نویسندگان
چکیده
A bistable liquid crystal display based on the bend and splay configurations has been demonstrated. This display can be switched between the bend and splay deformation in a three-electrode configuration and has infinite bistable lifetime. It also has wide viewing angles, excellent contrast ratios, and very fast selection. Selection electric pulse duration of 50 ms can be used to switch this display, implying the possibility of a high information content applications. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Bend - Splay LCD
A bistable liquid crystal display based on the bend and splay configurations has been demonstrated. This display can remain indefinitely either in the splay deformation or in the bend deformation mode. It has the advantages of wide viewing angles, good contrast ratios, faster selection and low operating voltages.
متن کامل51.1: Invited Paper: Bistable LCDs based on a New Alignment Technology
Several new nematic bistable liquid crystal displays based on a new alignment surface have been demonstrated. Nano-textured alignment surfaces enable the generation of arbitrary pretilt angles and arbitrary anchoring energy. Based on such surfaces, three types of bistable devices have been developed. They are bistable bend-splay, bistable twist-twist and bistable bend-twisted displays.
متن کاملMechanisms of flexoelectric switching in a zenithally bistable nematic device
Flexoelectric effects in nematic liquid crystals are well known to occur through combinations of either the sum or the difference of the splay and bend polarizations. In this work we examine the role of both mechanisms in the switching of zenithally bistable nematic devices, and conclude that both can cause bistable switching. Interestingly, we find that the most important flexoelectric coeffic...
متن کاملPolar Smectic Films
We report on a new experimental procedure for forming and studying polar smectic liquid-crystal films. A free-standing smectic film is put in contact with a liquid drop, so that the film has one liquid-crystal/air interface and one liquid-crystal/liquid interface. This polar environment results in changes in the orientational order parameter textures observed in the film, including a boojum tex...
متن کاملElasticity, viscosity, and orientational fluctuations of a lyotropic chromonic nematic liquid crystal disodium cromoglycate.
Using dynamic light scattering, we study orientational fluctuation modes in the nematic phase of a self-assembled lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal (LCLC) disodium cromoglycate and measure the Frank elastic moduli and viscosity coefficients. The elastic moduli of splay (K1) and bend (K3) are in the order of 10 pN while the twist modulus (K2) is an order of magnitude smaller. The splay constant...
