Based on a categorization of simulation and gaming barriers developed in a previous study, this work seeks to explore in greater depth the composition and nature of these obstacles. It examines the interrelationships between the barriers and the impa

This article explores the use of simulations and games in tertiary education. It examines the extent to which academics use different simulation-based teaching approaches and how they perceive the barriers to adopting such techniques. Following a rev

Low power, storage liquid crystal displays are of interest in the foreseeable future in portable applications. The use of a bistable twisted namatic (BTN) mode in a true storage device requires long term bistability of its operating states since it i

Earlier works have discussed addressing schemes for switching Bistable twisted nematic (BTN) liquid crystal displays (LCD) with continued refresh, for video rate displays. This paper presents a novel storage-addressing scheme for the BTN mode.

It is well known that the operating state (e.g. bend or V state) of a pi-cell must be nucleated prior to operation. For direct view liquid crystal display applications, such as direct view TV, low voltage nucleation of the operating state is necessar

We discuss the role of the Miesowicz viscosities on director reorientation in pi-cells, showing that the symmetry of this system allows for a simplification of the dynamical equations. We consider practical aspects of material optimisation for increa

In this paper we present a theoretical analysis of shear induced melting in smectic A liquid crystals. We have performed a detailed numerical analysis and find that for a range of parameter values a first order transition, from a supersheared state t

The role of surface tilt in the operation of pi-cells (OCB) is discussed. We show the effect of tilt on the relative stability of the H and V states, the switching characteristics and the domain growth speed. We further study the effects of temperatu

The influence of an asymmetric periodic grooved cell surface on the 2D static director configuration of a nematic liquid crystal has been investigated. The minimum in the Frank-Oseen free energy was solved numerically with the Rapini-Papoular form of
