چکیده

A new simple, fast and accurate method for liquid crystal cell twist angle and cell gap measurement was demonstrated. It is based on a real time spectral measurement of the linear polarization preservation modes. Prior knowledge of the twist angle or director orientations is not required. This method is straight forward and does not require complicated calculations or curve fitting. This system can be easily implemented in commercial instruments.

Transmissive liquid crystal cell parameters measurement by spectroscopic ellipsometry

A powerful method for liquid crystal ~LC! cell twist angle and retardation measurement is presented. This method is based on the spectroscopic ellipsometry. By varying the polarizer and analyzer angles only, a transmission spectrum containing null transmission at some particular wavelengths can be obtained. Analytical equations derived bases on a polarization analysis of twisted birefringent la...

Achromatic polarization switch using a film-compensated twisted nematic liquid crystal cell

A broadband polarization switch consisting of an active twisted nematic liquid crystal cell and two passive uniaxial compensation films is analysed. The conjugate gradient method was used for optimizing the device parameters. Simulation results indicate that the polarization switch exhibits a broad bandwidth and high contrast ratio. The manufacturing tolerances on cell gap, twist angle and comp...

A New BTN LCD with High Contrast Ratio and Large Cell Gap

The optical properties of a (0, 2π) transmissive BTN LC cell is optimized by parameter space method. Experimentally the high contrast ratios above 80 within -80° to 80° viewing angle ranges were first obtained. The highest contrast ratio is 250. The large d∆n makes this new BTN large cell gap and low operating voltage possibility. Introduction Bistable twisted nematic (BTN) liquid crystal displ...

Measuring Thickness and Pretilt in Reflective Vertically Aligned Nematic Liquid Crystal Displays

Pretilt angle is a parameter of the utmost importance in the ultimate performance of vertically-aligned negative nematic LC displays. When these devices work in reflective mode, as is the LCOS microdisplays, accurate measurement of pretilt angles becomes a difficult problem, since usual experimental setups based on retardation of the polarization components of the impinging light are proportion...
