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 crystal displays could soon be painted straight on to surfaces, using a technique currently being refined by researchers at Philips laboratories in the Netherlands. The process removes the need ...
The liquid crystals used in displays nowadays are usually in a nematic phase, i.e. a liquid-like state of almost parallel oriented molecules. However, there is another liquid crystal phase which has a ...
