After watching [Ben Krasnow]’s efforts to build a liquid crystal display, we can easily see why the suits thought what they did. It’s an amazing engineering feat. Before building his own ...

In 1888, liquid crystals were identified by Austrian botanist Friedrich Reinitzer and German physicist Otto Lehmann. Studying the cholesterol in carrots using a temperature-controlled polarizing ...

LCD technology utilizes the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals combined with polarizers. These crystals do not emit light directly but use a backlight or reflector to produce images in ...

LLNL researchers are pioneering a coaxial DIW method for 3D printing cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs).

Microdisplays based on liquid-crystal-on-silicon technology may soon gain wider recognition as they penetrate an increasing number of markets, ranging from electronic viewfinders to miniature data ...

More than $2 billion has been spent over the past 15 years in trying to develop the technology and infrastructure behind liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCoS) displays. After a fitful start ...
