Liquid
Fundamentals Of Crystal Devices
From laptop computers and mobile phones to digital cinema, Liquid Grystal Displays (LGDs) are integral components in an increasing aray of highly desitable consumer electtonics and communication devices, and are already the predominant technology used in llat panel displays. This inter-disciplinary book is intended as an introductory guide to the fundamental propefires of liquid crystals and their applications, providing a basic understanding of the physics, optics, electro-optics, and material aspects for state-of{he-art display and photonic devices. Fundamentals of Liquid Crystal Devices is a valuable res0urce for advanced undergraduate and graduate students following display systems courses, who will benefit from its systematic approach. The introduction of advanced device concepts and structures means that display engineers, scientists, and technicians active in the field can also utilize this unique resource, as can developers of a wide range of systems and applications. Fundamentals of Liquid Crystal Devices includes: A comprehensive overview of LCDs including liquid crystal physics, electro-optical properties, simulation techniques, and display and photonic applications. Numerous examples and case studies, solved problems and challenging homework conundrums starting with basic physics and gradually introducing advanced device concepts and structures. The principles for designing advanced specialist transmissive, reflective, and transflective liquid crystal displays. Chapters on emerging technologies such as tunable liquid crystal photonic devices including laser beam steering, light switches for telecommunication and tunable-focus lenses.
