  4. Abstract:
  5. This study presents a new method to develop a thin controllable retarder/modulator with spatial axial symmetry by rotating a freely suspended of 4-Cyano-4-n-pentylbiphenyl (5CB) and N-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-4-butylaniline (MBBA) liquid crystal films using mechanical method or as a liquid film motor
