The DSM LCD (like) you've never seen 

"This unit has passed the test of time well. After all, it's 45 years old" *proceeds to cut it open Golden comedic timing.

2 years late but just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this film. You have a wonderful ability to bring all the elements together.

Everyone sees the immediate quality of your videos, but things go a layer deeper when they realize... you compose the soundtrack too. Outstanding. Absolutely mind-blowing.

You should clearly have 1000x as many subs as this...

This is some of the most exceptional educational video I've ever seen. Subbed, and I'm going to share your channel around. You're magnificent and have amazing cinematography.

This content is criminally underrated. I've been plugging this to my friends to the point where they're annoyed by me. The music is the best part. It reminds me of Mogwai's Atomic for reasons I can't accurately describe.

I love to find someone with as much talent as you. The artistry of those colored LCD shots was a shock and I DID watch it for those 4+ minutes. Not only did I find a RU-vid subscription, but a Spotify one as well. Thank you for taking the time.

I stared at a calculator screen for 4 minutes, but for some reason, I'm not mad about it. the production quality of this was amazing I love your work man!

Was saddened at how compression was ruining it when I realized it was playing in 480p. When I switched to 4k, holy crap. Superb video!

I feel offended on behalf of those stunning macros you shot that anyone might consider skipping them. Also, you're a great storyteller, you blend educational value with fun and art. Very unique style, glad I found this channel, I'll spread the word. :)

6:52 I would unironically use this as a wallpaper on my computer. This looked fantastic, thanks for providing this much information in such a lovely made video (or film?) I was unironically dumbfounded when you said "45 years old..." and you started cutting it 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Oh my goodness it has been 8 months :o The production value in this video is off the charts, great work!

Your commentary is very well written and comprehensible, but somehow it manages to make this technology seem even more like some kind of magic.

Stunning video! I could imagine the pulsing effect comes from the LCD being driven with a biased squarewave, basicly flipping the electrical polarity to avoid permanent polarization of the liquid crystal.

Seriously impressed by the production values of this informative and educational series. Thoroughly enjoyed finding out about LCDs and how they work!

Thank you for thi excellent video! I've always wondered how the DSM LC displays work and until recently never seen in a video. But this just blew my mind! By the way, there is (or has been) a similar display made in recent years - Sharp Memory LCD, especially the PNLC type. The technology is different but a similar look is achieved - looks like a white (diffused) pixel on mirror background. All that without polarizers!

There it is, the perfect RU-vid video. Narration, topic, shots, lighting, closeups, story and music. All the work you put into this really paid off, an impressive and exciting watch. Hats off to you good sir, great work!

Can we also just appreciate how far video compression technologies have come? RU-vid has upped their game so much this would have looked quite noise a few years ago. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thanks, I didn't know that the best way to create psychedelic images is to film really close an old calculator. "You've been staring at a calculator screen for almost 4 minutes now" yeah I know and I want an hour video of this now

The cinematography, the visuals, the narration, the voice, the choice of words, the music, with a pinch of comedy. This the work of an amazing mind. So mesmerizing.

Congratulations on a splendidly produced video & soundtrack! Heartening to find others who appreciate this particular display tech cul-de-sac. Having a - slightly too large - collection of calculators that use COS/DSM displays I was a little distressed to see the EL-808 getting the Dremel treatment - even if it is a fairly common model... Another COS calculator model, the sharp EL-805 was notable for not only being the first pocket LCD calculator, but also for the extended glass substrate of the LCD being a circuit board on which all the ICs were mounted. This was a kind of chip-on glass-technology decades ahead of its time. Slightly bizarrely it was also manufactured by Elektronika in the USSR as the Б3-04 - presumably under license from Sharp. Please do not Dremel any of these - they are RARE! :) I see others have noted the sadly short lived Sharp PNLC LCD..- here are a couple more links. Sharp also produced a larger version used on the back of the 6228 cell phone sold only in Japan - it is even rarer than EL805s... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eAoC818Mxy4.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nGiYUq_Pd4U.html

There's something so retro-ish about the production. Like one of those educational films you'd see in school. Love it.

The RU-vid compression does not do this justice. These are beautiful.

Completely forgot I subscribed to this, very nice surprise. So glad you made more :)

I’m glad your segmented displays video was recommended to me, having a great time watching the backlog - you clearly deserve the exposure :)

I almost cry watching this beauty. You make me see LCDs as some kind of "microscopic organic live art" or something, i am really shocked.

