Liquid Crystals by Merck Bring Communications to Life

A brilliant home theater experience or crystal-clear road maps displayed on your navigation system: Liquid crystals from Merck work their magic in creating a sharp picture on monitors – which we cannot do without in our daily routine marked by communications. They come in ultra-flat big screen televisions, as well as in mobile phones, electronic toys and digital cameras. Merck develops special liquid crystal mixtures for all types of display technology. With more than 40 years of experience in the field of liquid crystals, Merck is the world's leading manufacturer of materials needed for liquid crystal displays (LCDs: liquid crystal displays). Merck also produces materials for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs).

As an innovation leader, Merck is constantly developing new technologies and markets for its customers in close cooperation with the research and development departments in the display industry. The advanced LCD materials and high-quality liquid crystal mixtures developed specifically for customers by the Merck laboratories are also suitable for making future applications and ideas a reality

 
The Perfect Pixel

Liquid Crystals for each LCD Technology

Liquid crystals form the basis of modern flat screens. Merck develops special liquid crystal mixtures for each LCD technology and is constantly developing new technologies as the market leader. Two particular properties of liquid crystals are used for LCDs: On the one hand, they flow like liquid, but they also have the physical behavior of a crystal – anisotropic or directionally dependent. To ensure that an LC display actually works, a layer of liquid crystal mixture with a uniform orientation must be present.

 
OLED Materials

OLED Materials for Displays

Organic light emitting diodes – OLEDs for short – have opened up whole new dimensions in display technology. They allow displays with brilliant colors and sharp picture quality that catch the eye from every angle, as well as being very energy efficient and long-lasting. As a leading manufacturer, Merck offers a complete portfolio of premium materials for OLED displays under the livilux®  brand name. These include small molecules for vacuum processing and soluble material systems for printing processes.
