Journal ArticleDOI
2-phenylbenzoxazole-containing calamitic liquid crystals: synthesis and characterisation
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of 2-phenylbenzoxazole liquid crystals having intramolecular hydrogen-bonded Schiff's base linkers have been synthesized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Binary System Exhibiting the Nematic to Twist-Bend Nematic Transition: Behavior of Permittivity and Elastic Constants
Srividhya Parthasarathi,D. S. Shankar Rao,Nani Babu Palakurthy,Channabasaveshwar V. Yelamaggad,S. Krishna Prasad +4 more
TL;DR: Measurements of the permittivity and Frank elastic constant in the nematic phase of a binary system displaying a transition between the nematics (N) and the recently discovered twist-bend nematic (NTB) phase support the surprising idea that the elastic features associated with bent molecules can be further augmented by suitable rodlike additives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrooptic and viewing angle characteristics of a display device employing a discotic nematic liquid crystal
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel liquid crystal display device employing discotic nematic material was developed, which has excellent viewing angle characteristics showing a wide and symmetric viewing angle profile, and has much less difference in the pixel capacitance between the ON and OFF states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel photoluminescent lanthanidomesogens forming bilayer smectic phase derived from blue light emitting liquid crystalline, one ring O-donor Schiff-base ligands
Chira R. Bhattacharjee,Gobinda Das,Pankaj Goswami,Paritosh Mondal,Subbarao Krishna Prasad,D. S. Shankar Rao +5 more
TL;DR: A series of new mononuclear lanthanide(III)-salicylaldimine complexes of the type [Ln(LH)3(NO3)3] have been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel dibenzo[fg,op]naphthacene discotic liquid crystals: a versatile rational synthesis
TL;DR: In this article, a rational synthesis for dibenzopyrene derivatives is described, which involves the preparation of a quaterphenyl using a palladium-catalysed cross-coupling of arylboronic acids followed by chemical or photochemical cyclization.
