Liquid crystal molecules field distortion generation mechanism as well as the speed and amount of displacement sensors and strain rate-distortion quantity sensor using this mechanism by the liquid crystal of liquidity

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mechanism for distorting a liquid crystal molecular field, and for using various physical fluctuations obtained from a strain generation phenomenon, and an application device using the mechanism.;SOLUTION: This mechanism for generating a liquid crystal molecular field strain by a flow of a liquid crystal comprises the first member having the first orientation face orientated in a liquid crystal, the second member having constraining force to liquid crystal orientation of strength different from the first orientation face on a face opposed to the first orientation face, and the liquid crystal sealed in a space formed between the first orientation face and the second orientation face. In the mechanism, the strain is generated in an orientation field of the crystal by a velocity difference between the first member and the first member.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
