发明名称 Distorted-helix ferroelectric liquid-crystalline optical modulation device and display with alignment layers having different energies
摘要 The invention provides optical modulation devices and displays of the DHFLCtype having a high contrast. Said modulation devices comprise a first substrate and a second substrate which are positioned substantially parallel to each other and which are provided, on their facing surfaces, with, in succession, an electrode layer and an orientation layer. This advantageous effect is achieved by using different orientation layers, the surfaced energy of the orientation layer of the first substrate being different from the surface energy of the orientation layer of the second substrate, said difference in surface energy being at least 5 mN/m. The orientation layer having the high surface energy is preferably made from rubbed polyimide, and the orientation layer having the low surface energy is preferably made from unrubbed polyorganosilsesquioxane. The optically active layer of the modulation devices in accordance with the invention exhibits a "tilted-bookshelf" structure.
