Field Sequential Fullcolor LCDs using FLC Technology

Abstract

Abstract We constructed field sequential fullcolor (FS-FC) LCDs using two kinds of mesogenic polymer stabilized FLCs; the first one is the Half V type (HV-FLCD) that exhibits asymmetric EO performance and the other is the V type (V-FLCD) exhibiting symmetric EO performance. As back a light system, we used a 2D array of red, green, and blue LEDs. We compared the performance of these two types of FS-FC-LCDs using two different kinds of FLCDs. It is concluded that a FS-FC LCD using a HV response may yield higher luminance at the white (light) state than that uses a V-FLCD.
