초록

Recently, competition between LC modes for LC TVs becomes high. In this paper, status of each mode is briefly reviewed with commenting on its electro-optic characteristics and possible application fields. Further, to understand effects of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersed in nematic liquid crystal on electro-optic characteristic and orientation of the LC, CNT-doped NLC cells are made and evaluated. The hysterisis studies of voltage-dependent capacitance show that the amount of residual dc is greatly reduced due to ion trapping by CNTS.
