Optical Logic Gate and Display Device Using Polymer Stabilized FLCD-Cells

Abstract

New optical logic gate have been fabricated by stacking two ferroelectric liquid crystal optical diodes (LC-ODs) fabricated by polymer stabilization. The device cxhibits a strong asymmetric electrooptic performance ; for this reason, the device is referred to as a liquid crystal optical diode. The liquid crystal logic gates fabricated by stacking two LC-ODs are shown to enable the performance of logic calculations, such as AND, NAND, OR, XOR, XNOR and V-shape EO performance.
