摘要:

Liquid crystal displays are a key component of the information society. They are found in many places in cars, measurement equipment, portable computers, and portable communication equipment. A typical state-of-the-art active matrix colour liquid crystal display today has a diagonal of 10 in, 550 × 650 pixels, and costs about US$ 1200 each in industrial quantities. In many products the liquid crystal display is the dominant component in terms of value. Each pixel has it's own transistor control circuit which at the moment uses amorphous silicon thin film transistor (TFT) technology. Very soon, however, polycrystalline silicon will be used instead of amorphous silicon. Since polycrystalline silicon is the same as that used in ordinary silicon VLSI, all other electronic circuits including the CPU can then be integrated onto the substrate of the liquid crystal display. Therefore, very soon, the business of all those companies will be threatened, who at present purchase liquid crystal displays externally, and build a product around it (see also: IEEE-Spectrum, May 1995, pages 62–69).

摘要:

The term liquid crystals covers a wide area of chemical structures, physical properties and technical applications. Thousands of papers contain our knowledge of liquid crystals in words and numbers, but how can we easily access this information, and how can we use the numbers?

摘要:

The 1995 Society for Information Display (90) International Symposium is the premier international gathering of scientists, engineers, technologists, manufacturers, and users of flat panel displays, where virtually all aspects of information displays are presented. The organizers, Richard H. Bruce (Symposium Chair) and Hugo Steemers (Programme Chair) of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, did a magnificent job in arranging a programme that covered a wide range of technology and applications' from high definition flat panel displays of both emissive and liquid crystal display (LCD) technology t o the latest in CRT development and large area display projection systems. The symposium featured over 180 papers from around the world in 45 technical sessions; the conference papers are published in the SID International Symposium Digest of Technical Papers Vol. XXVI. It is very apparent just by paging through the Digest of Technical Paper that LCDs have entrenched themselves in the flat panel display community, and as the need for high information content continues t o grow, LCDs are expected to play an even bigger role. From the liquid crystal materials perspective, the conference was heavily weighted towards reflective displays, polymer dispersed liquid crystal displays for projection, alignment and viewing angle issues, and active matrix technologies.

摘要:

Although investigations of metal-containing based liquid crystals began around the turn of the century, interest in these materials (metallomesogens) has seen a dramatic expansion over the last 10 years. The broad diversity in structure and properties of these materials was self-evident in the “Fourth International Symposium on Metallomesogens” recently held in Cetraro, Italy. This meeting, hosted by the Calabria research group, Mauro Ghedini and Roberto Bartolino (co-chairs), Francesco Neve (Secretary), Daniela Pucci, Alessandra Crispini, Nicola Scaramuzza, and Stefania Morrone, was held in an elegant and tranquil atmosphere afforded by the sea-side resort at The Grand Hotel, San Michele.
