Abstract

This letter reports on a novel liquid crystal (LC) display device capable of achromatic reflection in a twisted homeotropic configuration using a chiral nematic LC with negative dielectric anisotropy. Using the elastic continuum formalism, we arrived at simulated values for each parameter of interest, including external twist, cell gap, molecular chirality for the chiral pitch, and the surface anchoring energy. The experimental results correspond well with the calculated expectations, exhibiting EO properties that demonstrate excellent achromatic reflection, extinction, and a high contrast ratio.
