How does Newton's optics relate to modern screens?

Answered in Isaac Newton's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My experiments with prisms revealed that white light is not a homogeneous entity but rather a composite of all the colors of the rainbow. This discovery of the spectrum of light and the nature of color is fundamental to understanding how light interacts with materials. Modern screens, whether they employ LEDs or other technologies, rely on the precise control and manipulation of light's properties—its intensity, color, and direction—principles that I first began to systematically investigate.
