Color contrast criteria in a guest-host mode liquid crystal display
Abstract:
Color contrast in a liquid crystal display using dye dichroism is investigated experimentally. Nematic liquid crystal with a positive dielectric anisotropy is used as the host. Three kinds of merocyanine dye are used as the guest. Optimum solubility of the dye is decided, and its criteria, taking account of the color difference, is established. The color difference is given in the 1976 CIE (L*, a*, b*) color scale. The contrast ratio values show good correlation with observed estimated values, and the validity of the criteria is confirmed.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
