Non Polarizer Guest--Host mode based on Dyes with Negative Dichroism
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new configuration of non polarizer ‘‘guest–host’’ mode, based on the liquid crystal mixture doped with black mixtures of dichroic dyes with negative dichroism, is proposed and demonstrated for the first time. Both transmissive and reflective variants are possible with either monochromatic or black/white switching. It is shown that the contrast ratio is not limited in this case. A contrast ratio of more than 5 : 1 for normal incidence and a contrast ratio of more than 3 : 1 for wide viewing angles are demonstrated in an experiment and the electrooptic response is found to be almost independent of the azimuthal angle of light incidence.

Development of Highly Soluble Anthraquinone Dichroic Dyes and Their Application to Three-Layer Guest-Host Liquid Crystal Displays
The relationships between molecular structures and properties of anthraquinone dichroic dyes were studied and dyes with large solubilities and dichroic ratios were developed. The yellow anthraquinone dye behaves as a quencher of the coumarin dye, and the mixture has a large absorption coefficient without fluorescence. These technologies can enlarge the color reproduction area of three-layer gue...
متن کاملOptical Reorientation in Dye-doped Liquid Crystals
The nonlinear optical properties of liquid crystals received considerable attention in the past decades and were reviewed by various authors. Harmonic generation in liquid crystalline phases and optical reorientation of nematics are examples of nonlinearities studied in detail. The present paper deals with the latter effect, paying special attention to the influence of absorption on the process...

متن کاملEffect of Alkyl Tail on the Visible Spectra and Order Parameters S of some Azo N-Ester-1,8-naphthalimide(ANEN) Disperse Dyestuff
This research is an attempt to measure the effect of alkyl tail on the visible spectra and order parameters S of some azo N-ester-1,8-naphthalimide(ANEN) disperse dyestuff. For the first time, the visible absorption spectra of two azo N-ester-1,8-naphthalimide(ANEN) dyes with identical molecular size and diverse alkyl tails were obtained in liquids and liquid crystalline solvent. Ordinary organ...
متن کاملPrincipal molecular axis and transition dipole moment orientations in liquid crystal systems: an assessment based on studies of guest anthraquinone dyes in a nematic host.
An assessment of five different definitions of the principal molecular axis along which molecules align in a nematic liquid crystal system has been made by analysing fully atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a set of anthraquinone dyes in the cyanobiphenyl-based nematic host mixture E7. Principal molecular axes of the dyes defined by minimum moment of inertia, minimum circumference...
