Cholesteryl S-alkoxybenzene thiocarbonates was synthesized and their liquid crystal transition temperature were determined. Those compounds exhibit enantiotropic cholesteric mesophases. The cholestric-isotropic transition temperatures decrease gradually with increasing alkoxy chain length and mesophase transition were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry.

$Reflex^{TM}$ 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.

We have achieved an improved stability of an analog electro-optic effect in FLC/polymer composite films. The optimization of device depends on both the composition of the FLC/polymer mixture and the energy of UV irradiation. This device exhibits continuous gray scales and the mechanical stability against external forces.

In this paper, a novel 2D/3D convertible display system based on integral imaging is proposed. Combining two liquid crystal display panels with integral imaging, it is possible to convert the display between two-dimensional mode and three-dimensional mode without mechanical movement. The proposed method is proven by preliminary experiments.

With the increasing demands for hand-held devices with lightweight and low-power-consumption displays, the role of reflective liquid crystal displays (LCDs) is becoming more and more important. Especially, the single polarizer mode is considered as a suitable structure for reflective LCDs because it can provide high brightness. However, the single-polarizer LCDs have demerit in that the contrast is lower than double-polarizer LCDs because of the light leakage in thedark state. (omitted)

Electro-optical properties of liquid crystal display (LCD) using fringe-field switching (FFS) devices depend on many parameters such as cell retardation, electrode structure, magnitude and sign of dielectric anisotropy, rubbing angle and cell gap. In this paper, the light efficiency of FFS device depending on magnitude of positive dielectric anisotropy with other cell parameters such as rubbing angle and angle and cell gap have been explored compared with FFS device using LC with negative dielectric anisotropy.

The phase separated structure and the electo-optical properties of the polymer /liquid crystal(LC) composite films including a dye were investigated. The phase separated structure of the polymer /LC / dye composite film(GH composite film) including below 2wt% dye against LC was almost same with the composite film which does not include dye. But the electro-optical properties of the GH composite film strongly depended on weight fraction of the dye against the LC. The response time of the GH composite film increased with the increase of the dissolved dye in LC because the dye acts as a registivity for the orientation of LC molecules by the electric filed.

In this paper, we investigated the feasibility of applying ZnO:Al films to display devices as transparent electrodes, and reported the electro-optical (EO) characteristics of VA cells using ZnO:Al electrodes and compared them with those of VA cells using ITO electrodes. The experiment results show that a uniform vertical LC alignment and a large pretilt angle were achieved. Also, the good voltage-transmittance curve, response time, and capacitance-voltage characteristics were observed for the rubbing aligned VA-LCD using ZnO:Al electrodes m comparison with ITO electrodes. In other words, the vertical alignment mode based on the ZnO:Al electrodes showed appropriate electro-optical characteristics and high transparency in comparison with that based on the ITO electrodes. These results indicated that the transparent ZnO:Al electrodes of the liquid crystal displays could substitute the ITO electrodes.

We have investigated about compensation film to reduce the light leakage at an oblique angle in-plane switching mode. It is well known that uncompensated in-plane switching (US) and fringe field switching (FFS) liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have much better viewing angle than other modes owing to the in-plane rotation of the LC director. However, to accomplish optimal viewing angle characteristics in these devices, they must be compensated by one or more films. So, in this paper, we have studied how to reduce the light leakage with viewing angle using discotic film in dark state.
