弱磁场中向列相液晶的磁光效应

当外磁场强度比较小时,液晶不会发生Freedericksz转变.利用介电张量分析了扭曲型向列液晶在弱磁场中的旋光效应.通过理论分析表明,线性偏振光经过磁场中的扭曲型向列液晶,会产生左右两束椭圆偏振光.这两束椭圆偏振光在该液晶中的传播速度不同,导致光经过液晶盒后光电场振动面发生偏转.进一步分析表明,对于同一种波长的光,磁场强度越大,其电场振动面旋转角度越大.在相同的磁场强度下,光波长越短,其电场振动面旋转角度越大.如果加上高的偏置电压,使向列型液晶分子长轴方向与外磁场方向平行,线性偏振光经过磁场中的该扭曲型向列液晶,其振动面会也发生偏转.

Optically controllable bistable reflective liquid crystal display

This Letter demonstrates a photo-addressable, bistable reflective liquid crystal display that is based on a dye-doped liquid crystal (DDLC). Bistable bright and dark states can be attained using the 45 deg twisted nematic (TN) and photo-induced isotropic states (PHI) of the DDLC, respectively. Both the 45 deg TN and PHI states can exist stably for tens of hours, and each can be rapidly switched to the other by the isomerization effect using UV and green light. A bistable reflective liquid crystal display is simply fabricated, easily operated, and rapidly switched. It therefore has the potential to be used in portable information systems.

Viewing angle characteristics of a nematic liquid crystal cell with two crossed-grating surface substrates

Liquid crystal in a nematic liquid crystal cell surface with two crossed-grating surface substrates can be oriented along the normal grating direction with given geometric parameters of groove and anchoring strength. This display is equivalent to multi-domain vertical-alignment mode. It has a relatively wide viewing angle. In this letter, we investigate the viewing angle characteristics of this kind of cell. The viewing angle dependence of contrast ratio is obtained using the extended Jones matrix method, which also considers the flexoelectric effect. The viewing angle is dependent on the geometric parameter of grating surface, the flexoelectric coefficients, and the anchoring strength. Therefore, appropriate value for each factor needs to be selected to obtain a better viewing angle of this cell.     

Entanglement-free determination of pretilt angles of twisted nematic liquid-crystal cells by phase measurement

The pretilt angle of a twisted nematic(TN) liquid crystal display has a strong effect on viewing angles and response times of the display as well as shifting the light-leaking disclination lines into the black-matrix area within pixels of a thin-film-transistor driven TN panel for a high contrast ratio. In this Letter, we develop an optical method to determine the TN pretilt angle based on heterodyne measurements of the phase versus the incident angle of a thin TN cell subjected to out-of-plane rotations. We believe that our method of measuring phases has advantages of simpler setup and calculations, better stability, and less sensitive to ambient electromagnetic interference than the commonly used method of measuring intensities.     

Transflective liquid-crystal display using low-twisted vertically aligned mode

We present the design of a transflective and low-power LCD using a low-twist vertically aligned liquid crystal (LC) cell, achieved by blending a chiral additive with a patterned reflector in a single-domain configuration. Unlike the conventional single-domain transflective LCD, in which it is possible to optimize only one of the transmissive and reflective regions, the device suggests that it is possible to optimize both the transmission and reflection design to obtain favorable results in both reflective and transmissive light conditions by optimizing the chiral pitch and twist angle. From the parameter space diagram (PSD) method, which does not include the information on chiral pitch and the nonuniform LC director tilt angle, optimization focused on the transmissive region is performed. By analyzing the relation between the transmittance and the chiral pitch under the applied voltage, the optimized twist angle and chiral pitch are proposed. It is described that the optimized twist angle is also available for the reflective region by the dynamic PSD method by considering the average tilt angle under applied voltage.     

A novel three-dimensional holographic display system based on LC-R2500 spatial light modulator

A novel holographic display system is proposed in this paper. The system takes LC-R2500, a kind of reflective liquid crystal spatial light modulator, (LC-SLM) as the core display unit, which can meet the requirement of real-time reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) objects from holograms in free space. The relationship between hologram recording and image reconstruction is discussed, and the parameters associated with the magnification of reconstructed image over original object are determined. Experimental results of holographic display using the system are also given in the end.     

Low voltage transflective blue-phase liquid crystal display with a non-uniform etching substrate

A transflective polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal display(BP-LCD) with a non-uniform etching substrate is proposed.In-plane switching(IPS) electrodes on the bottom substrate are put on the different gaps,and the bottom substrate between the electrodes is etched into different depths in transmissive(T) and reflective(R) regions.This structure can balance the optical phase retardation in the two regions and is helpful to achieve well-matched voltag-dependent transmittance and reflectance curves.This transflective display has high optical efficiency,a wide viewing angle,and low operating voltage(approximately 6 V).
