36. Interference colors result from the transmission of particular wavelengths of light when using a white light source of illumination. The extent of transmission of a particular wavelength of light depends on the retardation, Δnd, where Δn is the birefringence and d is the thickness of the birefringent film. Light propagating through the liquid crystal will be extinguished under conditions where Δnd = jξ,j = 0, 1, 2, ..., where ξ is the wavelength of light Interference colors are divided into orders according to the magnitude of the retardation: 0-550 nm (first order); 550-1100 nm (second order); 1100-1650 nm (third order).
37. The optical appearance of the liquid crystal is a complex quantity that could be described by many indexes (i.e. standard deviation of image brightness, amplitude of modulation in image intensity upon rotation between crossed polars, etc.). We chose to quantify the optical appearance by measuring the average gray scale brightness of the image due to its simplicity.
