At the Tokyo Tech LG Material & Life Solution Collaborative Research Cluster, a joint research team has developed a ferroelectric dimeric liquid crystal with spontaneous polarization that exceeds (8 ...

(a) The process for fabricating LC phase modulator with the MMOT structure. (b) The schematic of LC phase modulator with MMOT structure. Liquid-crystal (LC) phase modulators are widely used in optical ...

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 ...

This white paper identifies the major types of LCDs, describes the technology in detail, shows how it works, and identifies major LCD applications as well as leading global suppliers. The paper also ...

Liquid crystal polarization gratings (LCPGs) are diffractive elements that provide near-100% diffraction for circularly polarized light. When layered with thin polarization-controlling liquid crystal ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The screens we use every day – from smartphones to televisions – work by either filtering white light or creating their own illumination. These approaches have served well but ...

The course will dive deep into electronic display devices, including liquid crystals, electroluminescent, plasma, organic light-emitting diodes, and electrowetting based displays. You'll learn about ...
