Liquid crystals are certain long chain organic chemicals that, although liquid they have a strong tendency to align in "crystal like" arrays. Normal liquids have no (or very little) order, liquid crystals have order approaching that of solid crystals.
Liquid crystals are useful in electronics (displays), temperature sensing (indicators), and other technologies because application of various stresses (e.g. electric field, heat) cause them to change their "crystal" properties in ways that solid crystals can't. These changes can then usually be made visible.

What are the similarities between solids and liquids?
They all are parts of the states of matter
Lcd ka pura nam kya hai?
It means liquid crystal display . This is full form of lcd.
What is quartz used for?
Quartz is used in the making of sandpaper, optics, glass, liquid filters, circuit boards, computer components, cement , mortar, and jewelry. Quartz crystals are also piezoelectric meaning when an electrical current passes through them they vibrate a small amount. Time can be measured from the vibrations of the quartz crystals so quartz crystals are often used in clocks.
Are some crystals eatable?
You can eat some kinds of crystals... salt crystals and sugar crystals, for example. It's probably not a good idea to eat, say, quartz crystals, though.
What properties of liquid crystals are useful in making electronic displays?
they can rotate polarization of light causing filters to block or pass it under electrical control. they consume almost no power doing this.
Liquids which keep some ordered structure are?
Liquid Crystals
Which liquids keep some ordered structure?
Yes liquids called liquid crystals can keep structure.
What is the difference between solid crystals and liquid crystals?
liquid crystals are long chain molecules that spontaneously line up into crystal like arrangements. normal liquids don't.
How do liquid with a high viscosity differ from liquid with a low viscosity?
The liquids with high viscosity flow slowly and liquids with low viscosity flow quickly.
How do liquid with a high viscosity differ from liquid with low viscosity?
The liquids with high viscosity flow slowly and liquids with low viscosity flow quickly.
How do liquids with a high viscosity differ from a liquid with a low viscosity?
Because liquids with a high viscosity flow slowly as to where a liquid with a low viscosity flow quickly
How do liquids with a high viscosity differ from a liquids with a low viscosity?
Because liquids with a high viscosity flow slowly as to where a liquid with a low viscosity flow quickly

How do gasses liquid and soilds differ in respect of the spaces between particles?
Liquids have smaller spaces between the molecules than a gas, and Solids have smaller spaces than liquids.
What is difference batween nemati and smectic liquid crystals?
types of liquid crystals
Is there a difference between fluids and liquids?
Fluids refer to both liquids and gases; liquids are just liquids. That is, Fluids = Liquid OR Gas Liquid = Liquid We can see that liquids are actually a fluid.
