Overview of Liquid Crystal Research: Computational Advancements, Challenges, Future Prospects and Applications

Abstract: Liquid crystal (LC) is a fascinating state of matter that combines order and mobility at multiple hierarchical levels, spanning from nanoscale to the macroscale, or from molecular to the macroscopic, and is composed of molecules and layers as thin as of a few nanometer in size. This unique combination allows such a system to adapt to a wide range of external stimuli, including temperature, magnetic field, electric field, mechanical stress, light, chemical reaction, and electrochemical response, by determining … Show more

“…It is worth pointing out here that the application of LCs is not just limited to display industries [6][7][8][9] since its ease of forming varied material structures makes them ideal for biosensing [10], drug delivery [11], microlensing [12,13], tuneable lasers [14], photonic crystals [15], vortex beam generators [16], etc. However, certain limitations, such as the lack of gray-scale capability, low contrast ratio, narrow viewing angle, lower light efficiency, requirement of backlight sources, high-power consumption, etc [17,18] have often remained as a bottleneck that researchers time and again have attempted to resolve utilizing a variety of techniques. The dispersion of nanoparticles (NPs, particles with at least one dimension less than 100 nm) in LCs is one such technique that has yielded significant curiosity in the scientific community due to the intriguing and purposeful results that it produces [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36].…”
