Full‐color reflective liquid‐crystal display using internal‐reflection inverted‐scattering (IRIS) mode

Abstract

Abstract— We developed a bright full‐color reflective LCD which employs a newly developed IRIS mode, a scattering PDLC, and a MIM active matrix with two processes. The full‐color IRIS LCD provides high efficiency for ambient light and good color representation characteristics for battery‐driven low‐power applications.

Reflective Single Polariser Low and High Twist Liquid Crystal Displays

“…The complete analytic solutions for the retardation, twist and orientation of the LC layer that will produce a NB or NW SPRD were presented recently [14]. The solutions for the reflectivity (R) = 0 are given by (1)…”

“…Personal information tools and digital cameras are examples of portable equipment which would use such displays. Single polariser reflective displays (SPRD) offer the potential to achieve a high contrast black/white reflective LCD, of higher reflectivity than a two polariser system [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Whilst these displays are fundamentally limited to a reflectivity of less than 50% of the incident light, they are attractive because the technology required is largely the same as that used in a transmissive type LCD.…”

Current-induced domain-wall motion in patterned nanowires with various Gd–Fe compositions for magneto-optical light modulator applications

“…Movie holography is thought to be the ultimate goal for three-dimensional image technology and has been intensely developed with various types of spatial light modulators. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] A magneto-optical spatial light modulator (MO-SLM) has been investigated [9][10][11][12][13] to realize a holography display with magnetic tunneling junctions (MTJs) in which magnetization reversal is driven by spin-transfer torque (spin-SLM). 10,12,13) An optical-address type MO-SLM has also been studied.…”
