Enhancement of Memory Characteristics of Bistable Chiral Splay Nematic Liquid Crystal

초록

We report the enhanced memory characteristics in a surface-controlled bistable chiral splay nematic (BCSN) display. The reactive mesogen stacked on the alignment layer improves the azimuthal anchoring energy in BCSN cell. The strong anchoring energy gives rise to a large energy barrier between splay and ʌ-twisted states. As a result, a memory retention time of the ʌ-twisted state is significantly improved.
