A submillisecond-response liquid crystal for color sequential projection displays

摘要

We report a new LC with low viscosity and high clearing point (T_c ～102 ℃) for color-sequential projection displays. Using a 1.95-μm mixed-mode twisted nematic cell, the averaged gray-to-gray response time is less than 1 ms, which is ～3.6× faster than the current state of the art. Such a mixed-mode twisted nematic liquid-crystal-on-silicon can be used for near-to-eye wearable projection displays and head-up displays in vehicles.
