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 ...

Light enters the display, goes through a polarizer, and is twisted by a liquid crystal material. The first successful LCDs used two types of liquid crystals – chiral and nematic. By combining ...

This approach allows for the control of particle size and morphology by adjusting the emulsion parameters, such as the surfactant type and concentration, the liquid crystal-to-continuous phase ratio, ...

"This trend that we saw in improved performance through the liquid crystal phase versus the random fiber aggregation is general and can be applied to various types of organic solar cell materials ...

LCD technology utilizes the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers. These crystals do not emit light directly but use a backlight or reflector to produce images in ...

Liquid Crystals do not emit light themselves and ... This has become a common display type for mid-range to high-end phones. OLED & AMOLED utilizes 'organic' LEDs which emits light and in the ...

Microdisplays based on liquid-crystal-on-silicon technology may soon ... such as the scanning-mirror type from Microvision or those from Light Blue Optics that use their extremely clever ...

More than $2 billion has been spent over the past 15 years in trying to develop the technology and infrastructure behind liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCoS) displays. After a fitful start ...
