The currently widely used display systems for liquid crystal display elements are twisted nematic (TN type) and dynamic scattering type (DS type), which are displays using nematic liquid crystal cells that mainly contain nematic liquid crystal. be. One of the disadvantages of conventional nematic liquid crystal cells is slow response speed.
The fact that a response speed on the order of several milliseconds can be obtained at most is one of the factors that limits the range of applications of nematic liquid crystal cells. However, it has recently been found that a more sophisticated response can be obtained by using a smectic liquid crystal cell.
