Mobile products require longer battery lifetimes and increased information content from the display. A ferroelectric liquid-crystal reflective storage mode was demonstrated. This display only needs updating when the image changes, resulting in ultra-low power consumption. Passive-matrix addressing allows for high-resolution text to be displayed. FIGURE 1 -Effect of varying the chiral dopant on switching thresholds. At higher concentrations, the spontaneous polarization is greater, resulting in faster switching; however, the τ min occurs at higher voltages.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
