Abstract

Liquid crystals (LCs) liquid crystals (LCs) are widely used in information-processing devices, for optical visualization optical visualization of physical influences (heat, IR, high-frequency radiation, pressure, etc.), for nondestructive testing, nondestructive testing and for thermography.thermography
