Stabilization of the LC Alignment by Micro Polymer Fibers Assembled in the Bulk of NnLC Cells

Abstract

The bistable LCD with a grid structure of polymer fibers in the cell has been proposed. Fibers consisted of the hydroxypropyl cellulose were spun by electrospinning method. In this report, the influence of LC orientation states and the electro-optical characteristic of the cell which was injected the nematic LCs with ⊿ε were investigated. As a result, the dependence of the LC alignment state on the gap between fibers was observed, however, it seemed that fibers assembled in the cell were not affected to the static and transient response characteristics in this experimental region.
