Prism grating using polymer stabilized nematic liquid crystal
A prism grating using polymer stabilized liquid crystal was fabricated and its diffraction characteristics evaluated. Such a prism grating exhibits not only a periodic grating structure but also a prism-like gradient refractive index within each grating period. As a result, the diffraction behavior is asymmetric. The first order exhibits high diffraction efficiency while the zeroth order has a ...
متن کاملSheared Nematic Liquid Crystal Polymer Monolayers
We provide a comprehensive study on the planar (2D) orientational distributions of nematic polymers under an imposed shear flow of arbitrary strength. We extend previous analysis for persistence of equilibria in steady shear and for transitions to unsteady limit cycles, from closure models [21] to the Doi-Hess 2D kinetic equation. A variation on the Boltzmann distribution analysis of Constantin...
متن کاملTransflective display using a polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal.
A wide view, submillisecond response, and single-cell-gap transflective display using a blue-phase liquid crystal (BPLC) is proposed. To balance the optical phase retardation between transmissive (T) and reflective (R) regions, in-plane protrusion electrodes are formed with different gaps in the two regions. This display exhibits reasonably high optical efficiency and well matched voltage depen...
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 کاملLow-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...
