Precise manipulation of Bragg reflection in cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) is essential for advancing reconfigurable optics. However, existing photo-responsive material-doped CLC technologies that rely on single-wave...

As an example of thermoplastic/liquid crystal blends that do not exhibit a liquid-liquid immiscibility region in their phase diagrams, a polystyrene (PS)/N-4-ethoxybenzylidene-4′-butylaniline (EBBA) blend was analyzed....

Balancing high display performance with energy efficiency is crucial for global sustainability. Lowering operating frequencies—such as enabling 1 Hz operation in fringe-field switching (FFS) liquid crystal displays—r...

Experimental and modeling/simulation studies of phase equilibrium and growth morphologies of novel polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) mixtures of PS (polystyrene) and liquid crystals that exhibit a direct isotropic/...

Due to the precise and continuous regulation of phase, holographic encryption based on metasurfaces and liquid crystals (LCs) has been proposed to encrypt the information by manipulating the wavelength, polarization, etc...

The quantitative values of electric potentials in the elements of submicron structures High Integral Circuits in the operating mode can be experimentally determined using electro-optic effect in nematics liquid crystal. ...

Due to the unique self-acceleration, self-healing, and non-diffraction properties, Airy beams have been explored extensively and found applications in various fields. It has been proven as an essential aspect to tune the...
