Abstract

A three-terminal hybrid-aligned nematic liquid crystal (3T-HAN LC) cell capable of fast turn-off switching is proposed in this paper. By employing the relaxation process initiated by an electric-field pulse, a fast turn-off time of less than 1 ms can be obtained through optically hidden relaxation. A low operating voltage and high transmittance were confirmed through simulations and experiments.
