Liquid Crystal Devices - Physics and Applications (Hardcover, Unabridged Ed)

Select more accurate liquid crystal (LC) mixtures for various applications and design better performing liquid crystal devices (LCD)s in less time with this practical resource that provides an expert account of the fundamental physics of LCs and its practical application to device design. Liquid Crystal Devices: Physics and Applications provides engineers, physicists, and device designers with the most up-to-date descriptions of the dielectric, optical, and viscoelastic properties of LCs, including their relation to molecular structure, mixture content, and material characteristics.

The book gives you the knowledge needed to optimize LC cell geometry, select proper display configurations, and develop non-display applications such as optical data processing systems and surface defect detectors.
