V-Shaped SmC* switching FLC compounds

V-Shaped switching and interlayer interactions in ferroelectric liquid crystals

Linear electrooptic responses in ferroelectric liquid crystals can be achieved via thresholdless switching. The molecular parameters for the design of ferroelectric liquid crystals that may yield a thresholdless response have not been delineated so far. In this article we explore some of the chemical design features that may be utilised in controlling switching processes, and we develop propert...

P-169: Photoaligned Bistable FLC Displays with Birefringent Color Switching

In this paper, color switching bistable ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) displays have been studied. Memorizable colors were obtained. The spectra, chromaticity and viewing characteristics of the displays were studied in simulation. Using results of the simulations we fabricated prototypes of Black&Green, Black&Yellow, Blue&Yellow, and Green&Pink FLC displays. 1. Introduction Recently, there ...

Spatially Varied Flow Profiles in a V-Shaped Side-Channel

A Comprehensive Model for Stiffness Coefficients in V-Shaped Cantilevers

   During past decade the AFM based nanomanipulation has been focus of attention as the promising nano fabrication approach. The main challenge in this process is the real-time monitoring. Consequently, the dynamic models have been proposed as a solution to the existing challenge. In the modeling approach the magnitudes of the forces are proportional to the stiffness coefficients o...

Resistance to Flow in a V-Shaped Bottom Channel

Water flow in open channels is always subject to the resistance to flow and energy dissipation. For design purposes, one of the needed variables is the hydraulic resistance coefficient. For this mean, the influence of cross-sectional shape together with secondary flow cells and lateral distribution of true boundary shear stress have not yet been fully explored. This paper surveys the number of ...
