Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last twenty years, liquid crystal (LC) has been widely used in industrial displays, replacing CRT. In addition, research on LC materials, LC optical devices and their practical applications has also attracted a lot of attention. For example, blue phase LCs, ferroelectric LC and nematic liquid crystal are investigated to improve their properties. Nematic LC was used to generate 3D solitary waves in nonlinear optics. LC could also be used to manipulate the flow of light in photonic microstructures, nano-optics and nanophotonics. Many novel opportunities need to be found on the basis of understanding LC molecular configuration and physical properties. This Special Issue of Symmetry features articles about LC optics with symmetry as the unifying theme. We are soliciting contributions that cover a broad range of topics, including the latest theory and experimental work on LC materials and their optical applications; dynamics of LC and polymer; the latest research on LC displays; LC polarization grating and its application; and symmetry and asymmetry in LC optics. We cordially and earnestly invite researchers to contribute their original and high-quality research papers which will inspire advances in liquid crystal theory, material synthesis, devices and their applications. Submit your paper and select the journal “Symmetry” and the Special Issue “Symmetry and Liquid Crystal Optics” via the MDPI submission system. Our papers will be published on a rolling basis, and we will be pleased to receive your submission once you have finished it.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
