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 ...

Liquid crystal displays could soon be painted straight on to surfaces, using a technique currently being refined by researchers at Philips laboratories in the Netherlands. The process removes the need ...

Dyes play a critical role in the performance of liquid crystal display (LCD) colour filters, serving as the primary colourant that defines both the chromatic accuracy and efficiency of modern displays ...

The liquid crystals used in displays nowadays are usually in a nematic phase, i.e. a liquid-like state of almost parallel oriented molecules. However, there is another liquid crystal phase which has a ...
