“…This was the starting point in the 1980s and 1990s for the development of the super twisted nematic (STN) display, which found widespread use first in laptop computers and then in cell phones. For this application Hoffmann‐La Roche alkenylphenylcyclohexanes, which have favorable elastic properties owing to their alkenyl side chains 39…”

Patterns of communication: Reinitzer's discovery of liquid crystals in 1888 was followed by 30 years of scholarly dispute. One hundred years later, Pierre‐Gilles de Gennes was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contribution to this scientific revolution. The commercial success of liquid crystals was achieved in display applications. Today more than 4 billion people use them in mobile communication devices.

“…[32]) and this ratio gradually decreases with increasing alkyl chain length. As a consequence of the complexity of molecular interactions in the nematic phase, there is no general quantitative relationship between the elastic constants and the molecular structure.…”
“…Ausgehend von dieser Erfindung entwickelten sich die in den 80er und 90er Jahren weit verbreiteten STN‐Displays (STN=super twisted nematic) zunächst für Laptops, später dann für Mobiltelefone. Hoffmann‐La Roche entwickelte dafür speziell die Alkenylphenylcyclohexane, die durch die Alkenyl‐Seitenkette besonders günstige elastische Eigenschaften zeigen 39…”

Kommunikativ: Nach Reinitzers Entdeckung der Flüssigkristalle gab es über 30 Jahre einen interdisziplinären Gelehrtenstreit. De Gennes erhielt 100 Jahre nach deren Entdeckung für die Erklärung dieser wissenschaftlichen Revolution den Physik‐Nobelpreis. Danach kam mit der Displayanwendung auch deren kommerzieller Erfolg. Heute nutzen sie über 4 Milliarden Menschen bei ihrer mobilen Kommunikation. Bild: Ausschnitt aus dem Gemälde Schule von Athen von Raffael.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
