Alignment Layer Optimization for Electrically Suppressed Helix Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals

Distinguished Student

Description:

The Electrically Suppressed Helix Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal (ESHFLC) provides fast response at lower voltages and superior optical contrast, making it a promising choice for contemporary displays. Nevertheless, the constrained alignment techniques have hindered the commercialization of ESHFLC displays. To address this, we have optimized a polyimide (PI) based alignment layer by analyzing different PI concentrations and ESH diffraction and kept a balance between anchoring energy and elastic energy.
