Liquid crystal displays

Did you know that smartphones, computer screens and 3D televisions exist because of a technological breakthrough over 40 years ago by a research team at the University of Hull?
Mark Lorch, Lecturer in Chemistry at the University of Hull, demonstrates how this fascinating area of science works.
There is no doubt the impact on society of the breakthrough in research made by the University's research team led by Professor George Gray in 1973.
Everywhere we go, we can see the impact of that work with smartphones, computer screens and portable devices constantly in use all over the world.
The Department of Chemistry's liquid crystal research and innovation carries on today. It is a constantly evolving technology and we are proud that we continue to be at the forefront, keeping UK science on the global innovation map.

Finest explanation of liquid crystal, I have So far come across.

[@noorfatima9224]

thank you so much.........youth need teachers like you :(

[@elina-world]

Proud of Hull university for discovering liquid crystal which led into invention of the liquid crystal displays.

great edu video！

[@hirchell4475]

Lovely demonstration lesson. I couldn't help but learn.

[@sajeshthomas7995]

Such a passionate way of explaining things😊👍

[@bradleyli1569]

What an amazing video! Why is there only 973 subscribers here??

[@Bestkata1]

Thank you for your great educational videos.

[@mcbrianmiller1264]

You are among the best in explaining what you've gained understanding in them.
Thank yiu very much for the video

Super explanation, tanx
👍

[@AtAGlimpse_UB]

The pasta and spaghetti example was actually great!

[@offshoot1008]

Thanks !!!

[@DivineTruth1]

Interesting video we need to start investigating LC and UV more to work out how to make a filter for mobile phones I think, better for a phone than for sunglasses that way you can record..

[@dominiclessard5713]

Thanks and don't give up the great work!!

[@amansiddiquei]

thanx

[@NishanthSalahudeen]

nice. but everyone seems to skip mentioning the alignment layer in a display. without it, none of this will work together to form a display.

[@jovergar]

Very God!!! Congratulation

[@natethegreat5470]

How dangerous is the "fluid" inside LCDs? Can it leak out of the monitor by any chance

[@chrismesogitis9310]

How can a display heat and cool the liquid crystal molecules so fast?

[@biswa145]

There is no heating or cooling... instead electric current is passed through the liquid crystal and that current is turned on and off!

[@chenangelica8519]

SUCH A GREAT ILLUSTRATION!! WHERE CAN I GET THIS LIQUID CRYSTAL FROM?

[@DrScients]

+chen angelica Its not particularly easy to get hold of this liquid crystal molecule in any quantity. It is available from chemical suppliers but it cost about $100 for 100grams. However if you want to do some neat demos with other liquid crystals take a look at this education.mrsec.wisc.edu/274.htm

[@redaktor0p873]

good

[@opijkkk4918]

can you make some lcd screens for Game and Watch

[@bharatjoshi9889]

Wowwww

[@lyndenhall6754]

you must be a professor