5:55 Me: *Vibing the background music *video cuts to the cutting machine clip Me: 😴 -> 😫

This gave me some serious 'Secret Life of Machines' vibes, and I love it. What spectacular cinematography and perfectly paired wondrous music, and for a subject I'm deeply fond of: Old electronics. Thank you so very much for crafting this piece of art, Mr. Posy.

Watching these videos bring me pure joy. Please don't stop making them.

Your music, paired with the visuals at around 6:56 was absolutely hypnotizing, it gave me goosebumps

Super impressed you made an entire album to accompany this video. This entire piece is good vibes.

by far one of the best informative and curiosity videos I've seen in a while, I'm currently binge watching the entire channel. These LCD are awesome, thanks for that man

This is one of my all-time favourite videos.... I love the blend of art and education, the quality of the filming, the subject matter and the soundtrack. I could happily watch stuff like this for hours.

This is without a doubt, the most valuable channel I've subscribed for a long while. Such good narration.

I just discovered your channel, and this was the first video I watched. The images you captured here are absolutely incredible. Thank you very much for this.

The best video I have ever seen on RU-vid and that's just the beginning. The information is the best. I work on quartz watches. Never seen anything like your work. Thank you.

My man... that was one of the most exceptional videos I've ever seen. Considering the subject matter, that could have easily been botched to hell. But I stayed to the very end. The music, the narration, the whole thing. Really, really good. Thank you so much. That must have taken a lot of effort, but you made it look easy and seamless. Bravo 👍

I have to say that it’s the first time someone says in a video “…continues at …” and I cant skip it. That lcd zoom was amazing, I instantly became addicted to it, simply beautiful

Sharp actually STILL makes DSM LCDs. Some of the smaller "memory LCDs" from them exhibit this mirror/diffused transition. For example the LS013B4DN04

Love it! beautifully presented and a great look into the history of our electronics. You have a great artistic eye and an appreciation for the path we forge.

Such amazing camerawork, music, narration, information, etc... I love this channel

Posy: "Let's just push the limit a little further" *Two seconds later* RU-vid compression algorithm: *aahhhAAAHHHH*

This is some of the most relaxing content I've ever watched. I could listen to you talk about anything.

This is one of my favourite videos! I always come back to this :> thank you posy

Never stop being who you are, Posy. I love what you do so much, its fucking beautiful and inspiring.

Such a high quality production it's crazy. , I'm so happy I found you channel

your voice is soooo nice to listen to, and combined with the awesome music and stunning macro visuals, these videos are a treat for the senses. many thanks for making these awesome videos!

That voice is so calming and grasping, I almost fell asleep staring at the screen. This is some hight quality stuff right here

idk why i watched 12 minutes about LCD display, but I loved every second of it, the cinematography, the voice, worth it.

I'm so glad I ran into your channel. Mesmerising voice and really cool and soothing videos!

Just discovered this, everything has been said in these comments. Magnificent visuals, sublime music (found you on Apple Music and am very curious to listen to more tracks), plus it shows and explains LCDs in a… ok, enough superlatives. But yeah, so great! Thank you! Oh, and that Segmented Segments album (2022), I also love the picture there with artistic and colourful LCDs. 😀

How this Channel has passed me by !? Insane editing, shots, vulgarisation, etc... Then WTF, you composed youreself this beautiful soundtrack! You're a beast

I’ll happily wait if the content is this good! You have a real knack for video making/narration 10/10.

love the music in this, as well as the documentary itself! great work!!

You’re *so good at this*, and your music 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

My DSM watch featured in this awesome film sadly isnt wearable anymore. Display failed. Thank god this amazing video was made.

This is an incredibly good video. I discovered you last night, and I'm really happy I kept your page up. I've watched several of your videos so far, and each one is fantastic.

I’m on a binge. This is god tier content. Just wow.

For years and years I have been trying to understand how LCDs work, and you explained it perfectly in just a few minutes! I don't know why I haven't heard of your channel earlier. Great Work!

I am delighted with your videos. They are very well made and hypnotizing. Congratulations!

This is honestly some of the best content on RU-vid. The quality is so good in every aspect and the music is fantastic. Amazing work

Incredible work, beautiful footage Hope to see your channel explode in viewer count sometime soon!

