Abstract

We have studied the optically compensated splay mode using reactive mesogen (RM) monomer to reduce setting voltage and phase transition time from initial bend to splay state. When the OCS cell has low pretilt angle close to $45^{\circ}C$, OCS state can be formed easily. The low pretilt angle was formed through the polymerization of UV curable reactive RM monomer at the surfaces. In this way, reorientation of the LC is well defined and thus the device shows better performances in setting voltage and phase transition time.
