Nematic liquid crystal devices with sub-millisecond response time

摘要

Conventional nematic liquid crystal devices exhibit switching times that are in the order of several milliseconds. In this work we focus on two types of nematic liquid crystals that can overcome the limitations ofconventional nematic liquid crystals and allow sub-millisecond switching times for both switching on and off: nano-pore polymer-liquid crystals and dual-frequency liquid crystals.
