Liquid crystal orientation transition on microtextured substrates.
A uniform alignment of liquid crystal (LC) with finite pretilt was observed on microtextured substrates that were lithographically fabricated with alternating horizontal and vertical corrugations. As the period of alternation was decreased toward 0.8 microm, the nematic LC alignment on these substrates changed from inhomogeneous in plane, copying the substrate corrugations, to a uniform configu...
متن کاملPattern Formation for a Planar Layer of Nematic Liquid Crystal
Using equivariant bifurcation theory, and on the basis of symmetry considerations independent of the model, we classify square and hexagonally periodic patterns that typically arise when a homeotropic or planar isotropic nematic state becomes unstable, perhaps as a consequence of an applied magnetic or electric field. We relate this to a Landau – de Gennes model for the free energy, and derive ...
متن کاملPolarizer-free liquid crystal display with double microlens array layers and polarization-controlling liquid crystal layer.
We propose a polarizer-free liquid crystal display (LCD) consisting of two microlens array (MLA) layers, a twisted nematic (TN) LC layer, and two light-blocking masks. By changing the polarization state, focal length of the LCD can be controlled. Since two light-blocking masks have a circular stop pattern and a complementary open pattern, entire gray-scale spectrum may be realized by controllin...
متن کاملLiquid Crystal Orientation on Patterns Etched in Silicon-on-Insulator
Liquid Crystals have many applications in photonics, but often the geometrical properties of the photonic structures give problems for controlling the alignment of the liquid crystal. We demonstrate the effect on the orientation of a nematic liquid crystal by structures etched in Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) wafers, produced by photolithography. We characterize the alignment effect of several pat...
متن کاملRenewable Liquid Fuels
B ecoming independent of crude oil imports, mainly from the Middle East, is an urgent concern for many countries all over the world. In order to secure a sustainable energy supply, especially in the transportation sector, governments need to apply policies that promote the use of renewable energy technologies. The dependence on crude oil imports decreases as the production of total energy from ...
