Photoaddressable bistable reflective liquid crystal display

摘要

This work presents a bistable reflective liquid crystal display. The mechanism is based on the laser-induced adsorption of azo dyes on the polymer-coated glass substrate. This reflective liquid crystal display is very simple to fabricate and can be optically written, erased, and rewritten with a high contrast. A simulation is performed to fit the measured electro-optical characteristics of this device.
