  • 펜타-O-4-{4'-(시아노페닐아조)펜옥시}알킬-D-글루코피라노스 동족체들(CAGETn, n = 2~10, 유연격자 중의 메틸렌 단위들의 수)의 열방성 액정 특성을 검토하였다. n = 2, 7인 CAGETn은 쌍방성 네마틱 상들을 형성하는 반면 나머지 유도체들은 단방성 네마틱 상들를 형성하였다. 이것이 글루코오스 유도체가 네마틱 상들을 형성한다고 하는 최초의 보고이다. CAGETns의 액체 상에서 네마틱 상으로의 전이온도들($T_{iNS}$) 그리고 $T_{iN}$에서의 엔트로피 변화는 n의 함수로서 홀수-짝수 효과를 나타냈다. 이러한 거동은 유연격자의 홀수-짝수의 변화에 기인한 곁사슬들의 평균적인 형태변화의 견지에서 합리적으로 설명된다. CAGETns에서 관찰되는 네마틱 상에서 결정 상으로의 전이온도들($T_{NkS}$) 그리고 $T_{Nk}$에서의 엔트로피 변화도 동일한 관점에서 설명된다. $T_{iN}$ 혹은 $T_{Nk}$에서의 엔트로피 변화는 n = 4에서 재차 증가하기 전에 n = 3에서 최소를 나타냈다. 이러한 사실은 곁사슬 그룹들의 배열의 차이에 의해 초래되는 것으로 생각된다. CAGETns의 액정 상의 특성은 글루코오스에 알킬 그룹을 에테르 결합으로 부분적으로 혹은 완전치환시켜 얻은 유도체들에 대해 보고된 결과와 전혀 달랐다. 본 연구결과는 치환기들의 치환도와 화학구조가 액정들의 구조형성에 있어서 중요한 역할을 함을 시사한다.

  • We have studied the motion of charged micro-particles that are immersed in a nematic liquid crystal (LC) and controlled by in-plane field. The LC is an anisotropic liquid such that the viscosity of the LC depends on flow direction, phase of the LC, and temperature, which affects the motion of the charged particles under the influence of electric field. This study shows that the motion of charged particles mainly depends on the applied voltage and the LC phase, but does not show any significant influence from the initial alignment of LC, although one may expect directional difference in drag force due to interaction between LC and particle. The viscosity changes due to temperature variations in nematic phase also show no signification influence on particle velocity when compared to the effect from varying in-plane field strength.

  • We have studied the optimal phase retardation value of a homogeneously aligned liquid crystal (LC) driven by fringe-field when using the LC with positive dielectric anisotropy. In general, the transmittance of a homogeneous aligned LC cell under crossed polarizer is maximum when a twist angle of LC by in-plane rotation is 45$^{\circ}$ with polarizer and the cell retardation becomes λ/2. However, the device using the LC with positive dielectric anisotropy does not follow this since the degree of rotation of the LC is dependent on electrode position and in addition the LCs tilt up along the fringe-field. At the center of common and pixel electrode, the LC is most twisted around a middle position of a cell whereas at the edge position of pixel electrode, the LC is most twisted near bottom surface of a cell. Consequently, the optimal phase retardation of the device becomes much larger than λ/2 and the transmittance can be described using the combination of the in-plane switching and twisted nematic mode.

  • We demonstrate an electro-optical device based on the flexoelectric effect of a short-pitched cholesteric liquid crystal. By using a dual-frequency switchable nematic, a small amount of chiral dopant and a small amount of phase-separated polymer localized on the surface, we were able to create a device that operates in amplitude (flexoelectric) and phase(dielectric) modes. At high frequency the dual frequency liquid crystal suppresses the phase mode at higher voltage, which improves the switching speed, and thereby preserving the in-plane-switching mode.

