the light actually worked perfectly for me. Awesome stuff

[@costynvd]

Great video! Well explained, great props and lighting, and of course amazing music. Please keep making them! I don't understand why you don't have more views!

[@PosyMusic]

Thank you :)

[@nomaschalupas2453]

for some reason that cyan back light is the most mesmerizing type of glow to me specifically because of growing up when watches started using them.

[@DJignyte]

Oh man, how the time has gone by. I swear you head only around 6 or 7 thousand subs last year when I left my comment. Now look at you, 213 thousand! I'm so happy for you, Posy! The love is well and truly deserved.

With as much effort put into your videos, it's surprising how underrated you are. More people need to see this!

Yo brotha, I still can't believe how underrated your channel is, you consistently blow our minds in just the perfect way by matching it with the perfect tune. I love it

[@MisterFoxton]

I was so engrossed in the 20th century-ness on display in this video I started to marvel at the colour LCDs at the end and wondered how that could even work... while staring at my LCD monitor with billions of colours displayed.

[@garycullen8110]

Excellent video! The first field effect watch, the Gruen Teletime, was first offered for sale in the fall of 1972 in the USA. The first Teletime FE displays were by Ilisco, produced well into 1973 then replaced by a more reliable display by Beckman.

[@PosyMusic]

Thank you :) I actually wasn't really aware of another naming 'field effect', that's why I never mentioned that in the video..

I'm in love with your music.

[@thirstyCactus]

I noticed that static electricity could activate LCD elements when I was a wee lad, messing with LCD screens I had removed from cheap calculators and watches whilst watching TV. If The LCD got close to the CRT, I could select different segments with my finger along the edge of the LCD panel. Neat stuff!

[@GinaMarieGuyette]

[@TheCORC964]

Holy shit! This channel is awesome!

[@paulsaulpaul]

2:22 - fun fact: if you add a third polarizer to this configuration (perpendicular polarizers), it will stop blocking light and then allow some of it through. Quantum. edit: third polarizer should be diagonal.

[@gtbkts]

Thanks for the awesome content!!

[@user-pv8cw6xi5p]

After watching this pretty series, I came to appreciate TN LCD displays more and bought myself a Casio watch.

[@prabhatthakur2812]

Great bro 👍 really well explained.

[@bobmcbob4399]

Posy - my guess on the multi colour dot matrix displays are that each pixel in the display gets applied a particular voltage to activate the twist of the TN a certain amount only. Instead of 100% VCC, it is an analogue scale voltage applied depending on the desired colour. This partial twist rotates the light a certain amount, yielding the desired colour. You can see these colour changes in this video when you rotate the films.

[@geoffreyguez]

Hello, I just discovered your channel and really enjoy your content ! How does a big old 7 segment clock that can be found in train stations work ? (They are generally fluorescent yellow) ? It looks like it is mechanic but I can't manage to catch the movement

[@BleachWizz]

7:20 - is this effect that one who tells you even if the light is blocked by the polarizers it still can go through the plastic? I thought the 3rd medium had to be in between but this looks so weird!

I actually never knew anything about the physics behind lcds. I thought they were simple and had nothing in specialty. This channel has the ability to make an entire dictionary for a grain of sand

[@Kriszzzful]

KZbin recommended me your mouse cursor video. After that I clicked on your channel and binge watched, which is how I ended up here. I am not trying to brag or anything, but I think I single handedly pushed your magical youtube algorithm score through the roof. I know, but no problem. But you can buy me coffee once you become a multi million dollar youtube channel.

[@galaxytrio]

That exceeded my expectations.

[@MarsCorporations]

2:00 I think polarizers work exactly the opposite way. Light wants to move electrons (along the axis of oscillation) if it hits something. Between two parallel bars, electrons cannot move, so the light passes through without doing anything. Perpendicular to that, electrons can move (inside the bars, up and down), so the light will be absorbed.

[@michaelshultz2540]

1 light is not electrons .2 your theory is also a bit wrong. Because if you take two polarized filters and turn them at right angle to each other so as to block all light then place a third filter in front of them and turn it to a right angle the light will then pass through. Very spooky. How can all light be blocked then be unblocked by a third filter? Come up with an answer and you will get the physics prize of the day.

[@MarsCorporations]

​@@michaelshultz2540 1. You are correct, but I never stated that "light is electrons". 2. My theory has nothing to do with the stuff you wrote, why should it be wrong? And for your answer: it is quite easy 1. A photon has some polarization before hitting the first filter. When hitting the filter, it has two options: 1. get absorbed, 2. pass through and adjust the polarization according to the filter. If the 2nd filter is at 90° (in relation to the first one), the photon will also hit the second filter at 90° and will be absorbed everytime -> no light passes. 2. (You are wrong, if you put the 3rd filter "in front" of two filters that already cancel all the light, the combination will also cancel all the light.) What you mean is: Put the 3rd filter between the two filters, so you have 45° between 1&2 and 2&3. Then (cos(45°)^2)^2=25% of the light will pass through. I do not need a physics price, I already have a physics degree, very spooky indeed. Also: before you comment, read wikipedia or google: "wire-grid polarizer". It even has images, so you dont need to actually read.

[@Western-spy]

@@MarsCorporations Well played!

[@vi-ic6vb]

this was very entertaining

[@7N_GA]

2:05 bruh what was that sound?

[@oldiegoodman]

I'd love to see you comparing the lcds of different iterations of the gameboy

[@Ucceah]

there is one more odd type of lit LCD, not mentioned here. i've only ever seen it on the polar FT1 heart rate watch. it looks like a normal LCD, with a blue-ish tint to the black segments. but when side-lit by the yellow LED, the segments themselves "reflect" the light, and seem to glow.

[@dilipdas5777]

Also used in casio fx 991 es plus and 82es plus calculator

[@kruty]

So cool ! Nice video. Shame youtube for the bad quality of your macro shots. Anyway, i'm playing with some scotch tape now,... awesome...

[@NF30]

8:45 WOW I was absolutely shocked to see a model of weather station that I had for three years in this video! And that's a much more clear image than I could ever take of mine. No matter what I did, there was always some loss of legibility towards the top or bottom of the screen whenever I took a picture of it.
