The goal of the Kent State University Liquid Crystal Institute is to provide students with the practical skills and fundamental knowledge necessary to pursue a career in liquid crystal displays. Students are prepared for direct employment either within the industry, the government or higher education. Students who chose study at the advanced level are taught to research independently for private, industrial, government, or research institutions.
