Publisher's Note
Ferroelectricity Liquid Crystals: Principles, Properties and Applications discusses the ferroelectric properties of optically active ordered fluids. The book is composed of self-contained chapters that deal with the broad aspects of this subject, from theoretical insights to commercial applications. this is the first textbook devoted solely to the rapidly expanding subject of ferroelectric liquid crystals, a unique class of substances that combine the electric polarization and anisotropy of ferroelectric crystals with the hydrodynamic properties of liquids. Ferroelectric liquid crystals represent a new generation of materials for displays, optical memories and optical computers, and may ultimately revolutionize flat panel display technology.
Industry Reviews
A textbook and reference for chemists, physicists, and electronic engineers, synthesizing the current knowledge on ferroelectric liquid crystals, which were discovered about 15 years ago, and are now finding their first practical applications. The comprehensive treatment covers an introduction to the family of crystals, their general properties and structures, the theory of ferroelectricity in liquid crystals, chemical and electrical properties, their behavior in electric and magnetic fields, and applications. Includes eight pages of well reproduced color plates. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
