Journal ArticleDOI
Dual Light and Temperature Responsive Micrometer-Sized Structural Color Actuators.
Alberto Belmonte,Alberto Belmonte,Yera Ussembayev,Tom Bus,Tom Bus,Inge Nys,Kristiaan Neyts,Albertus P. H. J. Schenning,Albertus P. H. J. Schenning +8 more
TL;DR: Light and temperature responsive micrometer-sized structural color actuators based on cholesteric liquid-crystalline (CLC) polymer particles are presented and show reversible asymmetric shape deformations combined with structural color changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Switchable 3D liquid crystal grating generated by periodic photo-alignment on both substrates.
TL;DR: A planar liquid crystal (LC) cell is developed in which two photo-alignment layers have been illuminated with respectively a horizontal and a vertical diffraction pattern of interfering left- and right-handed circularly polarized light, indicating that lowering of the symmetry allows a reduction in the elastic energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-electrode tunable liquid crystal lenses with one lithography step
Jeroen Beeckman,Tzu-Hsuan Yang,Inge Nys,John Puthenparampil George,Tsung-Hsien Lin,Kristiaan Neyts +5 more
TL;DR: A novel multi-electrode design in which only one lithography step is necessary is provided, thereby offering a greatly simplified fabrication procedure compared to earlier proposed designs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tilted Chiral Liquid Crystal Gratings for Efficient Large-Angle Diffraction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that by patterning photoalignment layers at the surfaces with a period comparable to the chiral pitch, the liquid crystal superstructures self-assembles into a tilted, defect-free helical struc- ture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex liquid crystal superstructures induced by periodic photo-alignment at top and bottom substrates.
TL;DR: The formation of nematic liquid crystal (LC) superstructures in cells with non-uniform photo-alignment at the confining substrates is studied experimentally and by simulations to formation of interesting 3D configurations.
