Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) have potential to revolutionize the ways we perceive and interact with digital information. Since the 1990s, AR and VR experienced their first boom ...

Motorola Labs hits on mechanism for colour reflective liquid-crystal displays Researchers at Motorola Labs have invented a new display mechanism called Electrically Tunable Color (ETC) for colour ...

From televisions to computer monitors to smartphones, visually presenting information has seen a transition from cathode-ray tubes bombarding electrons at phosphor-coated screens to the advent of ...

Liquid crystal optics represent a dynamic field where the intrinsic anisotropic properties of liquid crystals facilitate advanced control over light propagation. When combined with grating structures, ...

Liquid metal controlled by low voltage reversibly switches color and infrared response in nanoscale surfaces, enabling low power reflective displays, sensors, and optical security features. (Nanowerk ...

Figure 1. Schematic representation of molecular orientation and the low-frequency power-saving mode in fringe-field switching liquid crystal displays (FFS-LCDs). (a) Molecular alignment in the nematic ...
