Organic Specialties - Liquid Crystals
Organic compounds that are capable of responding to small amounts of radiant energy and undergo
a phase transition with selective reflection of light . Specific colors are obtained depending on the
wavelength of light which is determined by the organic crystal array “pitch length .” Pitch lengths
will vary considerably depending on temperature and the reflected light will also therefore depend
on temperature . Application areas range from thermally activated displays to sensors and detection
devices to cosmetics .
