[LCT8/FLX3-4L(Invited)] Self-Recovery Mechanical/Optical Characteristics of Gel-State Liquid Crystal Mixtures for Stretchable Displays
Nematic-phase liquid crystal, physical gel, self-assembly dendrimer, stretchable display
In this paper, we present our recent studies on liquid crystal gel films as the light modulation layer for stretchable liquid crystal displays. The liquid crystal gel with self-assembly dendrimer showed light modulation based on electro-optical effect, durability to elongation and structural recovery by thermal treatment. Reversible reaction of self-assembled network will be useful for lifetime-free stretchable liquid crystal display.
