Abstract
Super twisted nematic (STN) liquid crystal displays (LCDs) using spira l polymer aligned nematic (SPAN) liquid crystals have been achieved by photo-polymerization of some kinds of chiral monoacrylates in liquid crystalline hosts. The spiral polymer made of a chiral monoacrylate in STN LCD has effect to reduce the driving voltage without any disadvan tages for the STN LCD. The relation of chemical structure of a chiral monoacrylate and the nature of spiral polymer is discussed.
