Electro-optic characteristics of millisecond response CANCE-doped twisted nematic E7 LC cell
Abstract
Novel twisted nematic liquid crystal (TNLC) cell for device applications of Canola-based cholesteryl ester (CANCE)-doped E7 was fabricated. An operating voltage of 5 VRMS was obtained using a 50% duty cycle square wave oscillator. The transmission of the TNLC cell exhibited dependence on driving voltage frequencies. During on-state, significant fluctuations are observed with driving frequencies less than 80 Hz. However, suitable electro-optic response with faster response times (order of ∼10 ms) is observed for driving frequencies higher than 80 Hz.
