The rapid and continuing growth on liquid crystal research is not only the result of the high success of liquid crystal display technology, but also because of the great potential for new and improved applications. This is a unique area of scientific research in which the joint …
The liquid crystalline state may be identified as a distinct and unique state of matter which is characterised by properties which resemble those of both solids and liquids. It was first recognised in the middle of the last century through the study of nerve myelin and derivativ…
The demand for liquid crystals with better display parameters and lower power consumption has stimulated much research into their properties and characterization. A large team of over 50 leading researchers from the USA, Europe and Japan have focused their expertise to extract a…
