Abstract

Wormhole liquid crystal display modes have proposed. Micron-sized and randomly arranged holes on upper and lower electrodes are formed to disturb an electric field. The liquid crystal cells using nematic liquid crystal and homeotropic alignment showed excellent transmittance versus voltage characteristics. From optical microscope observation, radial and spherical domains were observed at the electrode holes. The position of these domains is randomly arranged and its shape is a half cut droplet of liquid crystal. Electro-optical response and viewing angle characteristics are also evaluated.
