Abstract
Liquid crystals—the mysterious expression used to describe the class of materials that can flow yet remain ordered—have a surprisingly long history reaching well back into the last millennium. The earliest days of liquid crystal existence and use are difficult to define because so little is recorded. And the most recent history of liquid crystals is difficult to track because so much is recorded. A recounting of the history of liquid crystals is like flying over mountains—it is easy to see the high points but the beauty of the details requires a closer look. In this fly-over of the field of liquid crystals, we will see the high points and be introduced to some of the scientists who trekked through the details.
