Liquid crystal displays and anisotropic materials development in Belarus: present and future

Abstract

Research, development and production of liquid crystal displays and materials in Belarus are presented. The original methodology of the creation of advanced devices and anisotropic materials is considered. The proposed approach of design of new devices, anisotropic materials and ordered nanostructured surfaces and layers is based on numerous data obtained in the last decades in the study of liquid crystals and ordered fluids; on the regularities of the evolutionary development of natural organic compounds; on the use of the anisotropy of the molecules of polyfunctional compounds for the design of new molecular structures (molecular engineering), films, liquid crystals, micelles, membranes, etc. and for the creation of anisotropic ensembles of molecules and biological systems.
