TLDR
In this paper, the authors described methods for encapsulating liquid crystal material and for making a liquid crystal device using such encapsulated liquid crystal materials, such as nematic material, which is used in liquid crystal devices such as relatively large size visual display devices.Abstract:
Briefly, according to one aspect of the invention, liquid crystal material, and especially nematic material, is encapsulated; according to another aspect the encapsulated liquid crystal material is used in liquid crystal devices, such as relatively large size visual display devices; and according to further aspects there are provided methods for encapsulating liquid crystal material and for making a liquid crystal device using such encapsulated liquid crystal material.read more

New display based on electrically induced index‐matching in an inhomogeneous medium
TL;DR: In this paper, the operation of a light modulation device that employs electric field controlled light scattering in an inhomogeneous medium is described, where the orientation of a nematic liquid crystal, contained in micrometer sized inclusions in a nonabsorbing solid, is changed to produce a varying refractive index.
