Science and technology of stressed liquid crystals: display and non-display applications

Static and dynamic electro-optical properties of liquid crystals mediated by ferroelectric polymer films

“…The intensity of the laser beam passing through the cell was measured by a photodiode according to a typical procedure of electro-optical measurements for a uniformly aligned liquid crystal sample. 40,44 Results and discussion…”

Diffraction Efficiency Characteristics for MEMS-Based Phase-Only Spatial Light Modulator with Nonlinear Phase Distribution

“…Stressed liquid crystal cells have been demonstrated with speeds passing 10 kHz, but require a large driving voltage [21]. Stressed liquid crystals have not received much traction, likely due to the sensitivity of the manufacturing process [22]. While the PLM requires a complex fabrication process, it has been built on well-established techniques and processes used for commercial DMDs for decades.…”

New quasiperiodic structures in nematic liquid crystals

“…[5][6][7][8][9] Since the discovery of domain walls, topological defects have become a robust field of LC research, with extensive reviews, [10][11][12][13] in addition to the expansive field of LC display applications. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Domain walls have been shown to reduce into a pair of disclination lines at a critical field strength, in the pincement process. 24 Newer experiments and theoretical work have reported on velocity of the front to expand the knowledge of this phenomena.…”
