Light enters the display, goes through a polarizer, and is twisted by a liquid crystal material. The first successful LCDs used two types of liquid crystals – chiral and nematic.

Scientists have created tiny disk-shaped particles that can swim on their own when hit with light, akin to microscopic robots ...

“Most liquid-crystal-based devices are made from single-layer structures, but this limits light-field modulation to a confined area,” Fan explains. “To realize more complex and functional modulation ...

In this case, the frames of the glasses has a small circuit that heats the lenses up to 36.5 °C (97.7 °F), which causes them to reflect those particular wavelengths of red light.

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...

Now, for the first time, Crystal Light has set their sights on sprucing up another clear liquid (that may, in some cases, also be found inside water bottles)—vodka!

"The quartz crystal is neither a solid nor a liquid. Its vibrates (sic) a 786,000 pulses per millisecond! Its continuum moves faster than light ...

Orientational Order: The liquid crystal molecules within LCNPs exhibit long-range orientational order, which can be controlled by external stimuli such as electric or magnetic fields, temperature, or ...

The Liquid Crystal is super thin and light, making it comfortable to hold. The back is soft and smooth, and the gently rounded edges will make the hard corners of the Galaxy S24 much more manageable.

Backlight: Provides light for the display.In most modern LCDs, LEDs are used as the light source. Liquid Crystal Layer: Comprises rod-shaped molecules that align to form a layer that can modulate ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2024.240039, discusses ultracompact and high-efficiency liquid-crystal-on-silicon light engines for AR glasses.
