Abstract

In this study, we have chemically modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with different side chains for better dispersion in liquid crystal solutions, and fabricated twisted nematic liquid crystal cells doped with such MWNT derivatives. The introduction of MWNT derivatives affects the alignment of LC molecules with or without external electric fields. Electro-optical property tests showed that the contrast ratio changed slightly with the sharp decrease in drive voltage, improving the drive ability of the twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD) mode.
