Low-voltage and fast-response polymer- stabilized hyper-twisted nematic liquid crystal
We report a low-voltage and submillisecond-response polymerstabilized hyper-twisted-nematic (HTN) liquid crystal cell with a large dielectric anisotropy host mixture. To correct the measured voltagedependent transmittance, we have to take the voltage shielding effect of the alignment layers into consideration. Both Kerr effect and flexoelectro-optic effect contribute to the observed induced bir...
متن کاملFreedericksz transition in polymer-stabilized nematic liquid crystals
We have constructed polymer-stabilized nematic liquid crystals by photopolymerizing diacrylate monomers in the nematic phase. The orientation of the liquid crystal was controlled by the polymer network. We studied the Freedericksz transition in these systems. Experimentally we studied the transition by measuring the capacitance of the liquid crystal cells as a function of applied voltage. The t...
متن کاملDefect Core Structures in Twisted Nematic and Twisted Chiral Liquid Crystals
The defect structures of s = ±1/2 twist disclinations in twisted nematic and twisted chiral liquid crystals have been investigated within the Landau-de Gennes theory numerically. Our results show that there exists eigenvalue exchange across the defect core of both the two models. The defect core is essentially biaxial and never isotropic. The defect centre is uniaxial and is surrounded by a str...
متن کاملSpontaneously Twisted Nonchiral Nematic Liquid Crystals
Miroscopic theories of nematic liquid crystals allow us to calculate from a few molecular parameters a number of macroscopic and static properties, such as the equation of state, the short and long-range order parameters and the visco-elastic coefficients. An attempt to provide such a microscopic theory which, for the more common nematics, fits the experimental data for the elastic constants an...
متن کاملVariable optical attenuator based on polymer stabilized twisted nematic liquid crystal.
A variable optical attenuator (VOA) based on polymer stabilized twisted nematic (PSTN) liquid crystal (LC) is demonstrated. Comparing with the normal twisted nematic LC-based VOA, PSTN exhibits a much faster response time. Moreover, the polymer networks effectively eliminate the backflow effect which exists in the normal TNLC cell. The attenuation mechanism of the PSTN LC was studied. Both pola...
