Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) effects on physical properties of the liquid crystal and twisted nematic (TN) liquid crystal (LC) cells have been investigated. The minute doping of CNTs reduces rotational viscosity of the LC, and thus switching time of the TN cells is improved, especially in grey scale response time. In addition, the dielectric anisotropy and birefringence are not affected by such a small amount of CNT-doping and thus voltage-dependent transmittance remains the same.
