  • Chapter
Electrooptic Effects in Liquid Crystal Materials

Part of the book series: Partially Ordered Systems ((PARTIAL.ORDERED))

Abstract

This chapter describes the most important physical parameters which mainly determine the electrooptical behavior of liquid crystal,cells. According to existing phenomenological theories we first:

  1. (i)

    introduce these parameters, then;

  2. (ii)

    illustrate their dependence on the concrete molecular structure;

  3. (iii)

    then give evidence as to how to measure them and how to develop new liquid crystalline mixtures, having optimal values for them.
