characteristic of cholesteric liquid crystal structures. An interesting manifestation of this suggested structure is the unusually anisotropic swelling of these films. Films plasticized with a ...

LCNPs can also be incorporated into polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films for smart windows and privacy screens. LCNPs are promising candidates for controlled drug delivery and theranostic ...

Liquid-crystal-on-silicon-based televisions are available ... the cost of large LCDs made from thin-film transistors (TFT LCDs) had plummeted. Over the past decade TFT-LCD prices have dropped ...

We find that disordered liquid crystal films with electro-optic effect provide an excellent platform for the generation and regulation of branched flow of light," Dr. Chen told Phys.org.

The type of liquid crystal display (LCD) modules defines how the display will look. It defines the character, the background color, and the character to background contrast. Types include twisted ...

After watching [Ben Krasnow]’s efforts to build a liquid crystal display ... so it is blocked by the second piece of polarizing film in the display. Besides getting the right crystals and ...

and on understanding the textures and phase transitions of freely-suspended liquid crystal films, including the interactions and ordering behavior of topological defects and islands and the 2-D ...

It’s a 10 foot by 90 foot LCD display that uses 6 inch square glass panels containing the same liquid crystals you’d find in a calculator. The display/installation is called Patterned by ...

What do you get when you combine a team of scientists, a jet of crystals, a giant laser beam firing X-rays, a synchrotron ...

As ordinary liquid crystal displays employ transistors to control the brightness of each pixel, a flexible display would require a flexible thin-film transistor (TFT) that could operate in a ...

Liquid crystal science and applications now permeate almost all segments of the society—from large industrial displays to individual homes and offices. Nondisplay applications in nonlinear optics, ...
