Editing Phase diagram (section)

===Mesophases===
Some organic materials pass through intermediate states between solid and liquid; these states are called [[mesophase]]s. Attention has been directed to mesophases because they enable [[display device]]s and have become commercially important through the so-called [[liquid crystal|liquid-crystal]] technology. Phase diagrams are used to describe the occurrence of mesophases.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Chandrasekhar |first1=Sivaramakrishna  |author-link= Sivaramakrishna Chandrasekhar |year=1992 |title=Liquid Crystals |edition=2nd |pages=27–29, 356 |publisher=[[Cambridge University Press]] |isbn=978-0-521-41747-1}}</ref>
