PURPOSE: To provide a liquid crystal display panel which does not generate static electricity and for which an orientation treatment technique suitable for mass production is used and a process for producing the same.小池 善郎露木 俊大室 克文鈴木 洋二...
Liquid-crystal-elastomer-based torus microrobots capable of self-sustained rotation exhibit directional locomotion in terrestrial and fluidic environments by harnessing topology-invoked self-regulation and optically controlled friction and drag forces.
liquid crystal network. However, the nanoscopic mechanisms that drive morphological transitions remain unclear. Here, we introduce a frequency-resolved nanostrain imaging method to elucidate the emergent dynamics underlying field-induced shape-shifting. We show how surface morphing occurs in three distinct...
On the other hand, with the electric field off, the molecules relax toward the configuration favored by the surface interaction, in which the directors lie along a curve similar to a parenthesis, (. The thickness and birefringence of the liquid crystal cell are such that the direction of ...
They found that the addition of varying liquid crystal concentrations had great effects on the surface morphology and elastic modulus of the substrates. Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) were intensively affected by different doping rates of LC OPC, and their ALP ...
Surface relief grating (SRG) materials containing cinnamate moiety as a photocrosslinker, which possess azobenzene functionalized polymers, were synthesized and their surface topography, thermal stabilities, and aligning of liquid crystal (LC) molecules were investigated. The measured values of diffraction ...
Stimuli-responsive liquid crystal elastomers with molecular orientation coupled to rubber-like elasticity show a great potential as elements in soft robotics, sensing, and transport systems. The orientational order defines their mechanical response to external stimuli, such as thermally activated muscle-like...
Topological solitons commonly appear as energy-minimizing field configurations, but examples of stable, spatially localized objects with coexisting solitonic structures and singular defects are rare. Here we use a nonpolar chiral liquid crystal system to show how twist domain walls can co-self-assemble...
Liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) is a reflective microdisplay technology that is based on a silicon backplate. It is a combination of digital light processing (DLP) and liquid crystal display (LCD) projection technologies as it is reflective, but instead of using mirrors as in DLP, it uses...
assembly of a liquid crystal display, however, changes in optical hue (color shading) are sometimes observed on the display surface when the protection film is peeled off, after distribution process, for actual use of the liquid crystal display, which degrades the reliability as a display unit....
