摘要：

We review the state of the art concerning drops and shells of liquid crystal. We especially focus on the defect structures observed with liquid crystals with different degrees of order under different boundary conditions and on the transitions between these structures. We conclude with an overview where we emphasize those areas that are still unexplored.
