The advantage of using nano-ferroelectric materials in LCD
Answers
Explanation:
Summary and future prospect. The unique properties of the ferroelectric effect, particularly its spontaneous, switchable, and permanent polarization have attracted many researchers to develop many application devices, and energy harvesting technologies have exploited the unique properties of ferroelectric material.
Answer:
Digital displays nowadays play an essential and ubiquitous role in everyday life, and, in several applications, flexibility (i.e., the possibility to bend the device) or, at least, bending capability (i.e., the possibility to manufacture devices on a curved surface) is desirable or required. Polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) and other liquid crystal/polymer compounds are an interesting class of composite materials for the realization of flexible displays, since they couple the electrooptical properties of liquid crystals to the mechanical properties of polymers and can take full advantage from electronic properties of conducting copolymers. In this chapter, we will briefly discuss preparation techniques and then illustrate the working principle corresponding to different liquid crystal configurations (nematic, chiral, smectic, ferroelectric, holographic) with some examples.
