Each cell in the LCD has electrical contacts that permit an electric field into the liquid present inside the LCD cell. The concept of liquid crystal display was first found out by Otto Lehmann in ...

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.

Chemists have constructed liquid crystals with optical properties that can be instantly and reversibly controlled by an external magnetic field. The research opens the door to display applications ...

Researchers have developed a new way to control and manipulate optical signals by embedding a liquid crystal layer into waveguides created with direct laser writing. The new devices enable electro ...

Researchers have developed a new method for controlling the polarization of light that could lead to advances in cryptography, imaging, and other fields. This method uses liquid crystals to create ...

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 ...

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.

Small defects within liquid crystals have the potential to host chemical reactions or to transport cargo, making them a potential candidate for exciting new technologies, like synthetic platforms ...

From high-efficiency light amplifiers and advanced sensors to innovative laser technologies, this research challenges the boundaries of how we can control the light-matter interaction," says ...

Other components include a photodiode and an op amp that monitor the ambient light; a rotary potentiometer that sets the light intensity; an LED bar array and display driver, which indicate the ...
