I would like to know if anyone has any general knowlage on liquid crystals? Is the technology to a point that I can buy a sheet of the stuff or is it all custom work for watches, displays, etc... Can liquid crystals be made to work on a thin film. Are they binary or can they be make to be opaque? Thanks Dave ucbvax!sdcsvax!sdics:wargo Ice Cream, it isn't just for dessert anymore.
