We have reported about bipolar resistive switching effect on Poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene]:Graphene oxide composite films, which are sandwiched between aluminum and indium tin oxide electrodes. In this case, I-V sweep curve showed a hysteretic behavior, which varied according to the polarity of the applied voltage bias. The device exhibited excellent switching characteristics, with the ON/OFF ratio being approximately two orders in magnitude. The device had good endurance (10⁵ cycles without degradation) and long retention time (5 × 10³ s) at room temperature. The bistable switching behavior varied according to the trapping and de-trapping of charges on GO sites; the carrier transport was described using the space-charge-limited current (SCLC) model.

The bistability in a chiral-splay nematic liquid crystal cell, which is obtained by adding a chiral additive to a splay cell, is proposed. In this paper, we describe a new horizontal way of switching between the two states of the bistable chiral-splay cell, one state being characterized by a non-twisted director field with splay, the second state showing a director-field with $180^{\circ}C$ twist.

Proposed herein is a flexible bistable chiral splay nematic display mode with an enhanced memory retention time under external distortion. By adopting the polymerized reactive-mesogen structure mixed in a liquid crystal layer, local anchoring energy is generated on the boundary between the polymer structures, and the relaxation from the ${\pi}$-twisted state to the initial splay state could be interrupted. As a result, the memory retention time becomes significantly longer, and the stability against the external distortion is enhanced.

In this work, the electrical bistability of an organic CT complex is demonstrated and the possible switching mechanism is proposed. 2,9-Dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP) and tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) are used as an organic donor and acceptor, respectively, and poly-methamethylacrylate (PMMA) is used as a polymeric matrix for spin-coating. A device with the Al/($Al_2O_3$)/PMMA:BCP:TCNQ[1:1:0.5 wt%]/Al configuration demonstrated bistable and switching characteristics similar to Ovshinsky switching with a low threshold voltage and a high ON/OFF ratio. An analysis of the current-voltage curves of the device suggested that electrical switching took place due to the charge transfer mechanism.

Alignment pattern of checkerboard was constructed by the stylus of atomic force microscope. Orientational bistability of the nematic liquid crystal was realized on that frustrated surface alignment. Macroscopic orientational switching between two perpendicular directions took place by an appropriate in-plane electric field. The threshold electric fields decreased in both switching directions as temperature increased. The focused laser heated up only the limited domains in the cell including a light-absorbing medium. Irradiating the laser concurrently with an appropriate electric field, we switched the selected unit domains in the alignment pattern. The switched domains maintained stably the switched direction without the disturbance from the exterior. Extending and repeating this process, we realized extremely fine devices of bistable switching.

We developed a plastic bistable LCD based on the suspension of sub-micron ferroelectric particles in a cholesteric liquid crystal. 2.5 inch $160{\times}160$ pixel display with enhanced contrast and improved electro-optical characteristics was achieved. The display is extremely light and possesses good flexibility, demonstrating multifold bending in a radius about 1.5 cm.

In this paper a nonlinear, bistable, single degree of freedom system is considered. It consists of a Duffing oscillator externally excited by a non-resonant, harmonic force. A customized perturbation scheme is proposed to achieve an approximate expression for periodic solutions. It is based on the evaluation of the quasi-steady (slow) solution, and then on a variable change followed by two perturbation steps which aim to capture the fast, decaying contribution of the response. The reconstructed solution, given by the sum of the slow and fast contributions, is in a good agreement with the one obtained by numerical integration.

The authors propose a novel dual mode liquid crystal display (LCD) which has both dynamic and memory operating LCD modes. The mode uses a horizontal switching and bistable chiral splay nematic (BCSN) LCD. The proposed dual mode does not require pixeldivision and has a higher aperture ratio and resolution than the previously proposed dual mode. Experimental results of the memory and dynamic mode show a high contrast ratio of over 100:1.

본 논문에서는 LCD의 어두운 상태의 특성을 보완하기 위해 광대역 λ/4 보상판을 사용하여 단일 편광판 모드 반사형 쌍안정 TN LCD를 설계·제작하였다. 단일 편광판 모드에서 광대역 λ/4 보상판의 필요성을 이론적인 계산과 실험을 통해 확인하였고, 시험적ㅇ로 제작한 단일 편광판 모드 반사형 쌍안정 TN LCD는 기존 구조의 반사형 쌍안정 TN LCD와의 비교에서 더욱 밝은 디스플레이 특성을 나타내었다. 본 실험에서 우리는 10:1의 콘트라스트를 얻었다.

Recent progress in both low pretilt and high pretilt defect free C1 surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal (SSFLC) devices is reviewed. First, by numerical calculation to investigate the balance between surface azimuthal anchoring energy and bulk elastic energy within the confined chevron layer geometry of C1 and C2, it is possible to achieve a zigzag free C1 state by low azimuthal anchoring alignment with a low pretilt angle. The critical azimuthal anchoring coefficient for defect free C1 state is calculated. Its relationship with elastic constant, chevron angle as well as surface topography effect are also discussed. Second, using $5^{\circ}$ oblique SiO deposition alignment method a defect free, large memory angle, high contrast ratio and bistable C1 SSFLC display, which has potential for electronic paper applications has also been developed. The electrooptical properties and bistability of this device have been investigated. Various aspects of defect control are also discussed.
