In recent years, there has been increasing activity in the research and design of optical systems based on liquid crystal (LC) science. Bringing together contributions from leading figures in industry and academia, Optical Applications of Liquid Crystals covers the range of existing applications as well as those in development. Unique in its thorough coverage of applications, not just the basic chemistry and physics of liquid crystals, the book begins with the existing applications of liquid crystals, from the ubiquitous LCD through to LC projectors and holography. The remaining chapters discuss more promising technologies in development, including photoaligning, photopatterning, and bistable twisted nematic LCs.

Reviews for Optical Applications of Liquid Crystals

From Archimedis' adaptive optics of 214-211 BC - when he burned the Roman fleet seizing Syracuse, through Gabor's invention of holography in 1947-8, to today's technology and beyond, this book is a fascinating account of liquid crystal technology, principles and applications, and it gives a glimpse into the future, where smart pixels, smart windows, 3D television and electronic paper are the shape of things to come.
