    摘要: A liquid crystal switchable color filter switches between three color bands and is preferably used for time-sequential devices, such as projection devices, direct view displays and video cameras. The color filter may employ circularly polarizing selective reflection bands of at least four cholesteric filters together with three liquid crystal switches and related retarder layers. In one embodiment, the handedness of the second cholesteric is equal to the handedness of the third cholesteric filter and opposite to the handedness of the first and fourth cholesteric filter and, for the blocking state of a color band, the optic axis of the corresponding liquid crystal switch is parallel or perpendicular to the polarization direction. This concept leads to improved, excellent color saturation and requires less stringent production tolerances than in the prior art. Moreover, it advantageously allows overlapping color transmission bands thus improving the light efficiency.

    摘要: A distorted helix ferroelectric liquid crystal cell (DHF) is driven with a capacitance connected in series to the liquid crystal layer. Capacity is effected by either an external device (capacitor) or by incorporation of a insulator (dielectric) in the DHF cell. The value of the series capacity is typically smaller than about twice the capacity of the cell without the series capacitance. The capacitive drive circuit, DHF cell and method for driving the circuit and cell, function to shorten the switching times required by conventional cells.

    摘要: Known liquid crystal cells have a nematic liquid crystal configuration and, in accordance with this configuration, are referred to as TN or STN cells. It is true that such cells are adequate for many applications. However, their image quality is dependent to a very great extent on the user's angle of view. Furthermore, TN and STN cells require a continuously applied signal voltage if it is intended to display or store information on one. Bistable liquid crystal cells having a ferroelectric, chiral smectic liquid crystal layer do not have these disadvantages of nematic display cells. However, the commercial production of such bistable display cells has scarcely become established to date. This is in particular because they are not very suitable for reliably storing information or do not permit absolutely equivalent switching between the two bistable positions of the director. The invention now proposes a novel, bistable liquid crystal cell which avoids precisely these disadvantages. Starting from the SBFLC display cell disclosed in EP-A 0 405 346, the display cell according to the invention is distinguished in that its liquid crystal layer contains polymerized molecules and is formed, by treatment with light and an alternating electric field, in such a way that it has two equivalent, bistable switching states.
