    摘要： A liquid crystal display device comprises: a layer of a chiral liquid crystal material disposed between first and second substrates; and means for applying a voltage across the liquid crystal layer. A first region of the liquid crystal layer is an active region for display and a second region of the liquid crystal layer is a nucleation region for generating a desired liquid crystal state in the first region when a voltage is applied across the liquid crystal layer. The ratio of the thickness d of the liquid crystal layer to the pitch p of the liquid crystal material has a first value (d/p)A in the first region of the liquid crystal layer and has a second value (d/p)N different from the first value in the second region of the liquid crystal layer. The value (d/p)N of the ratio of the thickness d of the liquid crystal layer to the pitch p of the liquid crystal material in the second region of the liquid crystal layer is selected such that, when no voltage is applied across the liquid crystal layer, the liquid crystal state stable in the second region of the liquid crystal layer is topologically equivalent to the desired liquid crystal state.

    摘要： A pi-cell liquid crystal device comprises a nematic liquid crystal layer (17) disposed between alignment layers (14,15) which provide a pretilt such that, at a zero applied field, the energy of the H-state is less than the energy of the V-state, which is less than the energy of the T-state. A drive arrangement (18) switches the pi-cell by applying a first electric field, at which the energy of the V-state is less than the energy of each of the H-state and the T-state, or a second smaller electric field, at which the energy of the H-state is less than the energy of each of the V-state and the T-state. The T-state may thus be avoided while maintaining high switching speeds.

    摘要： A broadband optical retardation device, such as may be used for polarisation encoding of display information or in diffractive optical systems, includes a patterned uniform half wave plate retarder in combination with a non-patterned uniform quarter wave plate retarder having an optic axis oriented at 90° to the xz plane. The patterned retarder consists of alternating first and second regions having first and second optic axes at different orientations to a reference axis, for example at +22.5° and −22.5° to the xz plane. Considering light of wavelength &lgr;° incident on the retarder and linearly polarised in the xy plane, such light is differently polarised by the regions, and the light output by the device includes regions in which the light is right circularly polarised and regions in which the light is left circularly polarised. In the case of incident light of wavelengths greater or less than &lgr;°, the output light becomes progressively more linearly polarised as the wavelengths departs to a greater extent from the ideal value, but not to the same extent as would be the case if the device consisted simply of a patterned single layer acting as a quarter plate retarder.

    摘要： An addressable matrix display comprises an addressable matrix of pixels, a first set of electrode tracks on one side of the matrix and a second set of electrode tracks on the other side of the matrix. The sets of electrode tracks cross one another at the locations of the pixels, and the pixels are switchable by the application of respective switching waveforms to the electrode tracks. Furthermore at least one of the electrode tracks has a resistance which varies along the length of the electrode track in order to provide increased temperature uniformity over the display due to power dissipation during switching by the switching waveforms applied to the electrode tracks. More particularly the resistance in an intermediate section of the electrode track is greater than the resistance in two end sections of the electrode track.

    摘要： A twisted nematic liquid crystal device has a liquid crystal layer between a pair of alignment layers. Glass plates with electrodes are disposed on opposite sides of the layers. The alignment layers have their alignment directions disposed mutually perpendicular and at .+-.45.degree. with respect to adjacent linear polarizers. The pretilt angle of liquid crystal molecules in a surface region of the layer adjacent the alignment layer is different to that of liquid crystal molecules in a surface region of the layer adjacent the alignment layer.
