The molecules are typically rod-shaped organic moieties about 25 Angstroms in length and their ordering is a function of temperature. The nematic phase, for example, is characterized by the orientational order of the constituent molecules. The molecular orientation (and hence the material's optical properties) can be controlled with applied electric fields. Liquid crystal science and applications permeate many segments of society from large industrial displays to individual homes and offices. Non-display applications in nonlinear optics, optical communication and data/signal/image are receiving increasing attention and are growing at a rapid pace"--Provided by publisher.Wiley Series in Pure and Applied Optics Liquid crystalsCongressesLiquid crystals530.4/29Khoo Iam-Choon313994MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910829834303321Liquid crystals881447UNINA
