Abstract
The basic spectral properties and the orientation of some dichroic flu orescent dyes (derivatives of 4-amino-(N-ethylnaphthalimide)) in sever al nematic liquid crystal matrices have been studied. Moreover, the te mperature of the nematic-isotropic phase transition for the dye-liquid crystal mixtures has been determined. It has been found that the dyes investigated are characterized by parameters which make them applicab le to both passive and active ''guest-host'' liquid crystal display de vices.
