Cell Designs for Fast Reflective Cholesteric LCDs

Abstract

We numerically study the dynamic process of transitions among textures in bistable cholesteric reflective displays, and analyze the effects of the parameters: surface anchoring, applied field, cell thickness, pitch and elastic constants. Our result shows that fast homeotropic-planar transition, essential in order to use cholesteric liquid crystals in video rate operations, can be achieved using cells with homeotropic anchoring.
