Aircraft pressure and LCD damage[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#22)

The cabins in commercial aircraft are "pressurized, but not completely, only to the equivalent of about 6000 feet when the plane is cruising at 30000 to 40000 feet. However, unless there is a sealed space within the LCD assembly, the pressures within and without will change together, and with no pressure difference accross the screen, no movement or damage should occur.

There is a vacuum-sealed component in an LCD display. (See elsewhere in this thread for more.)
