Field-sequential full colour displays using polymer-stabilised ferroelectric LCD

Abstract

The effect of polymer stabilisation of liquid crystal alignment is an attractive method for modifying the electro-optical properties of liquid crystals. The polymer stabilisation in ferroelectric liquid crystals allows a bistable switching of a biaxial alignment, which is surface-stabilised ferroelectric liquid crystal display (SS-FLCDs), to alter into uniaxial alignment of V-shaped switching to enable AC driving. We demonstrated an excellent performance to be suitable for a field sequential full-colour LCD exhibiting a fast switching with response time of less than 500 μs.
