H. Takatsu et al., A NOVEL LIQUID-CRYSTAL DISPLAY - A RANDOMLY-ORIENTED NEMATIC LIQUID-CRYSTAL DISPLAY (RON-LCD), Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 225, 1993, pp. 81-88
A novel liquid crystal display: a Randomly-Oriented Nematic Liquid Cry
stal Display (RON-LCD) is demonstrated and the electro-optical propert
ies are discussed compared with those of a Polymer Network Liquid Crys
tal Display (PN-LCD). The Homeotropic-RON-LCD with an 8 mum network la
yer and a 2 mum no-network layer has sufficient opaqueness at off-stat
e and can be driven by lower voltage than the d = 10 mum PN-LCD. The r
esistivity of RON-LCD is improved by using a liquid crystal PN-011.
