But while these remarkable states of matter are most commonly associated with visual display technologies, they have important applications for a variety of other fields as well. \u003ci\u003eLiquid Crystals Beyond Displays: Chemistry, Physics, and Applications\u003c\/i\u003e considers these, bringing together cutting-edge research from some of the most promising areas of LC science.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFeaturing contributions from respected researchers from around the globe, this edited volume emphasizes the chemistry, physics, and applications of LCs in areas such as photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, filed-effect transistors, lasers, molecular motors, nanophotonics and biosensors. Specific chapters look at magnetic LCs, lyotropic chromonic LCs, LC-based chemical sensors, LCs in metamaterials, and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroducing readers to the fundamentals of LC science through the use of illustrative examples, \u003ci\u003eLiquid Crystals Beyond Displays\u003c\/i\u003e covers not only the most recent research in the myriad areas in which LCs are being utilized, but also looks ahead, addressing potential future developments. Designed for physicists, chemists, engineers, and biologists working in academia or industry, as well as graduate students specializing in LC technology, this is the first book to consider LC applications across a wide range of fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuan Li, PhD,\u003c\/b\u003e is the Director of the Organic Synthesis and Advanced Materials Laboratory at the Liquid Crystal Institute at Kent State University, where he is also an Adjunct Professor in the Chemical Physics Interdisciplinary Program.
