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.

An international research team from Russia, France and Germany has proposed a new method for orienting liquid crystals. It could be used to increase the viewing angle of liquid-crystal displays.

Liquid-crystal displays are helping manufacturers meet consumer demand for smaller, more portable products. Liquid crystals: Liquid-crystal displays are helping manufacturers meet consumer demand ...

A liquid crystal display consists of a number of layers, ... Rotating the outer polarizer of an LCD causes the display to show negative images (Photo: Gerd Kortemeyer. 4 / 10.

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 ...

This column recently discussed several advanced television displays, including liquid crystal displays (LCDs). As is true of all display types, LCDs have positive and negative attributes, but enough ...

To mitigate this issue, a common approach involves the use of upper polarizers for Anti-Glare (AG) surfaces with Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Adding a slight haze to ...

Liquid crystals are all around us, from cell phone screens and video game consoles to car dashboards and medical devices. Run an electric current through liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and they ...

A research group at Nagoya University in Japan has developed a method for processing cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) from living organisms, such as beetles, into spherical particles. This new ...
