SEMINAR «Liquid crystal applications: New frontiers»

SEMINAR ABSTRACT:
The future of  liquid crystal applications in various fields will be discussed.  We will try to consider the following new liquid crystal research and applications.
1. Liquid crystal photoalignment and photopatterning technology- the base of new LCD generation.
2. Optically rewritable E-paper-new type of a light Xerox. Applications for displays of plastic cards and outdoor advertisement boards.
3. Fast field sequential ferroelectric liquid crystal displays for pico-projector and micro-display applications.
4. New applications liquid crystals applications in photonics: lenses, beam steering, voltage controllable diffraction gratings, sensors, polarization controllers.
5. Effective methods of modeling and optimization of LCD.
6. Liquid crystal research in Hong Kong University of Science and Technology will be highlighted
