The Glenn H. Brown Liquid Crystal Institute (LCI) at Kent State University is the nation's leader in liquid crystal technology and education, blending basic and applied research on liquid crystals. This approach has resulted in technological advances and new applications such as display tablets, optical shutters, variable transmission windows, projection display devices, and flexible displays. Established in 1965, the institute is now directed by Dr. Oleg D. Lavrentovich [cite web |url= http://www.lci.kent.edu/admin.html|title= LCI Administrative Staff |accessdate=2007-07-13 |format= |work= ] and is housed at KSU's Liquid Crystal and Materials Sciences building, completed in 1996.

The LCI is home to the Chemical Physics Interdisciplinary Program, [cite web |url= http://www.lci.kent.edu/cpip.htm|title= Liquid Crystal Institute--Chemical Physics Interdisciplinary Program--Kent State University |accessdate=2008-09-05 |format= |work= ] which offers masters and Ph.D. studies in the physics and chemistry of liquid crystals and their applications. The program is open to incoming students with degrees in physics, chemistry, engineering, and materials science.
