liquid crystal-noun
any of various liquids in which the atoms or molecules are regularly arrayed in either one dimension or two dimensions, the order giving rise to optical properties, such as anisotropic scattering, associated with the crystals. Their rodlike molecules maintain themselves in parallel (side by side) alignment. This particular structure gives them useful optical properties.

"Liquid crystals have phases intermediate to the liquid and solid phases; that is, they can flow like liquids while retaining anisotropic properties of crystalline solids, meaning that their molecular structure has a spatial alignment or orientation. They can be imagined as crystals whose molecules are able to move around, as in a liquid, while maintaining their relative orientation...Electrical signals in digital displays (thin computer screens as on laptops, and the displays of digital watches) flip their orientation switching them between opaque and reflective states." ... American Scientist Magazine, May/June, 2000, page 259. Form is about spatial structure.
