Flexoelectric effect and human eye perception on the image flickering of a liquid crystal display
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigated the flexoelectric effect of a fringe field switching liquid crystal (LC) cell and characterised the resultant image flicker with different LC mixtures at different frame rates. Incorporating with human eye perception of 10 observers, we found that LC mixtures with a dielectric anisotropy smaller than ~7 lead to unnoticeable image flicker at 60 frames per second. The obtained flicker sensitivity line serves as important guidelines for optimising LC materials and display devices.

Technology of displaying static images in portable displays, advertising panels and price tags pursues significant reduction in power consumption and in product cost. Driving at a low-frequency electric field in fringe-field switching (FFS) mode can be one of the efficient ways to save powers of the recent portable devices, but a serious drop of image-quality, so-called image-flickering, has be...
متن کاملHigh speed liquid crystal over silicon display based on the flexoelectro-optic effect.
One of the key technologies to evolve in the displays market in recent years is liquid crystal over silicon (LCOS) microdisplays. Traditional LCOS devices and applications such as rear projection televisions, have been based on intensity modulation electro-optical effects, however, recent developments have shown that multi-level phase modulation from these devices is extremely sought after for ...

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...
