平行排列丝状液晶在超短脉冲激光激励下发生瞬态扭曲形变的最佳偏振角

利用光学相位延迟法，观察到平行排列丝状液晶在超短脉冲激光（10ns）激励下的瞬态扭曲形变.实验结果表明，虽然脉冲激光的电场强度远远大于液晶发生扭曲形变的阈值，但并不能保证液晶会发生瞬态扭曲形变.这主要是因为脉冲激光的激励时间非常短，而液晶分子发生扭曲形变的响应时间相对较长，从而使其来不及形变.分析发现：激励激光的偏振方向与平行排列丝状液晶分子的最佳夹角是45°.利用此条件，观察到掺微量D型苏氨酸卟啉的平行排列丝状液晶在超短脉冲激光激励后具有记忆效应，这在光存储和记忆显示方面有很大的实用价值.     

ON THE SATURATION BEHAVIOUR OF TWISTED NEMATIC LIQUID CRYSTAL CELLS WITH A NONZERO PRETILT ANGLE

Equations are obtained for the surface tilt angle and the twist angle of the director in a twisted nematic liquid crystal cell under a high magnetic field. Under a zero pretilt angle, the two equations reduce to those obtained by Sugimura et al. This fact has also been demonstrated numerically. With finite field strength and nonzero pretilt angle, no saturation transition exists.     

Single cell-gap transflective liquid crystal device utilizing continuous director rotation with different twist angle in the fringe-field switching mode

In this paper, a single cell-gap and single gamma transflective liquid crystal displays (LCDs) associated with fringe-field switching (FFS) device is proposed. The device utilizes unique characteristic of the FFS device in which the twist angle of LC director is dependent on electrode position in on state. With optimization of pixel electrode width and distance between them, the LC director can be rotated about 22.5° and 45° of twist angles depending on electrode positions. Consequently, the parts with low and high twist angle could be played for the reflective (R) and transmissive (T) regions respectively, realizing a high image quality transflective display.     

Light scattering study of a twist grain boundary liquid crystal

Dynamic light scattering is used to probe the fluctuation modes of a liquid crystal exhibiting twist grain boundary (TGB) structure. At the chiral nematic to proposed "chiral line liquid" phase transition, anomalous temperature dependence in the fluctuation spectrum and an instability in the helicoidal director structure signify developing TGB order. At lower temperatures, the behavior of the smectic layer-director fluctuations ("soft" mode) indicates that the previously identified commensurate TGB(A) phase may in fact be a TGB(C) phase with an unusually small tilt angle.     

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.     

Electrically controlled relaxation at twist deformation of a dual-frequency nematic liquid crystal

The relaxation of a dual-frequency liquid crystal at the twist effect and the influence of the external electrical circuit parameters on the relaxation process in the case of a large initial inclination angle (44) of the director are studied. It is found that oscillation arising at the trailing edge of the modulator’s electro-optic response considerably increases the time of relaxation due to the action of a high-frequency electric field. The influence of the electric field on the relaxation time is stronger, the thinner the liquid crystal layer. It is experimentally shown that the duration of the interval between the removal of low-frequency voltage from and the application of high-frequency voltage to the modulator affects the relaxation time.
