Abstract

For high quality displays, analog responding liquid crystals with spontaneous polarization ($P_{s}$) need to be coupled with active matrix driving schemes. We have characterized the half-V-shaped switching ferroelectric liquid crystal mode (half-V FLC mode) in terms of dielectiric and voltage holding properties. Research on these switching properties provided us with the technology for switching half-V FLC mode FLCs by using amorphous silicon TFTs.
