Hughes continued to be innovators in the field and in 1983 reported a 'liquid-crystal light valve,' which was the first reflective spatial light modulator. Five years later, an LCOS spatial light ...

Liquid-crystal-on-silicon-based televisions are available ... metal patterned above the silicon to flex in order to deflect light. Microelectromechanical-system chips have to be hermetically ...

Light enters the display, goes through a polarizer, and is twisted by a liquid crystal material. The first successful LCDs used two types of liquid crystals – chiral and nematic. By combining ...

Studying the cholesterol in carrots using a temperature-controlled polarizing microscope, they noticed that the light ... crystal when heat was applied. By 1907, Germany-based Merck was selling ...

Scientists in the UK have created glasses that can block out specific wavelengths of light known to cause seizures ... These lenses contain liquid crystals that change their optical properties ...

Liquid crystal nanoparticles (LCNPs) are a unique class of nanomaterials that combine the ... The release of the encapsulated drugs can be triggered by external stimuli, such as temperature, pH, or ...

Liqxtal’s Cutting-Edge Liquid Crystal Technologies Liqxtal® Graph, Liqxtal® Dim and Liqxtal® Pro-Eye Liqxtal focuses on the ...

This change in orientation affects the light's ability to pass through the liquid crystal layer, enabling the display to produce images. An LCD consists of several layers, including two polarizing ...

Science often surprises us with its ability to connect seemingly unrelated phenomena. Have you ever stopped to marvel at how ...

These modules do not include housing and must be incorporated into a larger instrument or system. Liquid crystal displays (LCD) belong to the class of nonemissive technologies, or displays that do not ...

CEA-Leti researchers have developed the first reported device, which can sense light and modulate it accordingly in a single device using a liquid crystal cell and a CMOS image sensor.
