Principle application
Liquid crystals made with different formulations have different phase transition temperatures. When the phase transition occurs, the optical properties of the liquid crystal also change, making the liquid crystal appear discolored. If liquid crystals with different phase transition temperatures are coated on a piece of paper, the temperature can be known from the change in the color of the liquid crystal. The advantage of this thermometer is that it is easy to read, but the disadvantage is insufficient accuracy. It is often used in ornamental fish tanks to indicate the water temperature.
