Inkjet and electrohydrodynamic printing of liquid crystal droplets for functional optical elements

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the use of Drop-on-Demand (DoD) printing methodologies for the fabrication of optical components using liquid crystal (LC) mixtures. The two DoD printing methodologies considered in this thesis are inkjet and electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing. Together, these methodologies facilitate the precise deposition of LC-related mixtures across a wide range of length scales, spanning droplets that vary in size from 1 micron to several hundred microns in droplet diameter.
