Bistable nematic liquid crystal display with grey scale capability

摘要

The liquid crystal (10) is made up of an upper and lower holding plate (20,30) with electrodes (22,32). A principle temporary electric field (4) is applied to the side of the Liquid Crystal device. The temporary field breaks the molecule structure from its original formation. The upper and lower electrodes can then form privileged orientation positions of the molecules where the orientation changes with the voltage applied to the upper and lower plates.
