Abstract

Inducing micro-patterns and structures inside a Liquid crystal (LC) cell is an effective way to improve the performance of LC display. However, in addition to display applications, LC also plays an important role in various tunable photonic devices with the advantages of low cost, no moving parts, low power consumption and high reliability. In this talk, I am going to review some of our work in merging LC and various artificial microstructures in different spans. The related photonic applications are discussed. Article not available.
