We develop a bistable smart window based on mixture of negative dielectric nematic liquid
crystal, chiral dopant, and chiral ionic liquid (CIL). The developed smart window is driven by …

Selective laser melting (SLM) is a widely used additive manufacturing process that can be
used for printing of intricate three dimensional (3D) metallic structures. Here we demonstrate …

So far, monostable and bistable liquid crystal display (LCD) modes have independently
been researched and developed. The authors propose a tristate LCD that can be operated …

We demonstrate a fast-switching liquid-crystal mode with polymer-sustained twisted vertical
alignment. By optimizing the polymerization condition, a polymer microstructure with …

Homeotropic liquid crystal LC cell1 has been studied extensively for reflective-type
projection2, 3 and transmissivetype direct-view displays. 4, 5 A distinctive feature of a …

In this letter we demonstrate an inverse twisted nematic device in which the input polarized
light is unaffected in the field-off state and produces a polarization rotation in the field-on …

Dynamic electro-optic response of the liquid crystal (LC) director shows a backflow effect
that is manifested as an optical bounce in chiral nematic LCs (N* LC) during field-induced …

A homeotropic to twisted‐planar (HTP) structural transition is demonstrated in a
homeotropically aligned nematic liquid crystal with negative dielectric anisotropy. This HTP …

A dielectric thermal smart glass (DTSG) based on the dielectric heating optical (DHO) effect
in tunable helical polymer-based superstructures—cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs)—was …

In this study, we applied the non-contact photo-polymerisation method in fabricating pseudo-
polyimide (PI) liquid crystal (LC) devices with vertical alignment copolymer films, in the hope …
