CHOLESTERIC LCD DRIVER

A cholesteric liquid crystal display ChLCD is a display containing a liquid crystal with a helical structure and which is therefore chiral. Many modifications were added to improvement its performance, like polymer stabilized cholesteric texture, full-color ChLC LCD etc. The variation of the director axis tends to be periodic in nature.

The variation of the director axis tends to be periodic in nature. Further Readings and References: Because of the reflective nature of the ChLCD, these displays can be perfectly read under sunlight conditions. Some companies, such as Chiral Photonicshave begun to explore CLCs as the basis for photonic devices. This pitch determines the wavelength of light which is reflected Bragg Reflection. When the helix of the twist aligns along the normal of the substrate, a planar or Grandjean texture is obtained.

Liquid Crystals Applications and Uses, Vol. Both the planar and focal conic domain are stable states, no field is required to maintain it, therefore bistability can be achieved.

cholesteric LCD Definition from PC Magazine Encyclopedia

Because of its very low power consumption, this technology is highly preferred to be used in self-sustaining applications solar cholsteric applications.

This physical chemistry -related article is a stub. Discovery chlesteric LC s. When the component of the circularly polarized light which has the same sense of the helical twist, it will be reflected, and the other opposite component is transmitted.

Reflection band in a planar cholesteric cell. A drawback of ChLCD screens is their slow refresh rate, especially at low temperatures.

In this state, the reflection is mostly eliminated, and light can pass through the cell, and absorbed if an absorption layer is coated on the exit. The technology is characterized by stable cholexteric i. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. A typical reflectivity versus wavelength for a planar cholesteric cell is shown below: Liquid crystals Physical chemistry stubs. ChLC display is now widely used from reflective display, signage to electronic paper, due to its virtually no power consumption, sun-readable and excellent viewing angles advantages.

Cholesteric liquid crystals are also known as chiral nematic liquid crystals. A cholesteric liquid crystal display ChLCD is a display containing a liquid crystal with a helical structure and which is therefore chiral. These ChLCDs can be used in extremely cholesteeic temperature applications i. Retrieved from " https: The ChLC display utilizes the brag reflection as the reflection state, and the focal conic domain as the non-reflection state.

They organize in layers with no positional ordering within layers, but a director axis cholestsric varies with layers.

A simple structure of Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Display. Examples of compounds known to form cholesteric phases are hydroxypropyl cellulose and cholesteryl benzoate.

Many modifications were added to improvement its performance, like polymer stabilized cholesteric texture, full-color ChLC LCD etc. Various update versions can be ldc to achieve a reasonable update time even at very low temperatures. When a voltage is applied on the planar texture, a focal conic domain configuration is obtained. This page was last edited on 21 Decemberat This director configuration has the property of reflecting a component of the incoming light.
