Summary on Grant Application Form
Display makers have neglected liquid crystal effects other than twisted nematic modulation because it is so good with divergent white light. But monochromatic and collimated illumination can be used if a screen subsequently converts this to divergent colour. Under these conditions some previously neglected effects promise high scales of multiplexing: this project will show that these can be used to make high resolution passive displays.
