This paper reviews the present status and art of liquid crystal displays. It discusses the
fabrication and operational principles of dynamic scattering, twisted nematic, guest-host, dye …

Essentially there are two variational theories of liquid crystals explained in this book. The
theory put forward by Zocher, Oseen and Frank is classical, while that proposed by Ericksen …

Presents readers with the basic science, technology, and applications for every type of
adaptive lens An adaptive lens is a lens whose shape has been changed to a different focal …

We present a novel surface-controlled bistable nematic liquid crystal display. This black and
white device uses simple monostable planar anchorings and a dielectrically positive …

In this paper, we promote a new polymer microsphere-filled cholesteric-liquid crystal (PFLC)
system sandwiched between two flexible substrates for making a robust composite film with …

In this work, we describe the synthesis of novel electrically and magnetically dual-driven
Janus particles for a handwriting-enabled twisting ball display via the microfluidic technique …

Bistable technology has played a vital role in the development of optical elements. Bistable
technology enables zero power consumption unless the optical state needs to be changed …

The work demonstrates a polarizer-free bistable reflective electro-optical switch that is based
on dichroic dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystal (DDCLC). Bistable opaque and transparent …

A large series of complexes has been synthesized with two chelating, Schiff base
azobenzene derivatives connected linearly by coordination to a central nickel (II) or …

The authors present a bistable nematic device, using a fourfold symmetrical bidirection
nanometer-scale surface grating fabricated by the nanoimprinting lithography. The bistability …
