Abstract

The electrooptical characteristics of OMI (optical mode interference) cell were investigated as the application for LC shutters. The optical responses under dynamic driving were simulated by solving the Ericksen-Leslie hydrodynamic equations numerically. The prototypes were made accordingly for verification. The experimental data show good coincidence with the simulation results.
