Electro-Optical Properties of LCD Doped with Nanoparticles and with Optical Compensators: Ways for Fast Response

This paper consists of two Parts. In the Part 1, we report the experimental results and considerations of the reduction of operation voltage and response time of narrow-gap TN(NTN)-LCDs embedded with the nanoparticles of hydrophobic Aerosil silica. While, in the Part 2, we give a report of the reduction of response time, especially τoff for the decay process of optically compensated tunable birefringence (OCTB)-mode LCD.

Optical properties of NTN-FSC-LCD and ECB cells with the doping of nanoparticles

The doping of nanoparticles of PγCyD-ZrO2 and those hydrophobic SiO2 and TiO2 into brings tremendous changes in their optical properties such as the reduction of birefringence, the creation of an optical homogenizing effect and the enhancement of the performance of FSC-LCD that produces a large value of Luminance Efficiency; this paper reports these novel optical effects in LCDs.
