S01相の光スイツチング効果を表示素子として応用す

通常のTN表示方式の素子と比較すると、応答時間は1
/100以下である。When the optical switching effect of the S01 phase is applied to a display element, there are three advantages compared to the TN display system. The first feature is that it responds very quickly, with a response time of 1
/100 or less.
第2の特徴はメモリー効果があることであり、上記の高

答速度の電圧依存性などの難問がある。しかし、SC*
相の光スイツチング効果を応用する場合には極性の反転
時間を調節することにより、容易に階調を得ることがで
き、グラフィック表示に非常に適している。The second feature is that it has a memory effect, which, combined with the above-mentioned high-speed response, facilitates time-division driving. Third
The characteristic of the TN display method is that the gray scale is achieved by adjusting the applied voltage, but there are difficult problems such as the temperature dependence of the threshold voltage and the voltage dependence of the response speed. However, SC*
When applying the optical phase switching effect, gradation can be easily obtained by adjusting the polarity reversal time, making it very suitable for graphic display.

暗視野(偏光子の対向角度により決まる)が得られる。There are two possible display methods; one method is a birefringence type that uses two polarizers, and the other method is a guest-host type that uses a dichroic dye. Since the "sc" phase has spontaneous polarization, by reversing the polarity of the applied voltage, the molecule is reversed using the helical axis as the rotation axis.SC*
A liquid crystal composition having a phase is injected into a liquid crystal display cell that has been subjected to alignment treatment so that the liquid crystal molecules are aligned parallel to the electrode surface, and two sheets of liquid crystal are placed so that the polarization plane of one side is parallel to the gylefter of the liquid crystal molecules. By sandwiching the liquid crystal cell between polarizers and applying a voltage to reverse the polarity, a bright field and a dark field (determined by the facing angle of the polarizers) can be obtained.
一方ゲスト・ホスト型で動作する場合には、印加電圧の
極性を反転することにより明視野及び着色視野(偏光板

A uniformly oriented monodomain state can be easily obtained by cooling from the temperature at which a cholesteric phase is exhibited to the temperature at which a smectic phase is exhibited at a cooling rate of 1 °C/shoulder while applying a DC voltage of ~100 μm. can.
