Where Nematic Is Used?

Because their light transmission properties can be deliberately varied as a function of applied external voltage, nematic liquids are used in alphanumeric liquid-crystal displays ( LCD s), such as those found in digital wristwatches and many consumer electronic devices.

What are the uses of liquid crystal?

Liquid crystals are everywhere. They are used in all kinds of display devices including computer monitors and laptop screens, TVs, clocks, visors, and navigation systems. Each pixel in a monitor is an assembly of liquid crystals controlled by its own electromagnetic field.

What are nematic liquid crystals give some examples?

Nematic Liquid Crystals

They have characteristic textures when viewed under cross polarized light microscope. These materials are birefringent and allowing light with different polarizations to go through at different speeds. Two examples are cyanobiphenyls and another with rigid and mantle group in the system.
