Liquid crystals are all around us, from cell phone screens and video game consoles to car dashboards and medical devices. Run an electric current through liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and they ...

We discovered that mixtures of anil nematic liquid crystal compounds resulted in materials that had a wide nematic range, making possible practical electronic display devices.

Check out the latest liquid-crystal display monitors. They come big-screen (19-plus inches) with high-resolution (at least 1,600- by 1,200-pixel) flat panel displays. They don't come cheap, but ...

How Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Display (ChLCD) Works Cholesteric liquid crystal (ChLCD) e-paper display, on the other hand, comes with a three-layer structure.

New research combines liquid crystals with metallic metasurfaces in a two-layer design, enabling electrically and thermally switchable displays and security features with superior color control.

Scientists at IBM have developed a process that aligns the liquid crystals used in many computer displays without the need for abrasive rubbing, promising to cut manufacturing costs and improve ...

The researcher outlines the applications of liquid crystal materials in the field of visualisation outside of displays in recent years. These liquid crystal-based devices are capable of changing ...

Technical Terms Liquid Crystal Monomers (LCMs): Synthetic organic chemicals used in the production of liquid crystal displays, noted for their persistence, bioaccumulative potential and toxicity.

Researchers have developed a novel way for liquid crystals to retain information about their movement. Using this method ...

New research from the U of A could lead to an inexpensive, at-home COVID-19 test that uses liquid crystals to deliver results in less than two minutes.
