Diffractive liquid crystal device for privacy window with a low operating voltage
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate using a diffractive smart window with homogeneous-aligned (HA) liquid crystals (LCs) owing to the large spatial phase difference in all directions opaque state. The proposed grating cell had high haze value (88.57%), which was 1.16 times higher than previously reported vertically aligned (VA) cells because twist angle what VA had. Our HA can be used various applications.

Liquid crystal lens with large focal length tunability and low operating voltage.
We demonstrate a tunable focus liquid crystal (LC) lens by sandwiching a homogeneous LC layer between a planar electrode and a curved electrode. The curved electrode which is made of conductive polymer has parabolic shape with a large apex distance. Such design dramatically reduces the phase loss which leads to a short focal length (~15 cm). By using a thin top glass substrate on the curved ele...
متن کاملLow voltage blue-phase liquid crystal displays
A protrusion electrode structure is proposed to dramatically lower the operation voltage of the emerging blue-phase liquid crystal displays BP-LCDs . Simulation results indicate that the generated horizontal electric field is not only strong but also penetrates deeply into the bulk LC layer. As a result, a low voltage 10 Vrms and reasonably high transmittance 70% BP-LCD can be achieved. This ap...
متن کاملLow voltage blue phase liquid crystal for spatial light modulators.
We demonstrated a low-voltage polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) for phase-only modulation with a liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCoS). A new device configuration was developed, which allows the incident laser beam to traverse the BPLC layer four times before exiting the LCoS. As a result, the 2π phase change voltage is reduced to below 24 V in the visible region. The response time...
متن کاملA new TN-ECB mode reflective liquid crystal display with large cell gap and low operating voltage
A new TN-ECB mode liquid crystal display is developed for reflective liquid crystal displays (RLCDs). This new TN-ECB mode has a larger cell gap and lower operating voltage than most recently developed RLCDs. It also has a small wavelength dispersion and has a good dark state at the low operating voltage. It is particularly suitable for reflective crystalline Si backplane CMOS AMLCDs.
متن کاملLow-voltage-driven electromechanical effects of swollen liquid-crystal elastomers.
We experimentally investigate, in detail, electromechanical effects in liquid-crystal elastomers (LCEs) previously swollen with low-molecular-weight liquid crystals (LMWLCs). Both polydomain (POLY) and monodomain (MONO) LCEs were studied. We used a well known LMWLC, 4-n-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl (5CB) as a solvent. After swelling POLY and MONO LCEs (LSCE) with 5CB, shape changes were measured by r...
