Optical Properties of Materials presentation

[skyboarder2]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to gather some ideas of subjects for an oral presentation in my Optical Properties of Materials class: I'd love to find something pleasant or at least nice to develop (like I heard "how a cameleon changes color?"^^), not too theoretical if possible... And with some websites/paper to prepare it...
Do you have some ideas which could help me? Thanks you a lot

That's a bit too much "not too theoretical"... But thank you though, if you think about anything else... Thanks a lot

How about discussing how a liquid crystal display works?

Typing "how LCD works" into google bring up everything from pics to video to very theoretical articles.

If you want to go further try typing in

nematic crystals

go well
