چکیده
Chiral smectic liquid crystal cells showing V-shaped electrooptical switching have been reported as one of the most promising technologies for high-end display applications. In this work, time-resolved electrical behaviour of these devices has been obtained through a set of systematic measurements. The electrical equivalent circuit has been derived, a number of simulations at different frequencies have been performed using commercial software for analogue circuits. Performance of this electrical model to account for time domain variations of switching currents in chiral smectic LC displays with V/W-shaped electrooptical response has been analyzed as well.

متن کاملFerroelectric volume effect and surface induced fast instabilities for rapid electrooptical displays in liquid crystals
2014 One system exist which is capable of microsecond electrooptical switching in liquid crystals, on polarized light. It is the well-known SC* valve, which uses a volume smectic ferroelectric material and a weak surface anchoring. A new effect is presented which gives rise to localized polar surface instabilities. Some of these surface induced instabilities persist for high frequency (1 MHz) A...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Chevrons in Thin Liquid Crystal Cells
This paper is an analysis of a model for the structure in a liquid crystal medium that arises when the material is cooled from the smectic-A to the chiral smectic-C phase in a surface-stabilized cell with prescribed boundary conditions under a given electric field. This phenomenon causes V-shaped (chevron-like) defects to form in liquid crystal display devices and has attracted interest from bo...
متن کاملChirality and polarity transfers between bent-core smectic liquid-crystal substances.
Liquid-crystal phases with both solid and liquid characteristics are unique, since they exhibit chirality on both molecular and mesoscopic levels under special circumstances. We have studied binary composites formed by mixing of a chiral dimer (B-Ch), in which a bent core is covalently linked to a promesogenic cholesterol unit through a flexible spacer, and an achiral bent-core mesogen having t...
متن کاملElectric-field-induced deformation of a chiral liquid-crystal elastomer in smectic A phase
Mechanical response to electrical stimulus has been investigated in a chiral smectic A elastomer. During the application of electric field, the two-dimensional strain tensor was precisely measured by tracking fluorescent beads dispersed on the film. It was found that the shear strain is dominantly induced by the electric field and proportional to the applied electric field.
