The recent Bistable Nematic ($BiNem{(R)}$) LCD technology presents long term bistability, high level passive matrix multiplexing and high optical quality. The BiNem device, based on anchoring breaking, needs specific low anchoring strength materials - alignment layers and liquid crystal mixtures. We present here our approach to develop nematic mixtures with wide enough temperature range and low zenithal anchoring energy.

$Reflex^{TM}$ display technology based on bistable, reflective, and flexible Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Displays is being developed and mass produced for new and non-traditional applications. These applications allow for personalization of mobile devices, very low cost display systems, and more. This display technology, its status, and new applications are discussed in this paper.

A flexible reflective cholesteric liquid crystal display (ChLCD) is fabricated on plastic substrates by using the pixel isolation method. The polymer walls between pixels and the polymer layers in the pixels are formed by two-step UV irradiation. Electro-optical response of the ChLCD with polymer wall and layer is studied and compared with conventional bistable ChLCD cells.

In a previous work we reported the bistable property by doping a chiral material in a splay cell. The bistable states are the splay state and the metastable 180$^{\circ}$twist state. The retention time of the metastable state can be changed by the variation of d/p (cell gap over pitch), cell gap, pretilt angle, azimuthal anchoring force, liquid crystal material, and so on. In this paper we will present uniform bend transition and twist retention time improvement in a multi-domain BCSN LC cell by using the multi cell gap method.

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.

쌍안정 카이랄 스플레이 네마틱 액정표시소자는 스플레이 상태와 $-\pi$ 꼬인 상태를 쌍안정 상태로 사용하는 메모리 액정표시소자이다. 셀 갭/피치의 값이 0.25일 경우 완전한 쌍안정 상태를 갖지만, $-\pi$ 꼬인 상태에서 스플레이 상태로 전이시키기 위하여 fringe 전계를 인가할 경우 픽셀영역은 전계의 왜곡에 의해서 완전한 스플레이 상태가 아니라 $-\pi$ 꼬인 상태를 부분적으로 유지하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 화소영역에서 두 안정한 상태가 공존하지 않는 $-\pi$ 꼬인 상태를 어두운 상태로 사용하는 반사형 쌍안정 카이랄 스플레이 네마틱 액정표시소자를 제안한다. 제작된 반사형 액정표시소자는 30:1의 고명암비를 나타냈으며, 응답속도는 수직전압 8 V, fringe 전압 12 V의 구동 전압으로 각각 쓰기 응답시간이 950 ms, 리셋 응답시간이 450 ms였다. 또한 제안된 셀은 +C 광학 보상 필름을 사용하여 좌우 방향에서 $180^{\circ}$의 광시야각을 나타냈다.

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, we propose the bistability the bistability in a chiral-splay nematic liquid crystal cell, which is obtained by adding a chiral additive to a splay cell and introduce a novel switching method for the bistable chiral-splay nematic cell in order to transit the LC director between the non-twisted state with splay and the 180$^{\circ}$ twist state.

A liquid crystal device with switchable dynamic and memory modes was investigated and developed. The proposed device reveals the splay, $\pi$-twist, and bend states via selective switching among them. In the dynamic mode, the device is operated in the bend state, which exhibits a wide viewing-angle and a fast-response-time due to its self-compensated bend structure and flow-accelerated fast response time, respectively. In the memory mode, the permanent memory characteristics in the splay and $\pi$-twist sates are obtained, respectively. The switching mechanisms of the tristate device are also proposed.
