    摘要: The reflectance of a mirror is variable to provide a dipping car mirror. The mirror comprises a liquid crystal cell formed by two transparent slides coated on their inner surfaces with electrodes. The front electrode is transparent while the rear one is a reflector or a separate reflecting surface is provided. Between the slides is a layer 8 to 12 .mu.m thick of a cholesteric liquid crystal material. The slides are surface treated to give a high tilt homogeneous boundary condition, i.e. the liquid crystal molecules at the slide wall incline at a high (20.degree.-75.degree.) tilt to the surface. A control unit applies either a high voltage (10 volts at 1 kHz) or a low voltage (1 to 2 volts at 1 kHz). The high voltage results in the liquid crystal adopting a light transmissive state. In this state light reflects off the rear of the cell. The low voltage state is a scattering state for the liquid crystal material. In the scattering state light reflects off the front slide and is about 1/10 that reflected off the rear electrode. A photocell controls the switching of the cell. With zero voltage across the cell the liquid crystal material adopts a light transmitter state.

    摘要: A liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal cell formed by enclosing a thin layer of a cholesteric liquid crystal material between two slides. A set of electrode structures is formed on each slide so that voltages may be applied to the liquid crystal material causing an observable display effect. Voltages are supplied to the electrodes in sequence by driver electronics under the control of a logic unit which also controls a variable voltage source supplying voltages to the driver electronics. The logic unit controls the drive electronics to give an R.M.S. voltage V.sub.x at elements required to be at an OFF state and an R.M.S. voltage V.sub.c higher than V.sub.x at elements required to be in an ON state. The logic unit also controls the voltage source to reduce its voltage output to both OFF and ON elements simultaneously while maintaining the ratio of V.sub.x and V.sub.c for a period while information displayed is to be changed.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for addressing a matrix-array type liquid crystal layer. The cell has a plurality of pixels which are defined by regions of overlap between two sets of electrodes which sandwich a liquid crystal layer, each pixel having two states. The response time for switching between the two states is dependent upon the voltage across the liquid crystal layer, with a minimum occurring at a particular voltage. The method includes applying a strobe waveform to a selected member of a first set of the electrodes while a data waveform is applied to each member of the second set of electrodes. A waveform for switching a pixel defined by the selected member comprises a switching pulse of a given voltage magnitude and given duration. A waveform for not switching a pixel defined by the selected member comprises a non-switching pulse of a voltage magnitude greater than the given voltage magnitude of the switching pulse and a duration less than the given duration of the switching pulse.

    摘要: An electro-optic modulator consists of a Fabry-Perot etalon containing intra-cavity liquid crystal material between mirror layers. Each mirror bears a respective rubbed polyimide layer, which provides homogeneous alignment of the liquid crystal molecules. The mirror layers are connected to a bias voltage source, which provide an electrical bias variable between two values both above the threshold for refractive index sensitivity to applied voltage. For nematic materials, this is the Freedricks threshold or transition. The bias variation provides optical modulation of the etalon transmission with a time constant which is much shorter than devices switching between voltages either side of the threshold.
