is there a similar document for lcds?

now the only question remains what is this 300 millivac for crt and 1000 millivac for LCD that is being shown from the rad screen ground? is it spurious radiation?
The LCD monitor makes noise at 100khz for the power supply and RF noise from the display.
since everything is producing its own hum, then the bottom line is, is it worth it to use a rad screen esp if someone is working 8-9 hours in front of the screen? (as the ilo pdf n previous link shows the measured values too)
you have a spectrum analyzer of all things! goodness, can you please see if indeed lcds are producing more elf/vlf/rf than a crt like sony trinitron 21"? your inputs will be invaluable.
that should settle it.
As it would still be measuring 'nothing' then it's pointless - you can't measure any imagined 'radiation' in that way.
Why are you at all bothered about this?, it's obviously true that 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing'
Incidentally - the main 'fears' with CRT's were XRAY radiation, with TV's having circuitry to disable the set if the EHT goes too high (which could cause XRAY emissions)
I don't think the tests we are talking about will pick up a AC magnetic field. LCD monitors do not use magnetic fields to make the picture.
I think you should get large DC voltages by moving the shield closer or farther away from the monitor.
Your monitor has 25 to 30kV only a inch or two away from your shield. I think you should get readings on the meter just from static build up.
let me see if i've got this right... you're putting a conductive screen in front of the face of the CRT and you're measuring the voltage picked up by the screen? if so, then what you are picking up is capacitively coupled noise from the electron beam and it's beam current variations. since you are measuring this with instruments with high input impedance (10MEGohms for a standard DMM), very small currents are showing up as very high voltages, but very little energy is actually there. if you measure with an old-fashioned analog meter, i'm sure the voltages would show up as being MUCH lower. try putting a 10K resistor across the DMM input and see how much voltage develops across a "loaded" meter VS an (almost) open-circuit meter. i think you will find that these "huge" voltages are just a result of very tiny currents developing a voltage across a very large input impedance.
any small changes in the path that these leakage currents take to ground equals large changes in the voltage you are measuring.
If the LCD backlight is the fluorescent lamp type it has a high voltage supply and therefore creates an electrostatic field, which is probably what you are detecting at the screen via capacitive coupling.Now what is the1000 millivolts being shown on the LCD coming from?
