[15a-A408-3] Bistability in Hybrid Aligned Nematic Liquid Crystal Cells with Microscale Orientation Patterns

Keywords:liquid crystal, bistability, microrubbing

In the twisted nematic liquid crystal (LC) cells with periodic alignment patterns, bistable LC molecular orientation properties can be obtained in association with a change in the disclination strength. We present fundamental bistable characteristics that occurred in hybrid aligned nematic LC cells by introducing microscale rubbing patterns.
