Polarized light induces a preferred orientation of azobenzene groups through photochemical trans-cis-trans processes. Stronger orientation tendencies exist...
This paper discusses two types of mechanically bistable liquid-crystal display structures, a previously reported type [2], [3] called vertical-horizontal, ...
The liquid crystal display device using guest-host interactions has. attracted interest recently because of displaying color and wide viewing angle. This paper describes dyes with high dichroic ratio, and proposes two new types of the gu...
Low-cost, hydrogen-gas-leak detectors are needed for many hydrogen applications, such as hydrogen-fueled vehicles where several detectors may be required i...
A new liquid crystal polarizer material based on modified dichroic dyes has been developed for optical applications. Thin Crystal Film (TCF) polarizers are produced from an aqueous solution of organic dye derivatives and their mixtures v...
The absence of spatial inversion symmetry at both local (point group 4-bar ) and global (crystal class 4-bar 2 m) levels greatly influences the electronic ...
This paper describes recent advances in the field of photochromic polymeric structures for optical data storage. In particular, we discuss photo-induced ef...
The next generation polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) based electro optical devices could be polarizer-free flexible and reflective just by doping ...
probed by the investigation of the Co2(+)-substituted enzyme using electronic absorption, CD and magnetic circular dichroic spectroscopies in the visible ...
