He is a former associate editor of Pramana, Journal of Physics and is associated with science journals such as Liquid Crystal Communications journal of International Liquid Crystal Society, [15] Indian Journal of Physics of Springer [16] and the Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Physics of the National Institute of Science Communication and ...
Wu's invention of mixed-mode twisted nematic liquid crystal display have been widely implemented in commercial products. Wu was born in Nantou, Taiwan. He received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Southern California (Los Angeles, USA) and his Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in physics from National Taiwan University (Taipei, Taiwan).
Acta Crystallographica was established in conjunction with the foundation of the International Union of Crystallography in 1948. Both were established to maintain an international forum for crystallography after the Second World War had led to a loss of international subscription to, and the eventual nine-year closure of, the main pre-war crystallography journal, Zeitschrift für ...
Liquid crystals can consist of proteins, small molecules, or polymers, that can be manipulated to form cohesive order in a specific direction. [38] They exhibit liquid-like behavior in that they can flow, yet they can obtain close-to-crystal alignment. One feature of liquid crystals is their ability to spontaneously break symmetry. [39]
Photoalignment is a technique for orienting liquid crystals to desired alignment by exposure to polarized light and a photo reactive alignment chemical. [1] It is usually performed by exposing the alignment chemical ('command surface') to polarized light with desired orientation which then aligns the liquid crystal cells or domains to the exposed orientation.
Mesophase. A mesogen is a compound that displays liquid crystal properties. [1] [2] Mesogens can be described as disordered solids or ordered liquids because they arise from a unique state of matter that exhibits both solid- and liquid-like properties called the liquid crystalline state. [1]
George William Gray CBE FRS (4 September 1926 – 12 May 2013) was a Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Hull who was instrumental in developing the long-lasting materials which made liquid crystal displays possible.
