液晶材料・新たな可能性への挑戦New application for Liquid Crystals

抄録

Besides the current liquid crystal material developments for conventional LCD applications, intensive efforts to enlarge application fields of liquid crystals have been made. Here Polymer Wall LC, Holographic Displays, Smart Windows, Light Guiding and Smart Antennas were explained as promising examples for new application fields of liquid crystal materials. The current situation and challenges of liquid crystal materials development to materialize the new applications were summarized and discussed in this paper.
