A haptic device using flexible sheet such as rubber has already been proposed. Controlling the bias tension of the sheet, the device varies compliance of the sheet in the normal direction; users can feel compliance of various virtual objects if they touch the sheet. This device is integrated into a visual and haptic display. The haptic device uses transparent flexible sheet, and a liquid crysta...

Abstract This paper comments on a recent article “Revolutionary poetry and liquid crystal chemistry: Herman Gorter, Ada Prins the interface between literature science” by Hub Zwart (Foundations of Chemistry, published online: 10 July 2020), in which author explores influence research epic poem Pan written her long-time lover Gorter. The present reviews basic science crystals explains connection...

In this paper, artificial neural network controller (NNC) was designed and used to adjust and control the work of the laser beam steering device consist of liquid crystals cell and other optical components. The target of the neurocontroller is to guarantee smooth deliver and exactly control the laser beam to a required location via control the liquid crystals cell and the optical components. Ba...

An X-ray reflectivity theory on the determination of the density profile of a molecular liquid under nanometre confinement is presented. The confinement geometry acts like an X-ray interferometer, which consists of two opposing atomically flat single-crystal mica membranes with an intervening thin liquid film of variable thickness. The X-rays reflected from the parallel crystal planes (of known...

Tien-Lung Chiu (SID Student Member) Haiqing Xianyu (SID Member) Zhibing Ge Jiun-Haw Lee (SID Member) Kou-Chen Liu Shin-Tson Wu (SID Fellow) Abstract — A high-transmittance transflective device based on a hybrid structure consisting of a transparent organic light-emitting diode (OLED) stacked on top of a reflective liquid-crystal device (RLCD) was conceptually demonstrated. By placing the transp...

Since the early 1970s, three major prerequisites have brought the success of the liquid crystal display (LCD) technology to its key role of today. Namely, the discovery of electro-optical field-effects on which the displays are based, the successful search for liquid crystals (LCs) with material properties that meet the complex requirements of electro-optical effects and render the effects appl...

A new experimental SXGA liquid-crystalon-silicon reflective projection light valve is described. It incorporates a novel inversion scheme, the bootstrapped pixel method, which extends the available pixel voltage range with lower applied voltages from the external data driver. This can enable the use of liquid crystal modes and performance-enhancing pixel structures which increase the pixel volt...

In this paper, we proposed the phase disturbing device using randomly-fluctuated liquid crystal (LC) alignment to reduce speckle noise generated in holographic displays. Some parameters corresponding fluctuation of thick LC layer were quantitatively evaluated, and clarified effect with on reduction.

We demonstrate a spectrally discrete white-light laser device based on a photonic bandgap hybrid, which is composed of a soft photonic crystal; i.e., a layer of dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC), sandwiched between two imperfect but identical, inorganic multilayer photonic crystals. With a sole optical pump, a mono-, bi-, or tri-chromatic laser can be obtained and, through the soft pho...
