Abstract: | Abstract Modulated microdomain switching of nematic liquid crystals have been investigated. This display mode used for light switching of micron-sized domains regions using a complicated electric field with special mesh electrode structures. Under He-Ne laser irradiation, contrast ratio was 22:1 for homeotropic alignment cell and transmittance change was no dependent of incident polarization condition. Under white light illumination, the contrast ratio was 4.3:1. |
