Reviews

From Archimedis' adaptive optics of 214-211 BC - when he burned the Roman fleet seizing Syracuse, through Gabor's invention of holography in 1947-8, to today's technology and beyond, this book is a fascinating account of liquid crystal technology, principles and applications, and it gives a glimpse into the future, where smart pixels, smart windows, 3D television and electronic paper are the shape of things to come.
