Abstract
Liquid crystals are the mast significant molecular electronics development to have taken place over recent years. The anisotropic optical and dielectric properties of these self-assembled organic molecular systems have enabled new flat panel display technologies better suited to the electronics industry needs than the ubiquitous CRT. Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) offer considerable operational advantages; reductions in volume, weight, power, coupled with improvements in reliability, design flexibility and image quality. These benefits have resulted in the emergence of LCDs from the niche markets of watches and calculators in the seventies through the portable PC markets of the eighties to providing the high definition television products of the nineties.<>
