10.4: Mechanically Stabilized Bistable FLC Cells on Plastic Substrates
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electro-optical properties of a fully flexible photo-aligned FLC cell are investigated. Two different methods, sticky spacers together with a photo-sensitive monomer and polymer spacers in a regular pattern formed by photo-lithography, are proposed to stabilize the structure in order to increase the bending tolerance of the FLC material during deformation of the cell.

Photoalignment of Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals by Azodye Layers
The photoinduced alignment of ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLCs) onto photochemically stable azo-dye films was studied. The alignment quality of FLC display cells depends mainly on the difference between the FLC surface energy and the aligning substrates surface energy; however, the structure and thickness of FLC layers are also important. The effect of the thickness of photoaligning azodye l...
متن کاملFabrication of Surface-Stabilized Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Display with Stripe-Shaped Domain Structure
A uniform stripe-shaped domain (SSD) structure was obtained in the initial ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) alignment by rubbing the polyimide films doped with silicon naphthalocyanine. Such a surface-stabilized FLC cell exhibits a high contrast ratio and excellent bistability. Atomic force microscope images and pretilt angle measurement results demonstrated that the rubbing-induced polishing...

In this paper, color switching bistable ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) displays have been studied. Memorizable colors were obtained. The spectra, chromaticity and viewing characteristics of the displays were studied in simulation. Using results of the simulations we fabricated prototypes of Black&Green, Black&Yellow, Blue&Yellow, and Green&Pink FLC displays. 1. Introduction Recently, there ...
متن کامل37.3: Optimization of Photo-Aligned Asymmetric Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Display Performance: Effect of Planar Layer
Photo-aligned ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) display reveals a perfect alignment in case of asymmetric boundary conditions, when the competition in aligning action of two solid surfaces is avoided. In this case a stable uniform photo-alignment on one of the cell substrates spreads out to the other, which is prepared to sustain planar alignment with a degenerate azimuthal direction. In the p...
متن کاملCharge transfer resistance of spray deposited and compressed counter electrodes for dye-sensitized nanoparticle solar cells on plastic substrates
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to determine the effective charge transfer resistances of porous dye-sensitized solar cell counter electrodes prepared by low-temperature spray deposition and compression of conductive carbon and platinized Sb-doped SnO2 powders on indium tin oxide-coated plastic substrates. The charge transfer resistances were 0.5–2 and 8–13O cm, respectively, wh...
