The orderly beauty of liquid crystals
They're in everywhere in our screens, but what are liquid crystals? 🖥️ How are they liquid? Or crystalline? In this video, we discover the colourful physics of ordered fluids!

5:40 that finally explains why dark mode/black screens consume more energy than white screens in LCD (while its the opposite on led). I knew that LCD used more energy when displaying black because my gameboy battery light would turn red everytime a black screen appeared, but never knew why. Great video!

Wait.. I keep all my backgrounds as just pure black because I thought it was better for energy consumption, wow. Thank you!
I've watched dozens of videos on how LCD displays work. Only now, after watching this video, did I really understand it! Great video, thanks!
This video is absolutely incredible. That was so informative and well presented!
Awesome work! Super well explained. I always look forward to your videos!
Amazing video. I would like to watch another video on different liquid crystals or even taking a little depper understanding of the ones you showed us.
Wonderful work! Helps understand a complex concept in a simple, intriguing way.
Outstanding Video. This video ought to have more views and this channel ought to have more subscribers!
This video is incredibly clear and concise. Thank you!
Fantastic video!!!
Thank you for the thorough explanation
Well explained and presented👍
Lucid and accessible presentation. Helped with introduction to LC polymers.
this is really intesteresting. You presented it really well, probably would have taken 3 college classes to grasp what you did in 8 minutes.
Really great video!! Going to use this as my go to when explaining to others.
Good en well explained thanks
Amazing video and presentation...Thumbs-Up
Very very well explained thank you!
It feels Awesome watching your presentation
It really helped a lot! Thank you.
Now I understand! Fantastically explained! But where did you get that brezel? :D
C'est une approche très théorique et universitaire des cristaux liquides, un petit show des différentes interfaces des années 60, utilisant les cristaux liquides aurais apporté une petite approche ingénieur au sujet. Surtout que niveau ingé lcd avant le pixel c'est très "cru" très visuel comme technologie. C'est plus simple que nos lcd d'aujourd'hui on peu les décortiquer et apprendre comment l'ingénieur à adapter les cristaux liquides sans notre tendance à miniaturiser. Je critique parceque la vidéo est quasiment parfaite c'est incroyable. Trop trop fort la qualité, la maîtrise du sujet, tout est carré. C'est vraiment de la vidéo de qualité félicitations !
Crystal clear explanation thank you for making this video 🤝
Great video!
Thank you for that explain 💝
this video is so cool
Cant agree no more, really easy to understand, thanks
Came from LTT, great explanation in one video.
So nice information
Maybe it's worth talking about different types of liquid crystals? Say ionic liquid crystals, etc etc
thank you, thank you so much! I've had trouble understanding what's up with liquid crystals. Thankfully, I found this! Saved me from a lot of probable breakdowns.
You deserve more subscribers
Such a good explanation. Sad that you'll stopped uploading :(
well concept sis
Top video!!!
Good stuff.
I'm tripping balls great video
Great video, you explained the concepts very well and the animations were right on point. I have to point out a mistake at 1:54 - the Bend configuration is the one on the left and the Splay configuration is the one on the right, as per Peter Colling's book Liquid Crystals (Edit: I was wrong because of misinterpretation)

Thanks! But we stand by what we put in the video... Splay is a simple divergence, like on the schematic on the left.

my apologies, I misinterpreted your bend image and you are definitely correct. It all comes down to how the orientation of the director changes with position
Lovely video, very interesting! Simply explained and informative. Could you, for the future, try leaving more time between upload and premiere? 'cause it feels a little silly to watch the premiere in 360p when you could come back a couple hours later and it'd be HD :)

Thanks for the feedback! The video had been uploaded for weeks in HD. We're all really puzzled that KZread decided to cap the resolution during the premiere at 360p. We have no idea why! Have you watched other premieres on the channel by any chance? If so, did you witness the same issue for other videos?

Comment for the algorithm, really good stuff guys!
Wow amazing video 👍👍👍😀😀😀
Excellent
How do we get 256 different shades of color on a subpixel ? Does the liquid crystal change the intensity of the light that passes through aswell ?
I was going to buy a monitor and now I'm here.
We are the liquid crystal being vibrating with energy 💦💎🧘 And I am starting to understand how this is being naturally and artificially influenced in us. Thank you for the lesson. ✌️😊💛
my mind now go buff!!
what could cause this type of effect to show up on film monitor?
💖valubal inform mam 💖
4:55 Not sure implying I’m going to disappear or my defects will disappear. Both are true, I guess.
God of physics is here 😍
3:39 : I dont'd understand, sees like the polarization of the incident beam didn't change at this direction. Why "completely different"?

I have the same question. I don't know if it has to be with, let's say, a quantitative value for the interaction of the light with the molecule. It's not the same when is travelling parallel to the longest direction, than when it's perpendicular.
I, myself.. like both of these phases... am uncertain.
im watching this on an LED display
