    摘要: A liquid crystal cell having memory is provided by disposing a liquid crystal material having nematic directors between two substrates which are fabricated to contain an array of singular points. The cell may further include means for detaching singularities such as appropriate electrode arrangements.These substrate configurations provide multistable configurations of the director alignments because disclinations must be moved, either through the bulk of the liquid crystal material or on the substrate surfaces to switch between the stable configurations.The switching of the device between stable configurations may be accomplished by the application of electrical fields to the liquid crystal material.The stable configurations may be optically differentiated by the incorporation of pleochroic dyes into the liquid crystal material or by crossed polarizers.

    摘要: Threshold electric fields required to achieve high speed matrix addressing of selected cells in a bistable nematic liquid crystal storage display are reduced by employing a short duration, priming pulse signal in accordance with the principles of the invention. The short priming pulse signal applied to a selected cell modifies the binding energy for disclinations attached to sites of orientational discontinuity, thereby changing the threshold field required for electrical switching between bistable states. Threshold reduction also depends on the AC frequency and duration of a writing pulse signal applied to the selected cell subsequent to the priming pulse signal.

    摘要: A bistable nematic liquid crystal display cell is switched between topologically equivalent, asymmetric horizontal states. Switching is initiated by application of a directional, symmetry breaking field such as a transverse magnetic field. An electric potential is then applied across the cell to complete the switching cycle and maintain the state. The cell includes upper and lower parallel substrates, upper and lower topographically textured tilt alignment surfaces on the corresponding substrates, and nematic liquid crystal material between the substrates. In an active region of the cell, the tilt alignment surfaces form an equal reverse tilt boundary condition. In an isolation region surrounding the active region of the cell, the tilt alignment surfaces form a parallel tilt boundary condition.

    摘要: A row and column matrix of strip electrodes is utilized for switching bistable liquid crystal display cells from the vertical state to the horizontal state via resistive heating by applying an electric current of sufficient magnitude and duration to selected electrodes. Resistive heating causes the liquid crystal to undergo a phase transition from the nematic mesophase to an isotropic phase. Extinction of the current permits the liquid crystal to cool preferentially into the horizontal state of the nematic mesophase. Horizontal-to-vertical state switching is performed by conventional electric field effect techniques.

    摘要: An electro-optical device includes a vertical cavity surface emitting laser, a heterojunction light emitting device and heterojunction phototransistor on a semiconductor substrate. Layers of the heterojuncticn phototransistor and the heterojunction light-emitting device are electrically and optically coupled so there is regenerative optical and electrical feedback between them. Layers of the heterojunction light-emitting devices are proton implanted to control the feedback. Plural such devices are electrically and optically coupled together to perform logic functions, such as EXCLUSIVE OR, in response to optical signals.

    摘要: In order to prevent drift between the two stable states in the bulk of the liquid crystal material, a specific cell isolation region formed from the same liquid crystal material is required. This cell isolation is provided in one embodiment by a uniformly tilted liquid crystal alignment. The surface of the substrates between which the liquid crystal material is disposed is treated to provide the uniform tilt in regions which surround the bistable volumes of liquid crystal material.
