Meanings
- not comparableIn a homeotropic manner.
Once gathered, leave the sample alone for few minutes, and hence a sample of clear homeotropically aligned state is obtained.
2016, Salah Obayya, Computational Liquid Crystal Photonics2 more examples
The change in birefringence changes the state of polarization of the light sufficiently to allow the light to pass through the second polarizer passes unaffected through regions of the homeotropically aligned liquid crystal since only n_⊥ is encountered.
1973, Microtecnic, volume 27, page 354In the case of homeotropically treated phase change dichroic LCDs, it quickly decays from 100% to <5% level instantaneously and then merges from 5% to zero level reasonably fast exhibiting almost no memory.
