Auteur : Office québécois de la langue française,Note :
Nematic (derived from the Greek word for thread) liquid crystals are also oriented with their long axes parallel; but they are not separated into layers, and they behave like toothpicks in a box, maintaining their orientation but free to move in any direction. Nematic substances can be aligned by electric and magnetic fields, resulting in a number of characteristics such as the ability in some cases to be electrically switched from clear to opaque. This peculiarity gives rise to many technical applications such as in image display systems.
