Novel Liquid Crystal Mix Expands LCD Operating Temperature Range

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
An experimental liquid crystal (LC) mixture has been shown to function properly in temperature range of −40 to about 100 °C, an improvement over current technologies used in automobile displays, smartphones and televisions, for example, which grow blurry and sluggish in extreme temperatures. A team of researchers led by professor Shin-Tson Wu at the University of Central Florida formulated three new liquid crystal mixtures with a wide nematic range, small visco-elastic coefficient and low activation energy. Professor Shin-Tson Wu and doctoral students work on liquid...Read full article

    liquid crystal
    Liquid crystals are a state of matter that exhibits properties intermediate between those of conventional liquids and solid crystals. In a liquid crystal, the molecules are ordered like those in a crystal, but they can still flow like a liquid. This unique combination of structural order and fluidity gives liquid crystals their distinctive characteristics and makes them valuable in various technological applications, particularly in display technology. Key features and characteristics of...
