The liquid crystal display panel has pervaded in our lives. However, most people do not understand the structure and mechanism of a liquid crystal display panel. In this study, a simplified teaching program of making liquid crystal cells was developed to educate students about the mechanism of the liquid crystal panel. Students in this program separated the liquid crystal panel from an electronic calculator, to understand its structure. Thereafter, the student assembled a liquid crystal cell using conductive glass, liquid crystal, and polarizing plate. The program enhanced students’ understanding of not only the connection between science and technology but also the mechanism of the liquid crystal panel.