The music is so beautifully fitting and the content is awesome. Thank You.

i thought i was on a LSD trip at times with the music and the visuals. absolutely incredible work!

Incredible video! Your channel is such good blend of design, art, engineering.

The music adds this kind of dark, myterious, enclosed atmosphere I enjoy in some documentaries, it does add a big source of interest

your videos are a gold mine. The algorithm blessed me with your segmented display video, hopefully it keeps recommending people your videos.

this is just amazing. the camerawork. I don't know what else to say.

Amazing production on your videos! That was very entertaining, educational and most of all - beautiful!

omfg WHY IS THIS SERIES NO GOING VIRAL YET??????? It's so interesting and so well made!! Thanks!!

I love the soundscapes you create in your videos, they have caused me to subscribe

The quality of these videos is just phenomenal. This is the kind of level I'd expect on a high quality TV broadcast documentary.

This is some high quality content. I'm so glad I found this. Great job man!

Your videos are so calm and cool to watch So informative but laid back All the footage is absolutely amazing too

I had never known how complex and beautiful LCD displays truly were. After the development of LED and OLED, LCD was seen as "archaic," and hasn't been used on most important displays since. I really wish DSM was used more. Honestly, for something as cool as a transparent clock, I think I'd give the extra money required to keep such a clock running. Amazing video! I love the production quality; this is not something you'll usually see.

I looked at desktop calculators that ran on mains power at a trade show in 1970, they had NIXIE tubes and cost over a thousand dollars which was a lot of money then. The annual salary of a factory worker was something like $60 per week. In those days we used slide rules and log books which was a PITA. I owned a hand held calculator in 1975 (ten digits) which had an electroluminescent display. In my opinion, the worst calculator was the Sharp Elsi-Mate which only displayed 4 digits at a time and alternated with the other digits and cost something like $300.

Your video actually hypnotized me i was so focused on it. Amazing content.

I think I've just found a new favourite youtube channel. Love this guy's style, editing, music.

INCREDIBLY amazing production quality. Very very nice!

oh my god, your video and cinematography is so good, i know you posted this 3 years ago but i just dozed off listening and watching this

I fell in love with your channel! Also, I'm enchanted with the closeups. So utterly mesmerising.

Your vids are simply amazing! I really enjoyed the music going along with the exquisite visuals

I too find fascination and joy in mundanity and the microscopic. Your calm and well-humoured delivery give your vids such an ambiance and draw - why did it take me so long to find you? subbed

You are an underrated channel!! Your voice is relaxing, great audio quality, and great informative vids!!

I'm so glad I was recommended this channel.. Amazing teaching skills and very entertaining! Thank you :)

How can this exquisite bit of art have so few views? The aesthetic, the polish, the quirks. And the beauty of those LCDs. How such a mundane thing could be such a source of beauty. Please keep making things.

The music in this was absolutely phenomenal. Great work, and you've definitely earned a subscription from me!

wow wow wow, the algorithm has blessed me today. What an incredible experience of a video, I am truly blown away. Thank you for putting the time and effort into create this masterpiece!

Between the awesome topic and your voice im so in awe with your channel

This is one of the coolest videos i have legit ever seen on RU-vid, the music made it a real experience too! Your videos continue to amaze me!

you sir are an INCREDIBLE musician. i loved the music equally as much as the video!

Wow, this was some of the best video production I've seen in a long time. Pure art. Glad I decided to get curious about more details on this technology and found this..

Something about the combination of narration, music, and visuals of your videos makes them completely hypnotizing to me. I haven’t really found anything else quite like them.

You deserve million subs for sure! Thank you for sharing this with us for free!

This is brilliant! Artistic and intriguing! An astonishing piece of Video Art.

This is amazing! Enjoy it so much! I will definitely go watch all the LCD series!

Your videos are amazing and I love them, the music and sound videos are my favorite and are very inspiring

This was excellent :) the music, the mosaics, and the muse behind the camera, all truly enjoyable!

i'm usually not one for video essays, but your style is really super cool. reminds me of those older relaxing historical documentaries

When I heard the Dutch come out it had me rolling. It's so funny how different your narration voice is compared to your normal speaking voice. Amazing video! I've been binging some of your content the past two weeks. It's always been a ride so far.
