This practical resource aims to help readers select more accurate liquid crystal (LC) mixtures for various applications and design better performing liquid crystal devices (LCD)s in less time. It provides an expert account of the fundamental physics of LCs and its practical application to device design, and descriptions of the dielectric, optical and viscoelastic properties of LCs, including their relation to molecular structure, mixture content and material characteristics. The text also enables readers to select more accurate LC mixtures for various applications. The book examines the basic macroscopic properties of liquid crystals and their applications characteristics, including multiplexing capability, controlling voltages, optical contrast, response times, optical memory and colour switching.
