Ion Transport and Switching Currents in Smectic Liquid Crystal Devices
In SSFLC and AFLC devices, the voltage over the liquid crystal is not only determined by the applied voltage, but also by the separation of ions and the spontaneous polarization. The motion of ions and the switching of the spontaneous polarization are therefore interfering phenomena. A simplified model for ion transport and switching of polarization is introduced which is able to explain the sh...
متن کاملSwitching hydrodynamics in liquid crystal devices: a simulation perspective.
In liquid crystal devices it is important to understand the physics underlying their switching between different states, which is usually achieved by applying or removing an electric field. Flow is known to be a key determinant of the timescales and pathways of the switching kinetics. Incorporating hydrodynamic effects into theories for liquid crystal devices is therefore important; however thi...
متن کاملSwitching hydrodynamics in multi - domain , twisted nematic , liquid crystal devices
– We study the switching dynamics in two-domain and four-domain twisted nematic liquid crystal devices. The equilibrium configuration of these devices involves the coexistence of regions characterised by different handedness of the inherent director twist. At the boundaries between these regions there are typically disclinations lines. The dynamics of the disclination lines controls the propert...
متن کاملVertical field switching for blue-phase liquid crystal devices
A low-voltage (< 10 V), high-transmittance (> 80%), submillisecond-response, and hysteresis-free polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal (BPLC) device with vertical field switching (VFS) and oblique incident light are demonstrated experimentally. Unlike the commonly employed in-plane switching in which the electric field is primarily in lateral direction and not uniform spatially, the VFS ...
متن کاملThe Switching Dynamics of the Plasma Addressed Liquid Crystal Display
The plasma addressed liquid crystal display (PLAC) is a flat, large area, full-colour television and monitor technology made possible through the unique application of the properties of an ionized gas. Liquid crystal displays require an active switching element at the location of each pixel. The PALC display uses a plasma switch to address each of the display pixels, replacing typically used se...
