[LCT5/FLX3-2] Preliminary Experiment on Fast Response Liquid Crystal Drive by Photo-Induced Flexoelectric Effect
nematic liquid crystal, flexoelectric effect, fast response
Aiming for realizing ultrafast response by rotating the long axis of the liquid crystal molecule, novel driving scheme based on photo-induced flexoelectric effect are investigated. As a fundamental experiment, response time of nematic liquid crystal mixed with p-dimethylamino-azobenzene are measured with using sandwiched cell whose inner bottom surface has groove structure.
