"Version: 20141201"--Title page verso."A Morgan & Claypool publication as part of IOP Concise Physics"--Title page verso.Includes bibliographical references.Preface -- Acknowledgements -- Author biography -- Liquid crystals -- Experiments with liquid crystals -- The liquid crystal display -- Accompanying concepts -- Elementary teaching module -- Further reading."The aim of the textbook is to introduce liquid crystals into undergraduate courses of general physics. The main motivation for the introduction is the fact that every student spends a significant part of the day looking into liquid crystals hidden in screens of various products with LCD screens. How the LCD screen operates and what are the properties of these special materials called liquid crystals that enable the functioning of the screens. Next, the content of the textbook could be welcome to lecturers and students for illustration of some concepts in thermodynamics and more advanced optics. Liquid crystals as such form an important part of soft matter. So, the textbook can be used for demonstration and laboratory experiments that may accompany lectures on soft matter physics."Students in physics and chemistry.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader.Professor Dr. Mojca Cepic started her career as a high school teacher of physics. After a few years she left the school and became a PhD student in a program financed by the Slovenian Agency for Science and Development called Young researchers and graduated in theoretical studies of soft matter physics, more precisely, by development of a phenomenological theoretical model describing phases in antiferroelectric liquid crystals at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. After finishing her PhD she started to work as an assistant for physics at the Faculty of Education, University of Ljubljana, where she has returned to teaching physics.Title from PDF title page (viewed on December 4, 2014).
