Liquid Crystal

#1 Post by Perri1618 » Fri Dec 14, 2018 5:32 am

Hi everyone! I am new here, and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy liquid crystal?
I can not get enough from LCD screens for what I want to due with it.

Lots of different chemicals that could be called liquid crystals, including many soaps. Are you looking strictly for the type used in LCDs? Or just something that looks cool under polarized light? Or something else again?

The recycling place in my town seems to have an endless supply of dead equipment with LCD's FWIW. Never tried to extract the liquid crystal, though.
