Effective materials for display applications: Fullerene-doped PDLC

摘要

New fullerene-doped nematic liquid crystal spatial light modulator with Mg-phthalocyanine nanocrystals has been investigated. Temporal characteristics of this device have been studied. Based on complex formation between fullerene and phthalocyanine, it has been shown that new structure exhibits high speed and operates at supply voltage pulse frequency of more than 100 Hz. A mechanism of a liquid crystal mesophase orientation has been discussed. Potentials of the system for display application have been examined.
