Black-white Reflective Liquid Crystal Display Prepared with Two Color Reflective Layers
Reflective cholesteric liquid crystal displays (Ch-LCD) with bistability are very attractive because of their excellent readability, low power consumption with image memory, high reflectivity, high contrast ratio at a wide viewing angle, and a low manufacturing cost[1]. Cholesteric liquid crystal displays have several unique features suitable for mobile displays, public information displays, si...
متن کاملPhotonic defect modes of cholesteric liquid crystals.
We investigate defect modes of cholesteric liquid crystals as photonic band gap materials. For normal incidence of light, cholesteric liquid crystals exhibit total reflection for the circular polarization with the same handedness as that of cholesteric helix. However, the other orthogonal component is completely transmitted. When we replace a thin layer of liquid crystal by an isotropic materia...
متن کاملPhoto-patterning micro-mirror devices using azo dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystals.
A simple method for fabricating patternable micro-mirror devices by photo-induced alignment of dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) is demonstrated. The CLC texture can be changed from random distribution to nearly perfect planar by the photo-excited adsorbed dyes. This structure transformation leads to a substantial reflectivity increase. Using this photo-patterning technique, one- and t...
متن کاملA Study of the Dynamics of Reflection Color, Helical Axis Orientation, and Domain Size in Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Displays
The relaxation from the field-induced homeotropic state to the equilibrium planar state of cholesteric liquid crystals is investigated. By using an optical retro-reflection technique, we have isolated the dynamics of the orientation and pitch of cholesteric helices, and through scattering and microscopy techniques, we have determined domain size as a function of time for various surface treatme...
متن کاملHybrid anchoring for a color-reflective dual- frequency cholesteric liquid crystal device switched by low voltages
Cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) materials used in electro-optical (EO) devices are characterized by high operating voltage and slow response speed, which hinders their further development in display applications. Dual-frequency CLCs (DFCLCs) can solve the problem of slow bistable transition, but the operating voltage is still high, especially in color-reflective DFCLC cells. Here we report a s...
