  1. 1. Structures and Properties of Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Displays

    Författare :Marek Matuszczyk; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; smectic; displays; dielectric anisotropy and biaxiality; surface-stabilized structure; dielectric; paraelectric; liquid crystal alignment; electroclinic effect; grey scale; polarization; multiplexing; liquid crystal LC ; orthogonal and tilted phases; chirality; aligning layer; ferroelectric; polyimide; rubbing; light valves and modulators; SSFLC;

    Sammanfattning : Liquid crystals have unique physical properties as they combine the features of solids and liquids. In thermotropic liquid crystals the degree of order varies with temperature resulting in an appearance of intermediate phases. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Optical Characterization and Optimization of Display Components : Some Applications to Liquid-Crystal-Based and Electrochromics-Based Devices

    Författare :Iryna Valyukh; Claes-Göran Granqvist; Ewa Wäckelgård; Hans Arwin; Ola Hundery; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ellipsometry; liquid crystal; LCD; optical anizotropy; electrochromic; inverse problems; Optics; Optik; Optical physics; Optisk fysik; Numerical analysis; Numerisk analys; Solid State Physics; fasta tillståndets fysik; Information Systems; data- och systemvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation is focused on theoretical and experimental studies of optical properties of materials and multilayer structures composing liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and electrochromic (EC) devices. By applying spectroscopic ellipsometry, we have determined the optical constants of thin films of electrochromic tungsten oxide (WOx) and nickel oxide (NiOy), the films’ thickness and roughness.

  4. 3. Nematic Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulators for Laser Beam Steering

    Författare :Emil Hällstig; Mikael Lindgren; Lars Sjöqvist; William Crossland; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; spatial light modulator; liquid crystal; beam steering; tracking; phase modulation; fringing field; director distribution; finite-difference time-domain; polarization; temporal properties; Fysik; Physics; Fysik;

    Sammanfattning : Laser beam control is important in many applications. Phase modulating spatial light modulators (SLMs) can be used to electronically alter the phase distribution of an optical wave-front and thus change the direction and shape of a laser beam. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Optical Investigations of Chiral Liquid Crystals

    Författare :Anders Dahlgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antiferroelectric; de Vries theory; ferroelectric; optical activity; chiral; dielectric tensor; unwinding; liquid crystal; helicoidal; selective reflection;

    Sammanfattning : Optical investigations of course involve experimental work, but a theoretical basis is also needed. The first chapter can hopefully can give the non-expert an insight into the science of liquid crystals. Liquid crystals are optically birefringent, and a review of the phenomenon of birefringence follows in chapter 2. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Investigations of Optical Properties and Photo-Alignment in Bistable Nematic Liquid Crystal Displays

    Författare :Jesper Osterman; Claes-Göran Granqvist; Kent Skarp; Peter Raynes; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering physics; LCD; liquid crystal; bistable; nematic; optical; modes; photo-alignment; Teknisk fysik; Engineering physics; Teknisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : In recent years portable electronic devices, such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants, have increased the demand for high performance displays with low power consumption. An interesting candidate with the potential of fulfilling these demands is the reflective single-polarizer surface controlled bistable twisted nematic liquid crystal display. LÄS MER
