Abstract

We have fabricated twisted nematic (TN) cell doped by carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The CNTs with a minute amount of doping do not perturb the liquid crystal orientation in the off- and on-state. The hysteresis studies of voltage-dependent transmittance and capacitance under ac and dc electric field show that the amount of residual dc, which is related to image sticking problem in liquid crystal displays, is greatly reduced due to ion trapping by CNTs.
