It's funny when you look back on technology and see what developed first. Monitors used to have a giant vacuum tube, a high voltage electron gun, and electro-magnets wiggling the beam around to slam into phosphors. Seems an unlikely contraption, compared to LCD.

The explanation in both cases is that the real advance is in the production of the materials, which isn't visible in the finished product. I sometimes feel that materials science is the only real driver of change, everything else is just reacting to it.

Parts or artifact or design complexity vs. production complexity.

yeah, if you asked me to fabricate a CRT I'd at least have a vague idea of where to start. LCD... nope, too many tools-to-build-the-tools.
