By 1907, Germany-based Merck was selling "liquid and flowing crystal" chemicals. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other reproduction requires permission.

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 ...

Microdisplays based on liquid-crystal-on-silicon technology may soon gain wider recognition as they penetrate an increasing number of markets, ranging from electronic viewfinders to miniature data ...

After watching [Ben Krasnow]’s efforts to build a liquid crystal display, we can easily see why the suits thought what they did. It’s an amazing engineering feat. Before building his own ...

This change in orientation affects the light's ability to pass through the liquid crystal layer, enabling the display to produce images. An LCD consists of several layers, including two polarizing ...

However, expanding this to two-dimensional systems presented new challenges, including the risk of disruptions in the liquid-crystal patterns that would affect light behavior. To overcome this ...

The bifocal lenses are made from bilayer structures of liquid crystal (LC) cells and LC polymer. These lenses split light with a left-handed circular polarization (LCP) into two focused light ...

Achiral liquid crystal pathways enhance efficiency by 20% and stability three-fold, while chiral structures increase efficiency by 56% and stability 50 times, offering promising prospects for ...
