Although previously reported switchable liquid crystals have been limited to only nematic phases, this study revealed that even the alignment of chiral nematic phases could be controlled using ...

A researcher at the University of Tsukuba develops a method for creating optically active polymers using a helical liquid crystal template, which may allow for future computer and TV displays to ...

Holographic polymer films have emerged as a versatile platform where interference patterns are stored via photopolymerisation in photosensitive matrices. When these films are integrated with liquid ...

Researchers in the United Kingdom have developed a smart window that combines switchable polymer-dispersed liquid crystal ...

A super flexible liquid crystal (LC) device has been developed, in which two ultra-thin plastic substrates are firmly bonded by polymer wall spacers. Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a ...

A new technique to change the structure of liquid crystals could lead to the development of fast-responding liquid crystals suitable for next generation displays—3-D, augmented and virtual reality—and ...

A research team from Huazhong University of Science and Technology published a study in the Chinese Journal of Polymer Science on April 10th, 2024, detailing a significant breakthrough in the ...

In spite of their more recent commercialization, the discovery of liquid crystals dates back to the late 19th century to two European scientists, Austrian German Otto Lehmann and Friedrich Reinitzer.

Researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology demonstrated a breakthrough in holographic polymer nanocomposites using the liquid crystal E6M. This method marks a major breakthrough in ...