  • 선상의 액정 다이머 동족체들인 ${\alpha},{\omega}$-비스(4-니트로아조벤젠-4'-카보닐옥시)알칸들(NATWESn, n = 2~8, 10, 유연격자 중의 메틸렌 단위들의 수)을 합성함과 동시에 이들의 열적 거동을 검토하였다. 모든 다이머들은 쌍방성 네마틱 상들을 형성하였다. 다이머들의 네마틱 상에서 액체 상으로의 전이온도들, 그리고 상 전이시의 엔트로피 변화는 n의 함수로서 커다란 홀수-짝수 효과를 나타냈다. 이러한 거동은 유연격자의 홀수-짝수의 변화에 의한 유연격자의 평균적인 형태변화의 견지에서 합리적으로 설명된다. NATWESn이 나타내는 네마틱 상의 열적 안정성과 질서도, 그리고 홀수-짝수의 크기는 니트로아조벤젠 그룹을 폴리메틸렌 유연격자를 통하여 에테르 결합으로 도입시켜 얻은 대칭 다이머들의 결과들과 거의 유사한 반면 모노메소겐 화합물들인 4-{4'-(니트로페닐아조펜옥시}알카노일 클로라이드들, 그리고 곁사슬형 액정 고분자인 폴리[1-{4-(4'-니트로페닐아조)펜옥시카보닐알카노일옥시}에틸렌]들의 결과들에 비해 판이하였다. 이들의 결과를 Imrie에 의한 'irtual trimer model'의 견지에서 검토하였다.

  • A series of compounds consisting of 4'-oxybenzylidene-4-n-butylaniline, a mesogen, and a p-substituted phenoxyterephthaloyl structure a non-mesogen, interconnected through a central hexamethylene spacer were synthesized and their thermal behavior and liquid crystallinity were studied. p-Substituents included in this study are H, Cl, CN, $NO_2,\;n-C_4H_9O$ and phenyl groups. The compounds having phenyl and $n-C_4H_9O$ substituents are enantiotropic and form smectic-A(SA) and nematic (N) phases. The compound with $NO_2$ substituent is monotropic and forms only a nematic phase on heating the solid, whereas it forms nematic as well as $S_A$ phases on cooling the isotropic liquid. The rest compounds were found to be non-liquid crystalline. This is in great contrast to the fact that the monomesogenic model compound 4'-n-hexyloxybenzylidine-4-n-butylaniline forms $S_B,\;S_C,\;S_A$ and N phases enantiotropically.

  • The characteristics of liquid crystal polymer composite(LCPC) films are possessed of large-area and flexible display, polarizer free, high contrast, wide angle of visual filed and high responsiveness. It is well known that the LCPC films consisting of a continuous LC phase embeded in a three-dimentional network of polymer matrix are formed by photopolymerization-induced phase separation. In this study, we have investigated the point that both liquid crystals and polymer having different properties have to coexiste as composed films. The purpose of this study has been the development of new application with liquid crystals and UV-curable monomers. In the results abtained on the miscibility of nematic liquid crystal and UV-curable resins, difunctional monomer HX-620 turned out to shows the best. From the results abtained on structures, electro-optical properties and dynamic visocoelasticity for LCPC films, the best mixing ratio of monomer to LC mixture were 3/7(photoinitiator; 4wt%) by weight, and this ratio has been provided the most thermal stability for LCPC films. In the results abtained on structure and discoloration properties of LCPC films, it has been demonstrated that consiste of a 8:2 mixture of chiral nematic liquid crystal and HX-620 has the greatest domain and it was the best discoloration.

  • In this work we report methods of formation of three-dimensional structures of particles in a liquid crystal host. We found that, under the appropriate conditions, the particles are captured and dragged by the moving isotropic/nematic front during the phase transition process. This movement of the particles can be enhanced significantly or suppressed drastically with the influence of an electric field and/or with changing the conditions of the phase transition, such as the rate of cooling. As a result, a wide variety of particle structures can be obtained ranging from a fine-grained cellular structure to stripes of varying periods to a course-grained "root" structures. Changing the properties of the materials, such as the size and density of the particles and the surface anchoring of the liquid crystal at the particle surface, can also be used to control the morphology of the three-dimensional particle network and adjust the physical properties of the resulting dispersions. These particle structures may be used to affect the performance of LCD's much as polymers have been used in the past.
