Greyscale in Zenithal Bistable LCD: The Route to Ultra-low Power Colour Displays

چکیده

Zenithal Bistable Devices (ZBD) exhibit rugged image storage, excellent optical performance, fast latching and infinite multiplexibility. These properties arise from the use of the grating layer used to align a nematic liquid crystal. Such gratings also offer a high degree of design flexibility. In the present work, grating shape is varied within each pixel to introduce error-free analogue greyscales. Passive matrix waveforms, suitable for use with commercial STN drivers are reported, and shown to produce at least 7 errorfree greys in a test cell. A method for achieving 64 static greys is described.

مقایسه میزان تابش های غیر یونساز نمایشگر های کریستال مایع با نمایشگرهای معمولی در دانشگاه علوم پزشکی همدان

Introduction & Objective: The use of computers and monitors (displays) has been developed due to their increasing capabilities. The presence of electromagnetic fields, infrared and ul-traviolet radiations has been proven around the display, which all of them have adverse ef-fects on human health. Therefore, this study was conducted to survey and compare the mentioned variables around the disp...

P-169: Photoaligned Bistable FLC Displays with Birefringent Color Switching

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 ...

After-effects of TFT-LCD display polarity and display colour on the detection of low-contrast objects.

Participants performed a word-non-word discrimination task within a car control display emulated on a thin film transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT-LCD). The task simulated an information read-out from a TFT-LCD-based instrument panel. Subsequently, participants performed a low-contrast object detection task that simulated the detection of objects during night-time driving. In experiment 1, ...

A New BTN LCD with High Contrast Ratio and Large Cell Gap

The optical properties of a (0, 2π) transmissive BTN LC cell is optimized by parameter space method. Experimentally the high contrast ratios above 80 within -80° to 80° viewing angle ranges were first obtained. The highest contrast ratio is 250. The large d∆n makes this new BTN large cell gap and low operating voltage possibility. Introduction Bistable twisted nematic (BTN) liquid crystal displ...

Optical Properties of Bistable Twisted Nematic LCD and Its Switching Mechanisms

The brightness and contrast ratio of bistable twisted nematic displays are studied using the parameter space approach. By plotting the contrast ratio as a function of the twist angle and birefringence of the display, regions where the bistable twisted nematic display shows the best contrast ratio are clearly shown. We also studied the switching mechanisms of such displays.
