Liquid Crystals

Part of the book series: Topics in Physical Chemistry ((TOPPHYSCHEM,volume 3))

Abstract

There have been three major prerequisites for the establishment and the growing success of the liquid crystal display (LCD) technology since the early 1970s. Namely, the discovery of electro-optical field-effects on which today’s LCDs are based, the successful search for liquid-crystal materials with suitable material properties, and last but not least, the development of the technological tools which are required for manufacturing LCDs.
