Abstract

The authors propose a novel dual mode liquid crystal display (LCD) which has both dynamic and memory operating LCD modes. The mode uses a horizontal switching and bistable chiral splay nematic (BCSN) LCD. The proposed dual mode does not require pixeldivision and has a higher aperture ratio and resolution than the previously proposed dual mode. Experimental results of the memory and dynamic mode show a high contrast ratio of over 100:1.
