Paper Numbering: Proceedings of SPIE follow an e-First publication model, with papers published first online and then in print and on CD-ROM. Papers are published as they are submitted and meet publication criteria. A unique, consistent, permanent citation identifier (CID) number is assigned to each article at the time of the first publication. Utilization of CIDs allows articles to be fully citable as soon as they are published online, and connects the same identifier to all online, print, and electronic versions of the publication. SPIE uses a six-digit CID article numbering system in which:
The CID Number appears on each page of the manuscript. The complete citation is used on the first page, and an abbreviated version on subsequent pages. Numbers in the index correspond to the last two digits of the six-digit CID Number. Conference CommitteeSymposium Chairs

IntroductionAs the world’s leading conference of liquid crystal optics, photonics, and displays, the 2014 SPIE Photonics West “Emerging Liquid Crystal Technologies IX” conference successfully drew a large and enthusiastic crowd. The conference provided a venue for intellectual and enlightening discussions of the current state and exploration of emerging frontiers of liquid crystal science and technologies in optics, photonics and displays. The scientific program covered a wide range of topics such as: blue phase materials, LC nanocomposites, liquid crystal metamaterials, optics of lyotropic systems, lasing in LCs, sensing, LCs in infrared optics, LC lenses, holographic and stereoscopic systems, 3D and new display applications, electronic books, and semiconductor/LC hybrid materials. The group of participants included a good number of invited speakers, junior scientists, and graduate students, who gave their research presentations at the conference. Student papers presented at both the oral and poster sessions drew large attendance and heavy traffic. We highly appreciate the program co-chairs and committee for their contributions, which are the foundation of this successful conference. We look forward to seeing you at “Emerging Liquid Crystal Technologies X” conference in 2015. Liang-Chy Chien Antonio M. Figueiredo Neto Kristiaan Neyts Masanori Ozaki |
