DUAL-MODE DISPLAY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dual-mode display that can save the power consumption in its spontaneous light emission mode and can be switched between a liquid crystal mode and the spontaneous light emission mode by dispersing a dopant whose solubility in a liquid crystal host material is improved in the liquid crystal host material. SOLUTION: At least one kind of organic metal complex such that at least one ligand having a long-chain alkyl group is bonded to center metal is dispersed as a dopant in the liquid crystal host material. A liquid crystal layer formed as a film of the liquid crystal host material is sandwiched between a couple of electrodes across alignment films made of a conductive polymer, etc., or between alignment-processed electrodes.
