최근 액정을 주입한 속이 빈 광섬유(Hollow fiber)와 주기적인 전극을 이용하여 전기적으로 제어 가능한 장주기 격자에 대해서 보고된 바 있다. 액정의 중요한 특성 중의 하나는 그 광축이 외부의 전기장에 의해 동적으로 재배열된다는 점이다. 또한 액정은 광축에 따라 굴절률이 다른 비등방성 물질이기 때문에 광축의 배열에 따라, 그리고 입사하는 빛의 편광에 따라 그 빛이 느끼는 굴절률이 달라지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 입사하는 빛의 편광에 따른 액정 장주기 광섬유 격자의 특성에 대해 연구하였다. 주기적인 전극의 길이는 3 cm이고 주기는 500 ${\mu}m$ 이다. 액정을 주입한 속이 빈 광섬유의 길이는 15 mm 이다. 입사하는 빛이 이상(extraordinary) 편광 상태일 때 약 6 dB 의 투과 손실을 나타냈으며 그 대역폭은 약 15 nm 이었다. 이 때 외부에서 인가한 전압은 150 V 였다. 입사하는 빛이 정상(ordinary) 편광 상태일 때에는 액정의 유효 굴절률이 외부 전기장에 대해 변하지 않기 때문에 장주기 투과 특성을 얻을 수 없었다.

본 연구에서는 액정디스플레이의 전기광학특성 분석에 사용되고 있는 두 가지 모델링 방법인 벡터접근법과 텐서접근법에서, 각각의 지배방정식을 시뮬레이션 함으로써 두 접근법의 결과를 비교 및 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 1차원적 시뮬레이션과 함께 측면전장효과 및 disclination line등의 영향을 모두 고려하기 위해 3차원적 액정분자배열 분포를 동일한 조건에 대하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. 두 접근방법에 대한 동적 특성은 단위화소 내의 국부 점에서 많은 차이를 보임을 확인하였으며, 이에 따라 네마틱액정의 방향자에 대한 네마틱 대칭성이 고려된 텐서접근법이 물리적으로 의미가 있으며 실제 현상도 명확하게 설명할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

We fabricated a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) cell using LC with negative dielectric anisotropy and UV curable monomer exhibiting transparent state initially (called normally transparent (NT)) and studied the electro-optic characteristics. The NT PDLC cell made with the ratio of LC : monomer = 70/30 wt%, curing temperature of 20 $^{\circ}C$ and strong UV intensity of 198 ㎽/$\textrm{cm}^2$ had high contrast ratio and showed good electro-optic characteristics. In this condition, LC is aligned vertically on the substrate due to the vertical alignment layer and the polymer made with the UV exposure does not influence the alignment of the LC much. Therefore, the transmittance at the zero voltage is very high and the scattering state of the cell is good after applying the voltage because LC with negative dielectric anisotropy tries to align perpendicular to the field. And also, the NT PDLC cell showed better viewing angle characteristics than that in the normally scattering (NS) PDLC.

The effects of molecular environments on photoisomerization of an azobenzene group were investigated using In-situ UV/Vis spectroscopy and optical anisotropy measurement technique. The reversible and repeatable photoisomeritation reactions of azobenzene were observed by irradiating the film containing 4-hydroxyazobenzene and by measuring absorption intensities of the characteristic bands of trans and cis isomers simultaneously. When the self-assembled monolayer with azobenzene groups was used as an alignment layer for a liquid crystal cell, the homeotropic alignment was induced due to their compact packing structures of azobenfene groups along the vertical direction of the substrate. By irradiating UV light on this cell, the trans-azobenzene groups change to cis-isomers through the photoisonlerieation and then resulting in the planar alignment of liquid crystal molecules.

This study described about a liquid crystalline technology that is used in cosmetics industry. Various intermediate phases may exist between solid and liquid. At high surfactant concentration, several liquid crystalline phases can be made to have formed. Although molecular arrangement with crystallization is not regular, it is known that more relative regular state is liquid crystalline or meso-phase than liquid phase. Usually, it described in detail about manufacturing method that explained about a kind of liquid crystalline technology in cosmetics, a new liquid crystalline technology, and makes liquid crystalline. Specialty, it introduced about kind of special an emulsifier to form liquid crystalline. There were hydrogenated lecithin, ceramide, dipalmitoylhydroxyproline, DEA-cetyl phosphate, Gemini-surfactant in representative raw material to form liquid crystalline.

