packed closely together‚ but they are able to move around. Hence a fluid does not have a rigid shape‚ but adapts to the contours of the container that holds it. Like a liquid a gas has no fixed shape‚ but it has little resistance to compression because there is enough empty space for the molecules to move closer. Whereas a liquid placed in a container will form a puddle at the bottom of the container‚ a gas will expand to fill the container. Although the three categories seem very well defined

LIQUID CRYSTALS Introduction What are Liquid crystals ? Its History & Discovery Any of various liquids in which molecules are regularly arrayed like a solid crystal along one or two dimensions‚ but are free in the other dimensions as with typical liquids. Liquid crystals often display unusual and often manipulable optical properties such as anisotropic scattering. They can be divided into two classes‚ Thermo tropic(nematic‚ chiral nematic‚ and smectic.) and Lyotropic. Transitions to thermotropic

Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) – Working We always use devices made up of Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) like computers‚ digital watches and also DVD and CD players. They have become very common and have taken a giant leap in the screen industry by clearly replacing the use of Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT). CRT draws more power than LCD and are also bigger and heavier. All of us have seen an LCD‚ but no one knows the exact working of it. Let us take a look at the working of an LCD. We get the definition

The shapes of these electrodes will determine the shapes that will appear when the LCD is turned ON. Vertical ridges etched on the surface are smooth. 3. Twisted nematic liquid crystal. 4. Glass substrate with common electrode film (ITO) with horizontal ridges to line up with the horizontal

Liquid Crystal Display A liquid crystal display (LCD) is a flat panel display‚ electronic visual display‚ or video display that uses the light modulating properties of liquid crystals. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly. LCDs are available to display arbitrary images (as in a general-purpose computer display) or fixed images which can be displayed or hidden‚ such as preset words‚ digits‚ and 7-segment displays as in a digital clock. They use the same basic technology‚ except that arbitrary

TECHNOLOGIES BEHIND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) Brief Overview- A thin‚ flat electronic visual display that uses the light modulating properties of liquid crystals is known as a liquid crystal display. Direct light is not emitted by LCDs. Displaced cathode ray tube (CRT) displays of LCDs are used in most applications. Two sheets of polarizing material‚ are used in LCD displays‚ with a liquid crystal solution between them. The crystals align as a result of an electric current‚ so that light

Liquid Crystals from Coconut Oil Fatty Acids - Investigatory Project Liquid Crystals from Coconut Oil Fatty Acids Abstract Liquid crystals are fluids that are between the solid and conventional liquid phases. Liquid crystals are in widespread use‚ especially in optical technologies. They are synthesized by combining fatty acids with cholesterol. This study aims to utilize coconut oil as an alternative source of fatty acids for synthesizing liquid crystals since coconut is cheap and abundant

Date of Experiment October 7‚ 2012 Report Submitted: October 7‚ 2012 Title: Liquids and Solids Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the boiling point of liquids and the melting point of solids. Procedure: I got all of my materials together and set up. I poured rubbing alcohol in a beaker and rubber banded it with the thermometer. I logged the last bubble that came out of the capillary tubes. After that I crushed the acetamide and carefully put it in the capillary tube

Liquids & Solids Pre Lab Questions: 3pts 1. What are the learning goals of this lab? The learning goal of this experiment is to view and experience the melting point and boiling point of different substances. 2. Why is acetamide not allowed in contact with your skin? What precautions does one have to take to work with this chemical? Acetamide is a carcinogen‚ which can cause cancer. Therefore‚ it should not be allowed to come in contact with a person’s skin. Any person working with this chemical
