Abstract: | A grating surface can drive the liquid crystal molecules to orientate
along the direction parallel or vertical to the projected plane of
the grating surface. The nematic liquid crystal (NLC) cell
manufactured with two pre-treated grating surface substrates may
realize the vertical display, parallel display and twist display. In
this paper, the threshold property of this NLC cell is investigated
systematically. With the Frank elastic theory and the equivalent
anchoring energy formula of grating surface substrate, the analytic
expressions of the threshold voltage related to three displays are
obtained, which are dependent on their geometrical parameters such
as amplitude δ and pitch λ of the grating surface
substrate. For a certain anchoring strength, the threshold voltage
increases or decreases with the increase of the value
δ/λ of the different displays. |
