Option C6- Liquid Crystals -Garrett Acker

C Describe the meaning of the term liquid crystals. Liquid crystals are fluids that have physical properties (electrical, optical and elasticity) that are dependent on molecular orientation relative to some fixed axis in the material. Examples include graphite, cellulose, the solution extruded by a spider to form silk, and DNA. Be aware that liquid-crystal materials may not always be in a liquid-crystal phase.

C.6.2 Distinguish between thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals. Thermotropic liquid-crystal materials are pure substances that show liquid-crystal behaviour over a temperature range between the solid and liquid states. The biphenyl nitriles are common examples. Lyotropic liquid crystals are solutions that show the liquid-crystal state at certain concentrations. Examples include soap and water.

C.6.3 Describe the liquid-crystal state in terms of the arrangement of the molecules and explain thermotropic behaviour. Only the nematic phase will be assessed. Rodshaped molecules are distributed randomly but, on average, point in the same direction. Increased thermal agitation disrupts this directional order until it is lost when the normal liquid phase is formed.

C.6.4 Outline the principles of the Liquid Crystal display device. Only a simplified treatment is required. The ability of the liquid-crystal molecules to transmit light depends on the orientation of the molecules. The orientation of the polar molecules can be controlled by the application of a small voltage across a small film of the material. The areas of the display that are light and dark can thus be controlled. Liquid-crystal displays are used in digital watches, calculators and laptops because of their small current requirements.

C.6.5 Discuss the properties needed for a substance to be used in liquid-crystal displays. Properties include: chemically stable a liquid-crystal phase stable over a suitable range of temperatures polar in order to change orientation when an electric field is applied rapid switching speed.
