In fact, for the reflective subpixel of a transflective display, a single polarizer is always used. The optics of a single polarizer LCD have been analyzed by many authors [32, 33]. The most common mode is the mixed TN-twist birefringent (MTB) mode. The RVC and the TVC can be matched simply by adding a quarter-wave film, as shown in [32, 33]. Thus, if an internal retardation film can be used, such MTB modes can be used with good optical quality. 

The polarization properties of single-molecule fluorescence excitation spectra have been explored and utilized to detennine botli tlie molecular transition dipole moment orientation and tlie deptli of single pentacene molecules in a /7-teriDhenyl crystal, taking into account tlie rotation of tlie polarization of tlie excitation light by tlie birefringent... 

Pure and doped crystals allow investigation of chromophore interactions and exciton motion. Polarized spectroscopy can be uniquely useful for assigning spectral features and determining orientations of intermediates or products in single crystals, but birefringence often makes the technique less versatile than might have been imagined (Section II.D.4). 

PMCS-6 diffraction patterns in the temperature range from Tg to 250 - 300°C displays a single nar-row reflex (1/2A = 20 ) of high intensity at 20 =0.5°, corresponded to the interchain distance. Opti-cal observations on a polarization microscope indicate that the polymers possess the birefringence property [32],... 

Temperature versus enthalpy profiles similar to those shown in Figure 4-15 are obtained when starches are heated either in excess water, that is, when water stareh ratios are equal to two or greater, or under intermediate water content. The start of the endothermic peak at To corresponds to loss of birefringence, in the form of the typical Maltese cross, when the starch granule is viewed under polarized light. A single endotherm, such as that obtained under excess water conditions, is referred to as the...
