Abstract

Wedge bistable chiral tilted-homeotropic nematic liquid crystal (BHN LC) cells with various pretilt angles are experimentally manufactured. The bistable ranges were determined experimentally and by simulation. The crucial influence of BHN LC cells on the d∕p (thickness to pitch ratio of LC cell) range in the BHN cell is determined in detail by dynamic simulation. The onset of bistability is determined by the relaxing elastic restoring force, and the relevant physical mechanism is elucidated as well.
