Title: Howard Simmons, III: Innovator in Liquid Crystal Technology
Introduction
Howard Simmons, III is a notable inventor based in Newark, NJ (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of liquid crystal technology, particularly in the area of photostabilization.
Latest Patents
Simmons holds a patent for "Biphenyl derivatives for photostabilization in pulsed optical darkening." This invention describes an apparatus for a liquid crystal image projection system that includes a liquid crystal cell. The system utilizes optical apparatus to induce a uniform texture of scattering centers in the liquid crystal cell by impinging a pulse of optical energy. This process allows the optical energy to be absorbed and converted into thermal energy, heating the liquid crystal to a second temperature. The end of the pulse results in cooling, which causes the liquid crystal centers to scatter in a uniform texture.
