Hi. I found out the following:

1) Kent State University directs an organization called The Liquid Crystal
Institute. They run a clearinghouse on information about LC, especially
the physics behind it. They do also create the crystals and test them.
[Thanks to Phyllis Pugh (pcpugh@ucsd.edu) and Dave (cs109d@devon.loud.com)]

2) For Computer Display Technology, I was recommended GE Research & Development
where they design high-resolution color LCD displays. The main switchboard
phone is 518-385-2211. After that, you're on your own.
[Thanks to Dan Esmond (esmond@crd.ge.com)]

3) Several people recommended the Thomas Manufacturing Catalog "The Thomcat".
Looking under __Displays, Liquid Crystal__, I found about 2 pages of
manufacturers, most of which offer prototyping services. The catalog is
available at just about any decent public library in the Reference section.
[Thanks to Paul Ganter (peg@ecl.psu.edu), Anna (anna@cs.cslab.uw.edu), and

Thanks also to James Dehnert (pa1024@iugrad2.ucsd.edu) and Scott Scheiman
(scott@ubvax.ub.com) who offered suggestions.
