Abstract: | A novel procedure for an observation of a liquid crystal texture is proposed by using a UV curable liquid crystal. Optical observations from a cross-section of the Cano wedge cell are demonstrated and layered structures of cholesteric LC are visualized clearly. The structures near the Grandjean lines are then revealed in detail from images. From the observations, it is confirmed that the texture near the Grandjean line is similar to fingerprint texture |
