Energy Relations in Antiferroelectric Liquid Crystal Displays
In antiferroelectric liquid crystal displays either V-shaped switching or tri-state switching characteristics are possible. Both types of states may be locally stable at constant voltage. However if they exist in different region of a pixel separated by a wall, the lowest energy state will grow by wall motion. It is thus important to be able to calculate accurately the energy of stationary stat...
متن کاملThresholdless Switching in Ferro- and Antiferro-electric Liquid Crystal Displays
Acknowledgements First, I would like to express my gratitude to my promoter prof. K. Neyts, for giving me the privilege to conduct this PhD work under his supervision. Throughout this research, he provided me with continuous scientific help, valuable advice and lots of new ideas, which inspired and motivated my work. His great talent to explain things clearly and simply helped me to understand ...
متن کاملOptical waveguide characterization of a tristable antiferroelectric liquid crystal cell
The optical convergent-beam waveguide technique has been used to characterize a homogeneously aligned 3 mm cell containing a liquid crystal in the antiferroelectric phase. The director structure has been quantified with the cell at 0 V and at 650 V dc, and three distinct states have been observed. From the optical data collected, it is found that the material forms a tilted-bookshelf ferroelect...
متن کاملSolitary wave propagation in antiferroelectric liquid crystal cells and the quadrupolar term in the interlayer interaction.
Planar antiferroelectric liquid crystal (AFLC) cells exhibit propagating solitary waves. By measuring the retardation and the apparent tilt angle, we find that the conventional model for the solitary wave propagation in AFLCs is not generally applicable. The model being proposed here shows that the solitary wave propagation both along and normal to the smectic layer plane can be explained by a ...
متن کاملTilt plane orientation in antiferroelectric liquid crystal cells and the origin of the pretransitional effect.
The optic, electro-optic, and dielectric properties of antiferroelectric liquid crystals (AFLCs) are analyzed and discussed in terms of the local tilt plane orientation. We show that the so-called pretransitional effect is a combination of two different electro-optic modes: the field-induced antiphase distortion of the antiferroelectric structure and the field-induced reorientation of the tilt ...