In this study, we prepared liquid crystal emulsions composed of $C_{12-20}$ alkyl glucoside, $C_{14-22}$ alcohol, and behenyl alcohol and performed structure analysis using various analytical equipment. First, as an important characteristic of liquid crystal emulsions, maltese cross patterns and multi-layer structure were observed by a polarized microscope and cryo-SEM. Also, formation of liquid crystal phase was confirmed by DSC and multi-layer lamellar structure having an interlayer spacing approximately $305{\AA}$ was confirmed by small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS). The alkyl chain arrangement formed orthorhombic structure of a lamellar structure of the liquid crystal emulsion was confirmed by wide angle x-ray scattering (WAXS). These results suggest that information on the various physical properties obtained through the research of liquid crystal emulsion structure is expected to be widely used in cosmetics development in the future.

The birefringence of distributed, uniaxially anisotropic molecules like liquid crystals is calculated as the degree of ordering is varied. The relation between the normalized birefringence ${\Delta}n_{rel}$ and the orientational order parameter S is investigated. The distribution function, which enables one to monitor the degree of ordering of liquid crystals including randomly distributed ones, is introduced. Using this distribution function, a series of distributed liquid crystals with order parameters ranging from 0 to 1 are generated, and ${\Delta}n_{rel}$ and S of the correspondingly distributed liquid crystals are calculated. Based on the calculated data, it is revealed that ${\Delta}n_{rel}$ and S satisfy the quasi-linear relation of $S=(1+a){\Delta}n_{rel}-a{\Delta}n^2_{rel}$, where a can be approximated as $n_o{\frac{{\Delta}n}{4}}$. The anisotropy of molecular polarizability is also calculated, using the birefringence, and separately following Vuks' method and Neugebauer's method, and it is shown that the relations between S and the molecular-polarizability anisotropy are also quasi-linear.

The X-ray detector by liquid crystal with front light was proposed and verified by a X-ray image. The proposed detector utilizes the visible light instead of the electric signal by transistor. Therefore, it shows low noise and can be fabricated at low cost. The liquid crystal detector uses the orientation change of the liquid crystal molecule by conductivity change of the photoconductive layer. We can get the X-ray image from the transmitted light through the liquid crystal. The X-ray dose was calibrated from the measured transmittance of the visible light after comparison to the reference transmittance curve of the liquid crystal. The amorphous Se was used for photo con ducting layer and parylene was used for the liquid crystal alignment instead of the conventional alignment layer which needs high-temperature process over 200℃. The proposed X-ray detector can decrease the X-ray dose by high sensitivity which was verified by simulation. After the fabrication of the X-ray detector, the X-ray image was obtained as a function of the bias voltage to the liquid crystal. 10 lines/mm resolution was obtained from the line pattern and we will apply it to the 17inch diagonal liquid crystal X-ray detector with 3π retardation.

The stratum corneum is formed from keratinocytes and intercellular lipids, with ceramide as the main component of intercellular lipids. Ceramides are one of the important components of the intercellular lipids to form a lamellar structure, but they are insoluble and therefore are not suitable for direct application to the skin. Thus, it was intended to apply ceramide to the formulation of pluronic lecithin organogel (PLO gel), which received constant attention among drug delivery systems. A suitable oil for formulation was selected and a PLO gel containing ceramide was manufactured. Liquid crystal formation and variation were observed using polarized microscopes, and viscoelastic analysis was performed to find out the viscoelastic behavior of the PLO gel. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) analysis were performed to confirm the structures in the formulation. Results showed that the size and stability of the liquid crystal differed depending on the content ratio of ceramide and lecithin in the PLO gel containing ceramide. Furthermore, viscoelastic analysis showed the stability of the formulation, and SAXS/WAXS analysis confirmed that the PLO gel without ceramide had hexagonal structure of the quadrilateral system array, and the PLO gel with ceramide had the lamellar structure of the quadrilateral system array.
