Article Synopsis
- A new optical storage device uses a combination of nematic liquid crystal, azobenzene, and photopolymerizable monomers to store images by controlling the material's birefringence before polymerization.
- The process involves a transition from nematic to isotropic phases driven by photoisomerization, requiring precise timing to ensure effective storage.
- The technology also suggests the possibility of creating grey-shades by utilizing the electric-field acceleration of reverse isomerization.
