Japanese company Omron has developed a technique to insert liquid crystals into a polymer containing 0.5µm diameter spherical acrylate particles. Omron claims the material can be used to produce LCDs ...

Most of the LCMs found in dolphins and porpoises likely originated from television and computer screens, with smaller contributions from smartphones.

A mixture of zinc sulphide nanorods and conventional liquid crystals produces much better liquid crystal displays. Liquid crystal displays (LCD) are ubiquitous. However, slow response times, low ...

A project to extract the materials from redundant liquid crystal displays is expected not only to make these materials safe, but also to recycle millions of dollars worth of valuable chemicals.

Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are a type of electronic display used in everything from televisions and computer monitors to digital watches and PDAs. An LCD is made up of two sheets of polarizing ...

Liquid crystals, discovered more than 125 years ago, are at work behind the screens of TV and computer monitors, clocks, watches and most other electronics displays, and scientists are still ...

Any device that can control or change the amplitude, phase, or polarization of light waves is known as a Spatial Light Modulator (SLM). “Current SLM–based systems use either optical MEMS ...

Once upon a time, the cathode ray tube was pretty much the only type of display you’d find in a consumer television. As the ...
