Researchers have developed a liquid crystal lens that blocks triggering wavelengths of light without ruining the moviegoing ...

Dispersion is added to fill in an important gap in most treatments of cholesteric liquid crystals. In Chapter 6, we explore the fundamentals of liquid crystals for electro-optics and display, and ...

Revolutionary glasses have been engineered to shield individuals from seizure-inducing light, offering a potential new layer of safety for epilepsy patients during daily tasks and entertainment. Peopl ...

A bistable LCD screen that retains its image without power. Cholesteric LCDs use nematic liquid crystal molecules in a layered, spiral formation (chiral nematic), and power is only required to ...

The internal structure of LCNPs is characterized by the self-assembly of liquid crystal molecules into ordered domains, such as nematic, smectic, or cholesteric phases, depending on the specific ...

By adding a small amount of a homochiral molecular motor to a unidirectionally aligned cholesteric liquid crystal, the helical organization of the sample is determined. When exposed to ultraviolet ...

In 1888, liquid crystals were identified by Austrian botanist Friedrich Reinitzer and German physicist Otto Lehmann. Studying the cholesterol in carrots using a temperature-controlled polarizing ...

2024.102158 The lenses themselves consist of cholesteric liquid crystals, or CLCs. Because CLCs are highly responsive to temperature changes and electric fields, they're used in anti-counterfeit ...
