Dual-mode operation of a twisted nematic liquid crystal cell by switching between dynamic and memory modes

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We propose a twisted nematic liquid crystal device that can be operated in dynamic or memory mode, based on the information content to be displayed at that time. +90°-twisted and 90°-twisted states are used as two stable states for operation in the memory mode. A vertical electric field is applied to realize gray levels for operation in the dynamic mode. The proposed device has a memory retention time of over a month for the memory mode and a response time of 12ms for the dynamic mode. Contrast ratios of over 5001 can be obtained in both the dynamic and memory modes.
