Abstract

Begins with the fundamentals of the liquid crystalline phase, progresses to a discussion of important parameters in liquid crystalline systems such as electric field and surface effects, and ends with technological aspects of utilizing liquid crystals in displays. It is an all-encompassing monograph that provides a link from the fundamental chemistry of liquid crystals to their technological applications.
