An adaptive-focus lens is a device that is capable of tuning its focal length by means of an
external stimulus. Numerous techniques for the demonstration of such devices have been …

Four new series of chalcones containing imidazole bromonium and benzimidazole
bromonium salts with spacer alkyl chains (Cn, n= 2 and 4) were synthesized and the …

The integration of ITO-free transparent conductive layers remains a big challenge for
development of next generation technologies. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of …

We present a theoretical study and simulation of an adaptive modal liquid crystal lens
(AMLCL) where the magnitude and distribution of the surface resistance in the modal layer …

A linear double hydrogen bond ferroelectric liquid crystal (HBFLC) has been successfully
synthesized from the mixture of DL-tartaric acid (DLTA) and 4-(heptyloxy) benzoic acid …

We demonstrate that birefringent profiles of double-twist cylinders, found in some chiral
nematic systems such as blue phases, can perform as polarization-selective microlenses …

The Special Issue “Liquid Crystal Optical Devices” discusses recent developments in the
rapidly advancing subject of liquid crystals (LCs). The book is composed of several …

In the present study, a novel four series of heterocyclic imidazole and benzoimidazole liquid
crystalline were synthesized, characterized, sensor and anticancer evaluated. The synthesis …
