چکیده

A Uniform Lying Helix (ULH) liquid crystal device (LCD) fabricated by utilizing the characteristics of shear flow alignment as well as dielectric anisotropy was demonstrated. Cholesteric liquid crystals with a short helical pitch can exhibit an electric field-induced tilt. These experimental results indicate that it is possible to realize a high-speed response flexible LCD using plastic substrates. key words: uniform lying helix mode, flexible LCD, slit coater, short-pitch cholesteric liquid crystals

Fast Flexoelectric Switching in Bimesogen-doped Polymer Stabilized Uniform Lying Helix and Vertical Standing Helix of Cholesteric Liquid Crystals

We report flexoelectric liquid crystal displays based on polymer-stabilized cholesteric liquid crystals with both uniform lying helix (PSULH) and vertical standing helix (PSVSH) modes. A method to enhance the flexoelectric switching of the CLC mixture is achieved by mixing nematic liquid crystal (NLC) constituents with the addition of a giant flexoelastic coefficient bimesogenic LC dimer into a...

Unwinding of the uniform lying helix structure in cholesteric liquid crystals next to a spatially uniform aligning surface.

The symmetry of the cholesteric uniform lying helix (ULH) structure, where the helix axis is aligned in a single direction parallel to the device substrates, is not compatible with a uniform surface alignment and an unwinding of the helical structure is expected at the interface. Fluorescence confocal polarizing microscopy experiments are performed on the interface between a bulk ULH and a unif...

Optical imaging of the effect of in-plane fields on cholesteric liquid crystals.

The effects of in-plane electric fields on the director structure of cholesteric liquid crystals has been imaged in three dimensions using fluorescence confocal polarizing microscopy. The results show that a liquid crystal lying outside the electrode gap can be significantly affected by stray fields occurring above the electrode surface, resulting in a 90 degrees rotation of the cholesteric hel...

Macroscopic model for analyzing the electro-optics of uniform lying helix cholesteric liquid crystals

A macroscopic model is developed for analyzing the electro-optics of short-pitch uniform lying helix (ULH) cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs). Both flexoelectric effect and dielectric effect make important contributions to the maximum transmittance and operation voltage of the ULH devices. Based on the proposed macroscopic approximation, we derive an analytical expression to quantitatively eval...

Review on polymer-stabilized short-pitch cholesteric liquid crystal displays

Submillisecond response times and low operation voltage are critical to next generation liquid crystal display and photonic devices. In this paper, we review the recent progress of three fastresponse short-pitch cholesteric liquid crystal modes: blue phase (BP), uniform standing helix (USH), and uniform lying helix (ULH). This review starts with a brief introduction of device structures and wor...
