Chapter 11, Problem 11.128QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The characteristic of nematic liquid crystals are employed in LCD displays has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Liquid crystals: Liquid crystals are the crystal which properties between predictable solid and those of a liquid crystal. Liquid crystal may flow similar to a liquid; however its molecules may be arranged in a crystal like way.
Nematic phase are the simplest form of liquid crystal in which crystal molecule have no proper order position and free to move any way.
