A research group led by Dr. Jialei He of Nagoya University's Graduate School of Engineering has developed a method for processing cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) into micrometer-sized spherical ...

Figure 3. The cholesteric liquid crystalline semiconductor we have newly synthesized. The positive carrier mobility in the cholesteric phase of the synthesized liquid crystal showed a value of 2 x ...

The class of liquid-crystalline phases known as cholesteric phases can form in amyloid fibrils in the same way as other filamentous biological colloidal systems, such as viruses, cellulose and ...

An international team has investigated a newly synthesized liquid-crystalline material that promises applications in optoelectronics. Simple rod-shaped molecules with a single center of chirality self ...

Cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) display unusual colors due to their unique molecular structure and optical properties that lead to the selective reflection of light at specific wavelengths. This ...

Researchers have developed a technology to control the light wavefront reflected from a cholesteric liquid crystal -- a liquid crystal phase with a helical structure. Although known for their ability ...

Today's consumers expect to view crisp, responsive displays on their handheld devices. This presses product developers to select high-quality displays that are low in cost, consume minimal power, and ...

In response to the growing demand for sustainable technologies, the e-paper market is expanding rapidly. E Ink, a leader in electrophoretic e-paper technology, faces competition from IRIS Optronics, ...
