ISBN: 0750308575 ISBN-13: 9780750308571 Publisher: CRC Press OUR PRICE: $209.00 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: May 2003 Annotation: Unique in its thorough coverage of applications, not just the basic chemistry and physics of liquid crystals, Optical Applications of Liquid Crystals includes contributions from leading figures in industry and academia. It covers the existing applications, development, and design of optical systems based around liquid crystal science. The first few chapters explain the existing applications, from the ubiquitous LCD, through LC projectors and holography. The remaining chapters discuss promising technologies in development, such as photoaligning, photopatterning, and bistable twisted nematic LCs. This book is ideal for those involved in optics, optoelectronics, and electronic and chemical engineering. |

| Publisher Description: 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. |
