Abstract

A new type of smectic liquid crystal based display technology is introduced. Thanks to commensurate liquid crystal molecular switching, even very viscous smectic liquid crystals provide sub-millisecond optical response time with decent applied voltage. This new type of display technology is called as SSD (Smectic Single Domain) liquid crystal technology. An SSD-LC panel shows applied electric field polarity dependent response. Moreover, its dynamic response gives in-plane only retardation switching with vertically applied electric field to the smectic liquid crystal layer. Sub-millisecond optical response with in-plane only retardation switching would provide almost viewing angle, color shift free image.
